10 best world title matches in Wrestlemania history

#8 - Batista vs The Undertaker for World Heavyweight Title (Wrestlemania 23)

This is how the stunning showdown ended

Although The Undertaker was 14-0 at Wrestlemania till 2006, he had not yet had that one breathtaking match at The Show of Shows. His Rumble victory in 2007 gave him the opportunity to finally challenge for the top title at Wrestlemania. His opponent, Batista, had been the blue brand's top guy for the past two years, on par with John Cena in the organization but despite the Rumble winner involved in this matchup, it was relegated to the mid-card for some weird reason. Rumours are Batista and Taker were not happy with this decision and decided to make most of the time they were given and boy, what a treat it was for fans.

The crowd was red hot for both the superstars even before the bell rang. Neither of the two were great in-ring technicians, yet they managed to produce a clinical contest. Batista started straight with a spear, something that we saw a few more times during the 16-minute showdown. The moment of the match came when Batista powerslammed The Deadman through the announce table. Batista even tried the spinebuster/Batista-bomb combination late in the match, but 'Taker finally hit the Tombstone Piledriver to register his 15th Wrestlemania win. So good was this encounter that it even overshadowed the subsequent Battle of the Billionaires as well as the Main Event. These two would go on to have one of the most memorable rivalries of 2007, but their first encounter still ranks as their best.
