WrestleMania 33 has come and gone, and it appears as though a legend has gone with it.
After falling to Roman Reigns in the main event of the night, The Undertaker was left to himself in the middle of the ring. As he struggled to get up, replays of the match began to play before cutting back to Taker standing in the ring in full entrance garb. What happened next signaled that this just wasn't any normal ending to a WrestleMania.
First the gloves came off.

Followed by Taker removing his jacket, folding it up and setting it on top of the gloves. Lastly, he removed his iconic hat, and set it on top of the jacket in the ring.

Throughout everything, the fans in attendance rained down chants of "Thank You Taker" while also looking on in awe.
Taker then slowly left the ring, and went to the ringside area to greet his wife Michelle and the rest of his family. He slowly made his way back up the ramp where, for what could very well be the final time, he raised a fist to the sound of thunder and lightning as he sank back down into the ramp to close the show.

It was a surreal sight to see as it seemingly signaled the end of one of the greatest and most iconic superstars to ever lace up a pair of wrestling boots for the WWE.
The ring crew even left his gear in the middle of the ring as they began teardown of the WrestleMania 33 set.
