One of the greatest storylines heading into a WrestleMania match surrounded the feud between Shawn Michaels and John Cena. The two men faced off in the main event of WrestleMania 23 for the WWE Championship back in 2007, but ahead of this match, the duo were Tag Team Champions.

Cena and Michaels won the WWE Tag Team Championships in an impromptu match against Rated RKO the night after the Royal Rumble. Michaels then went on to win a triple threat match that also included Triple H and Edge to become the number one contender to Cena's Championship.

The two men were able to build up their WrestleMania match whilst also retaining their Tag Team Championships for almost four months. It wasn't until WrestleMania when Cena defeated Michaels to retain his WWE Championship, that it was obvious that their time as a team had come to an end.

Michaels turned on Cena the night after WrestleMania and cost his former friend the Tag Team Championships, which marked the end of an interesting storyline between the two men.
