WWE Raw 25: 6 things we learned as The Undertaker returns to Monday Night Raw
Old and new converge to celebrate 25 years of action.
Superstars of the past and present converged, there was plenty of looking back and reminiscing, including some special moments for 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and The Undertaker.
But the beauty of professional wrestling is that the world always keeps turning, and things keep moving forward, and there was also a massive title change and some hellacious action with the current squad before WWE Royal Rumble 2018.
Forget the rumours, SURELY The Undertaker has really retired for good
After he was beaten at WrestleMania 33 in the main event by Roman Reigns, it looked for all the world that The Undertaker had finally retired.
His body has been breaking down in recent years, and despite some definite highlights, perhaps the final true peak was his last successful defence of his Streak, against CM Punk at WrestleMania 29.
When his return was confirmed for Raw 25, many thought he may yet have one more match in him. There's been plenty of talk about John Cena at WrestleMania 34. But last night seemed to put the nail in the coffin of such talk "The carnage began on this sacred ground of evil 25 years ago. I've taken legends and ripped them off their pedestals and thrown them in the cold dark earth.
"Stone Cold answered to the Reaper, Mick Foley answered to the Reaper, even my own flesh and blood Kane had to answer to the Reaper.
"They all tried, they all failed. And now on this sacred ground, I declare for all of those who have fallen, it is truly time you Rest In Peace."
And for in-ring action for the Deadman, despite over 70% of you wanting One More Match, that surely is that.
