Speaking on his own Six Feet Under podcast, The Undertaker spoke about his involvement in the main event of WWE WrestleMania 40 - revealing the last-minute nature of his run-in, and the sense of closure it provided him.

Undertaker explained that he was initially contacted by Triple H on the Tuesday of WrestleMania week about the possibility of being involved, and a follow-up from Michael Hayes on the Thursday, but the specifics of his interaction with The Rock were not confirmed until Night 2 had actually begun.

'Taker was one of several high profile run-ins during the main event title match between Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes, a match which also saw interference from John Cena, The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Jimmy and Jey Uso, and Seth Rollins.

Undertaker's appearance saw him take out The Rock with a chokeslam towards the end of the match.

He also spoke about the feeling of closure his run-in gave him, explaining:

"I've been struggling with it since I retired but this weekend gave me closure. It really did. It was fun, obviously it was fun. Doing this for as long as I have and being involved, and how important that storyline was and is [...] but when it was over and I'm running out of the building, I'm like 'I'm good now.' 

"It was like a moment of clarity that I had, like 'I'm okay now.' I'm not saying that I wouldn't do something like that in the future, but I don't have that feeling in my chest like I've had since I retired that I hadn't come to peace with it."
