Roman Reigns defeated The Undertaker. After the match, Reigns stands tall while Taker is laid out on his back in the middle of the ring. Reigns makes his exit from the ring and heads up the ramp. Reigns turns around and looks at the ring. He poses with his arms in the air as the fireworks go off in the background. More fireworks go off around the Citrus Bowl as Reigns stares at the ring. Reigns turns and marches up the ramp to what sounds like a mixed reaction. His music stops and we see Taker still down in the ring.
Fans start chanting “thank you Taker” at him. Taker starts to move and then sits up in the middle of the ring. We go to replays as he struggles to get up. We come back and the lights are out as Taker stands tall in the ring with his hat and coat on. Taker’s music hits as he looks around at the crowd. Fans pop and applaud The Deadman while he takes it all in. Taker removes his gloves and wrist tape, leaving them in the middle of the ring. Taker removes his coat and his cap for another pop. Taker places his gear in the middle of the ring as the lightning strikes and the fire rages on the stage. Taker exits the ring while a spotlight is on his gear.
More than 30 minutes after the end of #WrestleMania 33, Undertaker’s iconic trench coat and hat remain in the ring.

Taker stops at Michelle McCool and his family at ringside before making the long walk up the ramp. The “thank you Taker” chants continue. Taker stops on the ramp and turns around to look at the ring. He turns back around and raises his fist as the lightning strikes again.
The gongs hit again and the stadium goes black. WrestleMania 33 goes off the air.
