#5 The Undertaker and AJ Styles' outing at WrestleMania 36

The Undertaker and AJ Styles

At WWE Super ShowDown 2020, The Undertaker confronted AJ Styles and defeated him to win the Tuwaiq Trophy. This kicked off a rivalry that fans had been wanting to see for a long time. Styles went on to make things personal with The Deadman, by mentioning his wife, Michelle McCool. The feud culminated in a Boneyard match at WrestleMania, which saw The Undertaker burying Styles alive.

Fans might remember the continuous back-and-forth between the two legends during the match. Reports have suggested that the verbal exchange wasn't planned, and everything the duo said to each other was "100% improvised". WWE EVP Triple H approved the idea before the match was filmed, and encouraged the duo to not hold back while addressing each other during the bout. The end product was an incredible and unique match that was heavily lauded by fans and critics alike on social media. The Boneyard match has secured a spot among the greatest cinematic matches in WWE history.

#4 A hilarious moment involving The Great Khali

The Undertaker vs The Great Khali

The Undertaker recently appeared on "After The Bell" and discussed a string of topics with Corey Graves. The Phenom recalled a hilarious moment involving The Great Khali, who was at one time the most intimidating entity on the main roster. The Undertaker stated that he once squeezed Khali's heel to make sure he wouldn't walk over him during a match, and it led to the giant falling instantly while other wrestlers in the match broke character and laughed out loud.

I kid you not, all I did was take my fingers like that, and I squeezed his heel, to let him know so he didn't step on me. I squeezed his heel and all of a sudden he's like, "OOH, OOH!", he's like a redwood getting chopped out. He fell, he fell like a giant pine tree. I looked over at my corner, and everybody's on the top rope, covered up, laughing their a**es off.

The Great Khali feuded with The Undertaker in mid-2006, immediately after making his debut on WWE SmackDown. He went on to win the World title but spent his final years in WWE as an enhancement talent.

#3 The iconic Hell In A Cell moment

Mankind falls hard

The Hell In A Cell match between The Undertaker and Mankind at King of the Ring 1998 is widely regarded as possibly the most famous match of all time, primarily due to two reasons. The first was Mankind's fall off the cell, on an announce table, which is one of the most iconic visuals in WWE history. The second one happened minutes later. Mankind was Chokeslammed by The Undertaker on the top of the cell, and the script called for him to bounce off the cage.

Things went horribly wrong here, and the cage gave way, resulting in Mankind breaking through it and falling to the ring in one of the scariest moments in WWE history. The match didn't stop here though, as The Undertaker made his way down and the made quick work of Mankind to pick a victory over the sinister entity. The unscripted moment on the top of the cage could have resulted in tragedy, but thankfully, Mankind didn't suffer anything serious and went on to wrestle many more legendary matches.

#2 The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar's hilarious SummerSlam moment

The Undertaker laughs at Lesnar

At WrestleMania 30, The Undertaker's famed streak was broken by his arch-rival Brock Lesnar. The Beast ended the streak with a thunderous F5, followed by the pin that left the fans astonished beyond their beliefs. The rivalry didn't end here though. The Undertaker took a long hiatus and came back stronger and better for next year's WrestleMania, where he defeated Bray Wyatt. Months later, The Undertaker targeted Lesnar again and it led to a match at SummerSlam 2015. The Undertaker won the match in controversial fashion, and The Deadman also gave the fans one of the greatest memes in all of WWE, at one point during the match.

The hilarious visual saw Lesnar laughing while looking at The Undertaker. The Phenom didn't hold back as well and laughed back at The Beast. The unscripted moment was certainly a refreshing sight for fans who seldom got to see The Undertaker in a mood to have fun.

We both took bumps, and then I did the signature set-up. He was up, and I sat up. He started laughing so mine was kind of an evil, sarcastic laugh back at him. I was shocked at the people’s [reaction]. They were so enthralled by the way that we were laughing at each other.

The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar are bitter rivals and have had a long string of matches in a WWE ring. It's safe to say that this was the most hilarious thing that came out of this rivalry.

#1 An unexpected moment in the midst of one of the greatest matches ever

The big botch during The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels

At WrestleMania 25, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels went at it in what many later dubbed as the greatest wrestling match of all time. The 30-minute outing was chock-full of close finishes, devastating finishers, and incredible high-flying spots. It had everything that a perfect bout needed to have. This almost perfect match was marred by an unfortunate moment that happened while The Undertaker took flight in an attempt to throw himself on Michaels, who put the cameraman in harm's way. The latter was supposed to catch The Deadman. Things didn't end as had been planned, and the cameraman failed to do his job, leading to The Undertaker landing on the floor in a scary visual.

Here's what The Undertaker had to say about the botch:

“I’ve got a lot but I tell you what, WrestleMania 25 with Shawn. Man, that’s just one of those matches that everything went the way it was supposed to go, for the most part. It would’ve been nice to do the dive and land on somebody but, other than the lawn dart over the top rope, that was really special.”

Sim Snuka, son of WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka, was the cameraman in question. He was released from his contract three months later.
