A vastly underrated WrestleMania main event, this was a modern triumph of long-term storytelling. It came after nearly a year of Edge screwing the Undertaker out of the World Heavyweight Championship and preventing the Deadman from retaliating.

The match was a showcase of the suspense that Undertaker's streak provided for so many years. Many times, it looked like Edge, who had never lost in singles competition on the grandest stage either, could break the streak.

Edge controlled most of the action, even kicking out of a Tombstone. This match is perhaps most notable for Charles Robinson's sprint to the ring after the original referee was taken out. It became an instant meme.

After Chokeslamming Curt Hawkins onto Zack Ryder, Undertaker sustained two spears and locked Edge in the submission hold that would go on to be known as the Hell's Gate.

Desperately trying to get to the ropes which were so tantalizingly close, Edge was ultimately forced to tap, and Undertaker celebrated his triumph and revenge, with the former champion bleeding from the mouth.
