Yes, The Undertaker has been defeated twice at WrestleMania during his 27-year career. In 2014 during WrestleMania 30, Brock Lesnar, a former UFC fighter, broke The Undertaker's 21-year WrestleMania streak with a win no WWE fan thought could be possible. (As seen in the image above.) In 2017 during WrestleMania 33, Roman Reigns faced The Undertaker in a nail-biting match. Using a combination of spears and Superman punches, Reigns beat The Undertaker down, leaving his WrestleMania record to 23-2.

In the world of WWE, Kane and the Undertaker are half-brothers (known as the Brothers of Destruction), which leaves fans wondering if they are, in fact, brothers in real life. Based off their last names and their prior history playing different characters in the ring, we conclude Glenn Thomas Jacobs (Kane) and Mark Calaway (The Undertaker) are not brothers in real life.

During Judgement Day 2000, The Undertaker ditched his mortician-themed attire for bandanas, sunglasses, and leather vests, taking on a new identity, "American Badass." This new persona as seen in the above image didn't last long. Fans quickly shared their feelings of distaste and after less than a year, the "American Bad Ass" was out.

As of 2019, The Undertaker has not yet retired. After being defeated by Roman Reigns in 2017 during WrestleMania 33, The Undertaker slowly slipped off his gloves, took off his iconic jacket and neatly folded it while brushing off bits of dust. The crowd stayed silent in respect, while a spotlight was left to shine on his symbolic getup as seen above. This led fans to believe he retired, but in 2018, he returned to the ring for WrestleMania 34 in a match against John Cena, signaling that he is not ready to retire.
