The wrestler, whose real name is Mark Calaway, announced his retirement from the WWE during the Survivor Series back in November 2020.

His retirement brought to an end his 30-year stay with the Vince McMahon-led company.

Emotional moment as The Undertaker sheds tears during induction

It was a special moment for The Undertaker as he had McMahon himself induct him into the Hall of Fame.

The wrestling chief made an epic speech before the wrestling icon made his way into the ring from the arena.

The duo went on to embrace each other before The Undertaker, who usually projects a valiant and daring face gave fans a sneak peek into his real-life persona.

The 57-year-old took close to 10 minutes before he could utter a word as a huge ovation from fans.

Emotions eventually got the better of the wrestling legend and could be seen wiping tears from his eyes several times before finally speaking.

He went on to pull on his trademark hat and coat again as the fans chanted for “one more match."

And in what appeared as a huge hint he could wrestle again, the Dead Man, as he is fondly known, turned to the camera and said: “Never say never.”
