#3 The Undertaker redeemed himself

Taker still has a run in him.

When the Undertaker wrestled Goldberg in the main event of Super Showdown, nearly the entire WWE universe called for the Deadman to hang up his boots and spare himself from "further humiliation". However, little did they know that Taker was still good to go. Everything during that match went against him and Goldberg, from the concussion to the crowd, to the heat (literally). When he returned on Raw three weeks ago, it really seemed like he wanted redemption from that unfortunate performance in Jeddah.

He teamed with Roman Reigns to take on Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre to open the main card of Extreme Rules. The match was a fun one, albeit slightly less extreme than what one would have expected. The Undertaker played his part well enough, doing all of his signature moves pretty much without a hitch. He even received chants of "You still got it" from the Philly crowd . Extreme Rules must be lauded as the show where the Deadman exterminated the bad memories of his match with Goldberg. This was also the Undertaker's first pre-scheduled pay-per-view match in North America since WrestleMania 33.
