PWInsider revealed several backstage notes regarding the Survivor Series PPV, and it was noted that Vince McMahon produced and booked the Final Farewell segment.

It was added that Triple H also reportedly had a say in how the segment was booked.
When it comes to the rest of the card, PWInsider also revealed the producers who were responsible for the matches.

The Undertaker's future
The Undertaker's Final Farewell segment was unsurprisingly Vince McMahon's brainchild with inputs from Triple H. The segment has drawn its fair share of criticism, but it was meant to be the end of the road for one of Vince McMahon's greatest creations, and the WWE Boss would be pleased with what he achieved.
When it comes to The Undertaker's retirement - this time, it's for real, as the Phenom is confident that he won't be returning to the ring. Vince McMahon also seems to have come to grips that The Undertaker deserves to enjoy a happy retirement. However, the 'never say never' adage can't be ruled out in pro wrestling. Undertaker has expressed his desire of taking up a backstage role in the WWE, and we'll have to see how that situation pans out.
