"Never say never, but at this point in my life and in my career, I have no desire to get back in the ring. I'm at a point, it's time this cowboy really rides away," The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Calaway, said during the fifth and final episode of the docuseries.

"There's nothing left for me to conquer. There's nothing left for me to accomplish. The game has changed. It's time for new guys to come up. The time just seems right. I think this documentary has helped me discover that. It's really opened my eyes to the bigger picture," he added.

The Undertaker's last match in WWE was at WrestleMania 36, where the 'Phenom' grappled against AJ Styles in a Boneyard match in April in which The Deadman had emerged victorious.

He was first introduced in the 1990's Survivor Series when he debuted as the final member of Ted DiBiase's "Million Dollar Team." He holds an enviable record of 25-2 at the Wrestlemania.
