WWE executed its Avengers: Endgame moment at WWE WrestleMania 40. In the weekend’s main event, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns called upon his stablemates in The Bloodline to overwhelm Cody Rhodes. One by one, stars from both the current roster and yesteryear hit the ring to even the odds. Jey Uso took out his brother Jimmy. John Cena emerged to remove Solo Sikoa. The Undertaker flickered in to chokeslam Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Reigns vs. Rhodes would then play out as a one on one contest, culminating with Rhodes hitting a trifecta of finishers to secure the 1-2-3.

While Jey and Cena hit the ring from the entrance ramp, Undertaker’s cameo was executed via his classic lights out, lights on spot.
WWE Rushes The Undertaker Out of WrestleMania
Arrive. Chokeslam Hollywood’s biggest movie star. Leave.
The Undertaker made his return to WWE programming at WWE WrestleMania 40, cameoing in the main event’s final moments to take out The Rock. When the lights came back on, Taker was nowhere to be found.
Fan cameras caught Taker’s sneaky exit from Lincoln Financial Field, as footage from the crowd showed the Deadman running through floor seating towards the locker room as he was surrounded by WWE security.
This assist gave way for Cody Rhodes to win the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Rhodes is the first new titleholder of that particular championship since 2020.
