The Undertaker had already established himself as one of the greatest legends ever to have graced the ring. Which is why his retirement came as a shock to a lot of people. He announced the news in the last chapter of his documentary ‘The Last Ride [https://watch.wwe.com/original/Undertaker-The-Last-Ride-134576]’. Taker has been planning his retirement for ages. However, he repeatedly said that he never found the perfect ending. No one could have predicted that Taker would choose to end his career this year. It seems like the entire documentary paved the way to this troublesome news. WWE SUPERSTARS REACT TO UNDERTAKER RETIRING WWE Superstars have always admired the legendary Phenom. They paid tribute to the legend on Twitter. TAKER’S FINAL MATCH Undertaker last appeared on WrestleMania 36. He faced AJ Styles [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/aj-styles] in what was one of the best written WWE matches in history. In the last chapter of Taker’s documentary, it was also revealed that Styles pitched in the idea for the match. The Phenom [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-undertaker/] had no intention to come back for a matchup. He turned Styles down stating that he would have wrestled him if it was years back. However, Taker eventually agreed for the match. Styles delivered some great promos taunting The Undertaker and the seeds to their feud were sown. Taker won the match burying Styles in the process. THE END OF AN ERA Taker left the fans saddened after the big reveal. Many expected the last chapter to contain more details of his legendary career. The Phenom made quite the revelation towards the end of the chapter. “I’m at a point, it’s time this cowboy really rides away. There’s nothing left for me to conquer or accomplish. The game has changed. It’s time for new guys to come up. The time just seems right. “This documentary has helped me discover that and opened my eyes to the bigger picture and not judge myself as harshly these last few years,” said The Deadman. A WrestleMania without The Undertaker seems like too huge a void to fill. Could Taker return at a later point? Maybe, maybe not. As of now, a legend has hung up his boots. 

The Undertaker announced his retirement taking everyone by shock. Following
this, WWE Superstars took to Twitter to pay tribute to the legend.

With an array of skills, talents, and experience beyond his years, AJ Styles is inarguably one of WWE’s biggest assets. His performances have been lauded by WWE legends including The Undertaker himself.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Before finally making it to WWE, Styles had a long career as a professional wrestler through various promotions. Everyone already knew who AJ Styles was.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/20/a9/63/20a9632eee57a35967eb541b449fdb4b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />
<h2>History<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></h2>
<h3>Early Career<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></h3>
At the young age of 21, Styles entered the world of professional wrestling. He wrestled for NWA-based promotions and less notable promotions with a masked gimmick.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/wwe_16_9_s/public/video/thumb/2016/01/AJstyles_inferno_012716.png" alt="" width="640" height="360" data-noaft="1" />

However, natural talent saw Styles rise up the pecking order. His performances soon caught the eye of WCW, and the company even offered him a contract.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Styles appeared on one episode of Nitro, where he lost a tag team match in an ongoing tournament. He later appeared for a WWF tryout but was not offered a contract despite winning his match.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wrestleview.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/aj-styles-in-nwa-wildside.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="394" data-noaft="1" />

He was once more offered a choice to continue in WWF but had to relocate to a development territory in another state.

Due to the interference with his wife’s college schedule, Styles turned down the offer and continued wrestling on the independent scene.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>ROH<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></h3>
Styles got a foothold in ROH by quickly rising to the top of approval ratings. He was used as the main card performer and had several championship shots.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.imgur.com/fzzlJr3.jpg" alt="" width="564" height="376" data-noaft="1" />

Styles competed across various formats, engaging in major singles feuds as well as Tag Team ones. Attracting a lot of eyeballs to the nascent promotion, Styles had a major showdown with a young CM Punk.

He managed to beat Punk twice, with the second match involving Ricky Steamboat as Guest Referee.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/aj-styles-cm-punk-8.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="500" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>TNA<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></h3>
AJ Styles took his popularity to another level at TNA where he made ripples into waves. Quickly making his presence felt, Styles became the first X-Division Champion.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/aj-styles-x-division-champion-1931392-1280x720.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

Unlike other belts, it was the wrestler that made the belt known, and Styles elevated the status of the X Division Championship. He went on to conquer a series of belts during his time in TNA.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

‘The Phenomenal One’ found himself alongside WWE legends such as Kurt Angle, Booker T, Jeff Hardy, and Christian. He would also compete with future stars such as Samoa Joe.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wrestlerant.com/uploads/5/7/3/2/5732092/9217654_orig.jpg?342" alt="" width="750" height="500" data-noaft="1" />

While the former WWE stars like Jeff Hardy often took the driver's seat, Styles proved his mettle time and again by giving them wrestling of the highest quality.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

He even had a memorable Tag Team run with Kurt Angle and was widely praised for his work then. Styles was the face of TNA at one point and became the dominant Champion during all his reigns.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ewrestlingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/ajstyles-1280x720.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

While Styles had a lot of forgettable moments like being the protege of Ric Flair, he was a star and a living legend in TNA. His work with former WWE Superstars got him a lot of attention from the fans and critics.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

AJ Styles had a number of appearances in Mexican and Japanese Wrestling promotions as part of TNA partnerships that further elevated his skills. The diversity of moves at his disposal increased.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.ringsidenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/aj-styles-jeff-hardy-488-600x375.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="375" data-noaft="1" />

After nearly 12 years at TNA, Styles parted ways with the promotion. There were reports that negotiations had broken down early on. Styles later revealed that the new contract offer <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-they-wanted-me-to-take-less-money-aj-styles-reveals-why-he-parted-ways-with-tna/">involved</a> reducing his salary by 60%.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>Return to ROH, NJPW, and Independent Scene</h3>
Styles briefly returned to ROH for two years and began competing regularly. He also competed in the Independent scene during this time and worked every chance he got.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://d2isjg8ovcm7q0.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/styles/roh_slider/public/aj1.jpg" alt="" width="1600" height="691" data-noaft="1" />

Appearing across various promotions, Styles made it to Chikara, CZW, and Revolution Pro Wrestling. He took his services to England as well where he had a match against Lionheart.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Styles even went all the way to Japan to compete in the NJPW. There, he beat Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura respectively to become a two-time IWGP World Heavyweight Champion.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CkcWNz8I58k/Vx0vqmL3yoI/AAAAAAAAAU4/1UT5iw4iG7o78Hdt3GKz6dM82ija8TUVQCLcB/s1600/AJ-Styles-IWGP.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="640" data-noaft="1" />

At this point, ‘The Phenomenal One’ had developed top-level skills and different wrestling styles. In fact, he was being recognized as the best professional wrestler in the world.

He was beyond his time in experience and finally caught the eye of WWE who immediately sought his services.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>WWE</h3>
AJ Styles finally found himself in the biggest scene at WWE. Styles made an epic <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubZR-cfkSDQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">debut</a> at Royal Rumble in 2016 which earned him one of the biggest crowd pops in WWE history.

The debut was named the best of the decade by WWE.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/og_image/public/2019/02/ajstyles--1dc3279de967216d4f52838f36f379aa.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Styles went on to be a major PPV contender and ignited a feud against Chris Jericho himself as his first major storyline. Styles went on to make an explosive first appearance at WrestleMania, where he faced off against Jericho.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Styles then set his sights on the gold. After defeating John Cena twice in two dream matches, Styles went on to challenge Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley) for his WWE World Championship. After a 140 day-reign, Styles lost the title to Cena, ending their feud.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://talksport.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2020/07/ena-styles.jpg?strip=all&amp;w=960&amp;quality=100" alt="" width="960" height="540" data-noaft="1" />

‘The New Face of WWE’ then went on to have a memorable feud against Shane McMahon that went on to WrestleMania 33 and a successive feud with Kevin Owens in which Styles ended up winning the United States Championship.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>
<h3>Year-long WWE Championship reign</h3>
<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/zpQSX8OEpdW9rX_qrDZgqqRN4yc=/0x0:1200x675/1200x800/filters:focal(751x247:943x439)/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/58020967/180_COC_12172017ej_4966__c9809ba566b8290d943700769ca176b0.0.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" data-noaft="1" />

AJ Styles managed to win the WWE Championship once more by taking down Jinder Mahal. He then went on to the biggest challenge of his career in Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

‘The Phenomenal One’ gave fans the best showdown they had witnessed in recent years as he faced ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/00/4b/b8/004bb8a0f9571b51a9d938c0aa39a05b.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="1200" data-noaft="1" />

Despite being the visible underdog in the match, Styles did his best damage and surprised a lot of fans. Unfortunately, the relentless force in Lesnar overpowered Styles. The loss was actually a win, as AJ Styles was now known far and wide for his talent.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

The Superstar went on to hold the WWE Championship for over a year. He lost the title against Daniel Bryan on an episode of SmackDown, ending his reign at a massive 371 days.

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://wrestlingworld.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Styles.png" alt="" width="920" height="615" data-noaft="1" />
<h3>Feud with The Undertaker</h3>
Styles found himself at a new height when he ignited a feud against The Undertaker himself. ‘The Deadman’ neared the end of his career, and Styles in his heel role was becoming the talk of the WWE Universe.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OX1OFJhJGa8/maxresdefault.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="720" data-noaft="1" />

The two had a long feud that was supposed to end at Clash of Champions but went on to WrestleMania! AJ Styles fought ‘The Deadman’ in the first-ever Cinematic match and made his mark in WWE history.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Later, The Undertaker announced his retirement from WWE. This meant that AJ Styles is the last man to ever face ‘The Deadman’, a fitting end to a long and illustrious career. This is yet another badge on the brilliant run of Styles.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://fansided.com/files/2020/04/WM36_HM_28886.jpg" alt="" width="3871" height="2581" data-noaft="1" />

The Intercontinental Championship found Styles tussling with Sami Zayn and Jeff Hardy in a feud that would end up in Zayn’s favor. Styles was then drafted to Raw, the brand on which he performs today.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

Styles led his team to victory at Survivor Series when Team Raw defeated Team SmackDown with ease. He roamed Raw with a humongous bodyguard called Omos, who kept the enemies away quite effectively.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">With his new partner Omos, AJ Styles started dominating the Raw tag division. The biggest prize for the duo came when they </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQrIqJH4uLk"><span style="font-weight: 400">won </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">the Raw Tag Team titles at </span><span style="font-weight: 400">WrestleMania 37. The duo kept the title around their waists for a total of 133 days, before dropping the titles to </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt9jPH7vVK8"><span style="font-weight: 400">Rk-Bro </span></a><span style="font-weight: 400">at the SummerSlam PPV.</span>

<img class="n3VNCb alignnone" src="https://i1.wp.com/www.theilluminerdi.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Aj-and-Omos.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" data-noaft="1" />

Following that, Styles and Omos faced RK-Bro in a rematch at Crown Jewel and lost again. Omos and Styles broke up after Omos attacked Styles on the December 20 episode of Raw.

He was beyond his time in experience and finally caught the eye of WWE who immediately sought his services.  WWE AJ Styles finally found himself in the biggest scene at WWE. Styles made an epic debut at Royal Rumble in 2016 which earned him one of the biggest crowd pops in WWE history. The debut was named the best of the decade by WWE.  Styles went on to be a major PPV contender and ignited a feud against Chris Jericho himself as his first major storyline. Styles went on to make an explosive first appearance at WrestleMania, where he faced off against Jericho.  Styles then set his sights on the gold. After defeating John Cena twice in two dream matches, Styles went on to challenge Dean Ambrose (now Jon Moxley) for his WWE World Championship. After a 140 day-reign, Styles lost the title to Cena, ending their feud.  ‘The New Face of WWE’ then went on to have a memorable feud against Shane McMahon that went on to WrestleMania 33 and a successive feud with Kevin Owens in which Styles ended up winning the United States Championship.  Year-long WWE Championship reign AJ Styles managed to win the WWE Championship once more by taking down Jinder Mahal. He then went on to the biggest challenge of his career in Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series.  ‘The Phenomenal One’ gave fans the best showdown they had witnessed in recent years as he faced ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar. Despite being the visible underdog in the match, Styles did his best damage and surprised a lot of fans. Unfortunately, the relentless force in Lesnar overpowered Styles. The loss was actually a win, as AJ Styles was now known far and wide for his talent.  The Superstar went on to hold the WWE Championship for over a year. He lost the title against Daniel Bryan on an episode of SmackDown, ending his reign at a massive 371 days. Feud with The Undertaker Styles found himself at a new height when he ignited a feud against The Undertaker himself. ‘The Deadman’ neared the end of his career, and Styles in his heel role was becoming the talk of the WWE Universe.  The two had a long feud that was supposed to end at Clash of Champions but went on to WrestleMania! AJ Styles fought ‘The Deadman’ in the first-ever Cinematic match and made his mark in WWE history.  Later, The Undertaker announced his retirement from WWE. This meant that AJ Styles is the last man to ever face ‘The Deadman’, a fitting end to a long and illustrious career. This is yet another badge on the brilliant run of Styles.  The Intercontinental Championship found Styles tussling with Sami Zayn and Jeff Hardy in a feud that would end up in Zayn’s favor. Styles was then drafted to Raw, the brand on which he performs today.  Styles led his team to victory at Survivor Series when Team Raw defeated Team SmackDown with ease. He roamed Raw with a humongous bodyguard called Omos, who kept the enemies away quite effectively.  With his new partner Omos, AJ Styles started dominating the Raw tag division. The biggest prize for the duo came when they won the Raw Tag Team titles at WrestleMania 37. The duo kept the title around their waists for a total of 133 days, before dropping the titles to Rk-Bro at the SummerSlam PPV. Following that, Styles and Omos faced RK-Bro in a rematch at Crown Jewel and lost again. Omos and Styles broke up after Omos attacked Styles on the December 20 episode of Raw. AJ Styles 2022 Achievements  During his time in TNA and NWA, AJ Styles was a two-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, two-time TNA World Tag Team Champion, and a 6-time TNA X Division Champion. He was also a 3-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion, and a 4-time NWA World Tag Team Champion. In ROH, Styles won the ROH Pure Championship and the ROH World Tag Team Championship. In NJPW, he was a 2-time IWGP Heavyweight Champion. https://youtu.be/BLzLocz9hiY Since joining WWE, AJ Styles has won the WWE Championship twice, the WWE United States Championship thrice, the WWE Intercontinental Championship once, and also the Raw Tag Team Championship.  He is also regarded as the last man to fight The Undertaker after ‘The Deadman’ decided to step away from the ring in 2020.  AJ Styles 2022 Net Worth Accounting for his experienced Wrestling career, AJ Styles is worth about $ 6 million. This figure is bound to increase with time as Styles proves to be a valuable asset for the company. AJ Styles 2022 Charities  Following the destruction caused in Houston by Hurricane Harvey, AJ Styles, along with WWE Hall of Famer, Mark Henry, helped out delivering food packages to assembly-line volunteers.  The effort was part of the Houston Habitat for Humanity charity in which WWE played an integral part.

In Cardiff, he granted the wishes of 4 children through various wish-making agencies.

<h2 style="text-align: center">The Undertaker 2022: Net Worth, Salary, &amp; Endorsements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">Mark Callaway, better known as "The Undertaker", is perhaps the most iconic superstar in the history of the WWE. For the better part of his career, his name was synonymous with professional wrestling.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker became a cultural icon around the world. Moreover, the gong signifying his entry still induces goosebumps in long-time wrestling fans. However, you'll be shocked to know that this legend wasn't always into professional wrestling. Initially, he wanted to pursue a career in basketball.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">However, fate took him to the doors of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where he wrestled as Mean Mark Callous. Before that, he had wrestled for WCCW and Continental Wrestling Association under various gimmicks.</p>
https://youtu.be/sCZzhsd_NNY
<p style="text-align: center">His true calling was the WWE where he made his iconic debut as a part of the Survivor Series team of Ted DiBiase, called The Million Dollar Team. His moniker was The Undertaker, a person who disposes of corpses. The idea seemed silly at face value, and it was thought that The Undertaker will become another one of WWE's monster heels who only exist to make the babyfaces look better.</p>
https://youtu.be/1yT9LC6-i64
<p style="text-align: center">However, with his utmost dedication and the backing of Vince McMahon, he converted it into one of the most successful gimmicks in WWE history. He won numerous accolades and played various versions of his character. In the attitude era, he was the evil priest leading the ministry of darkness.</p>


[caption id="attachment_420586" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-420586 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201023191332/GettyImages-117935251.jpg" alt="Undertaker and Kane" width="1920" height="1258" /> The Undertaker vs Kane during Wrestle Mania XX at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, United States. (Photo by KMazur/WireImage)[/caption]
<p style="text-align: center">After that, he switched it for a biker character which received mixed reviews. However, the most successful version of his character came under "The Dead Man" personality, which gained mainstream recognition and saw many popular rip-offs. That was how powerful he had become.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Interestingly, The Undertaker character gained such a life that WWE created several layers of the storyline around him. He was given an entire family, which included his evil father, Paul Bearer, who would walk around with his urn all the time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He was also given a fictitious brother in the form of WWE legend Kane. WWE had a great time creating hundreds of storylines around these characters, leading to some of the greatest moments in WWE history. They also inspired lots of fan fiction about his family members.</p>
https://youtu.be/EbXEG0w2R70
<p style="text-align: center">Another famous legend around his character is his various deaths. Obviously, WWE would play with that, considering the opportunity. He has died so many times on television that it's difficult to keep count, and there's an entire match concept around this called "The Buried Alive" match. Wrestling fans happily suspend their disbelief to enjoy this fantastic character.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">Over the years, The Undertaker became so popular that it was impossible for him to remain heel. Fans would cheer for him, regardless. That's why, even though his character had evil connotations, he played babyface many times in his career. As a living legend today, he gets the biggest props, and history will remember The Undertaker as the man who changed the course of professional wrestling forever.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Undertaker">holds many records</a> within the WWE. He is a seven-time world champion, winning the WWF/E championship four times and the world heavyweight championship three times.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He is also a six-time tag team champion, winning once with Stone Cold Steve Austin, twice with The Big Show, once with The Rock, and twice with Kane. Moreover, he is the winner of the 2007 Royal Rumble. That explains why he is considered one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">However, his biggest success rate is at WWE's biggest show, WrestleMania. The Undertaker debuted at WrestleMania in 1991 and won against Jimmy Snuka in his match. Over the years, his WrestleMania win-loss would extend to 21-0.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">He only missed out on WrestleMania 10 (1994) and WrestleMania 2000. The streak was finally broken in 2014 by The Beast Brock Lesnar.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Undertaker has competed in five more WrestleMania matches since then, winning four of them against Bray Wyatt, Shane McMahon, John Cena, and AJ Styles.
