UNDERTAKER COMMENTS ON WHETHER HE COULD HAVE STOPPED VINCE MCMAHON FROM ENDING THE WRESTLEMANIA STREAK, TAKER AND SNOOP DOGG TEAM UP AND MORE

The Undertaker sat down with Sports Illustrated to discuss his Final Farewell this Sunday at this link.  Undertaker admitted he didn't believe Brock Lesnar needed to be one to end his Wrestlemania streak, pointing out it would have done "much more" for Roman Reigns than Brock.  

When asked if he could have changed Vince McMahon's mind on that finish, he responded:

"Through the course of my 30 years, I've had several conversations with Vince and not agreeing with a direction we were moving in or a finish," he explained. "I'd go into his office and we'd discuss it and go back and forth, back and forth and finally, it's like 'O.K., we'll do it your way.'  "Could I have probably changed the finish? Maybe. I think probably I could've. It had gone back and forth several times. The day of WrestleMania when I showed up, I was going over. The finish got changed during the day.   I remember clear as day, I was sitting in the dressing room by myself. Vince comes walking in. Vince never comes into the dressing rooms. Usually you get summoned to his office. As soon as I seen him come in the dressing room, I knew exactly what he was coming in for. He gave me his spiel. I said, 'Are you sure? Cause once we do this, we can't go back. Once the streak's broken, it's broke.' "So I just had a few questions that made him think for a second and he was like, 'Yeah, this is what I want to do' and I said, 'O.K., that's what we'll do then.'"

WWE announced a new Snoop Dogg-Undertaker merchandise collaboration:

WWE Shop has merchandise inspired by The New Day being DLC characters in the Gears of War 5 videogame.
