This match was only slightly below their WrestleMania 25 classic, but the rematch had a much different atmosphere.

Still agonizing that he couldn't get the job done the year before, Shawn Michaels was suffering from an identity crisis. He demanded a rematch. Undertaker, the World Heavyweight Champion at the time, refused.

As a result, Shawn Michaels cost him his title. This got the Deadman to acquiesce - but only on condition that HBK's career was over if he lost the match. It was a big ask, but Shawn Michaels figured that if he couldn't beat The Undertaker and break the streak, what good was his career anyway? He accepted.

The war this time around was much more bitter than the last one, with an infamous show of disrespect from Shawn Michaels at the end of the match when he realized he just didn't have what it took. Ultimately, Undertaker finished him off, and the two buried the hatchet in the middle of the ring, to the delight of the crowd.

It was a perfect sendoff for Shawn Michaels, a lesson which Undertaker would, unfortunately, fail to heed.
