Could there be another match? May be even a rematch?

Michelle McCool has confirmed that he has NO social media accounts at all. Any Facebook or Twitter accounts claiming to be him are imposters.

The streak was not what made Undertaker a legend and he was a badass dude with an iconic presence LONG before the streak ever became a thing. I have to laugh sometimes because it seems that some of the younger modern fans actually think Taker just existed for the streak and was debuted for the sole purpose of maintaining a winning streak at WM. It's such a travesty to an excellent character that these fans seem to know nothing of his history and saga. To say he should never wrestle or come back because the streak is gone is asinine. I would love to see one more match provided the creative is good and makes sense and he's healthy and fit and motivated for one final conclusion.

The only reason he was around in 2010 was because of the Streak.
Legitimately, his only appearances in 2011 were for the defense of the Streak.
His only 2012 appearances revolved around the Streak.
Besides his couple of appearances against the Shield, he was only around in 2013 because of the Streak.
His only 2014 appearances were solely for the Streak.

He has only made appearances the last five years for the Streak.

The Streak is over. His somber walk back up the aisle with "21-1" emblazoned on the screen and shocked faces emblazoned on the fans' faces was his farewell.

There's nothing he could do at this point. Let the man retire and induct him into the Hall of Fame.

Yes the only reason he was making a return each year was to defend his streak. The streak helped extend his career and keep him a consistent wrestling presence while allowing him healing time (he had hip re-surfacing in 2012) and maintain him a little longer. That doesn't mean that now that the streak is over that any appearance he makes or anything he gets involved in his automatically rendered meaningless. My point is that the streak was not his lifeblood and did NOT turn him into the legendary star that he is now. People erroneously believe that and I think it needs to be re-enforced more often that the streak was not The Undertaker.

I'm perfectly fine with letting him retire and have the much-deserved time away from wrestling and see his career get the recognition it deserves. But to say that he should never come back because anything he does would be pointless and the streak is gone is silly. There's nothing he could do at this point? Well for starters, he could end his career on a much better note storyline-wise than that shitty build-up they gave him and Brock last year. He could go out on a masterful performance in the ring... you know... actually conscious this time and knowing where he is. It's sad to think that such a great performer won't even remember his last match and our last image of him is to see him severely hurt and practically unable to stand, stumbling to the back in a total daze. It was not right for the last Undertaker moment. The crowd was too shocked and upset to give him the full cheer and support he should have had walking to the back. There were actual chants of "bullsh%t" and "we want refunds" even as he walked through the curtain. I know that this seems like not a big deal and somehow an ok final "farewell" to general wrestling, non-Undertaker fans, but to people like myself who view Taker as their favorite and have been following his career since day 1, that is NOT a fitting farewell and he deserves so so much more than that.

To say he should never come back or wrestle again (provided he is healthy... after all please remember he was severely injured in the first few minutes of his match with Brock and it's not just a given that he's suddenly turned to complete sh%t in the ring) is really robbing him of a moment and a chance at personal or character redemption that he deserves should he desire it.
