The Undertaker says WrestleMania 40 gave him "closure."

Taker appeared during the night two main event between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. He helped Rhodes fend off The Bloodline's interference by chokeslamming The Rock. 

Taker addressed his appearance at Mania during the most recent episode of his Six Feet Under podcast. 

Taker said:

I've been struggling with it since I retired but this weekend gave me closure. It really did. It was fun, obviously, it was fun. Doing this for as long as I have and being involved and that, and how important that storyline was and is but when it was over and I'm running out of the building, I'm like 'I'm good now.' 

Taker continued:

It was like a moment of clarity that I had like, 'I'm okay now.' I'm not saying that I wouldn't do something like that in the future but I don't have that feeling in my chest like I've had since I retired that I hadn't come to peace with it. 

He noted that since his retirement it's been difficult for him to attend WWE events as he always felt an urge to perform. He now feels as though he can close that book, however. 

Taker continued:

It was such a cool weekend all the way around and then to have closure to the wrestling part of my career, it was so cool. It was really cool, it was a great feeling. It really is an amazing feeling because I don't have that pressure now. It's been difficult the last couple of years, especially at Mania. Even going to a regular premium live event, I've told you this, I would leave before the matches because I get so to the point where I need to be out there. 

So I was out there, and my goodness what a moment to have. It's such a great storyline but, man, it was like I can close this book.
