WWE legend The Undertaker (real name Mark Calaway) is officially set to retire from in-ring competition at this year's iteration of the Survivor Series pay-per-view on Sunday, Nov. 22, with WWE announcing the "Undertaker's Final Farewell" for the event.
The Undertaker's Final Farewell comes 30 years to the day after the Phenom made his WWE debut at Survivor Series on Nov. 22, 1990. Immediately following Survivor Series 2020, Undertaker will also be a guest on the WWE Network's Steve Austin's Broken Skull Sessions. "From his debut with Brother Love to his critically-acclaimed match against AJ Styles at this year's WrestleMania, Undertaker has been involved in some of the most memorable moments in WWE history," WWE said in its official announcement. "The Deadman rose to the top of sports-entertainment with multiple WWE Championship reigns and recorded an astounding undefeated streak at WrestleMania by winning his first 21 matches at the annual extravaganza."
To further commemorate the Undertaker's 30th anniversary with WWE and his impending retirement, WWE is celebrating "30 Years of The Deadman" throughout the month of November with such recently-premiered WWE Network documentaries as Meeting The Undertaker and WWE Untold: The Phenom and The Legend Killer. The Mortician: The Story of Paul Bearer -- a documentary dedicated to the Undertaker's late former manager Paul Bearer (real name Bill Moody) -- is also set to debut on the WWE Network this Sunday, Nov. 8, with Brothers of Destruction -- a documentary about the Undertaker and his kayfabe younger brother Kane (real name Glenn Jacobs) that originally premiered at the Austin Film Festival last month -- arriving on the streaming platform next Sunday, Nov. 15. Moreover, the docuseries Undertaker: The Last Ride (originally believed to be the Undertaker's official retirement announcement) was recently added to the free tier of the WWE Network.
Per WWE, the "30 Years of The Deadman" celebration also includes "Undertaker photo galleries, video highlights and features on WWE.com, Undertaker TikTok Challenge, Instagram filter and Snapchat lens, two exclusive product opportunities with Funko only available at Amazon, feature space in 2,300 Walmart’s including an exclusive Mattel action figure, national media appearances including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and blocks of primetime programming from WWE’s distribution partners around the world dedicated to Undertaker."
