In late 2004, Heidenreich began targeting The Undertaker and ended up costing him the WWE title against JBL. The Phenom went after Heidenreich in an attempt to exact revenge, with the duo facing off at Survivor Series 2004.

The Undertaker defeated Heidenreich but the rivalry was far from over. At the 2005 Royal Rumble PPV, The Undertaker faced Heidenreich in a Casket match. The bout saw interferences by WWE RAW Superstars Gene Snitsky and Kane and ended with The Undertaker picking up a win again.
This rivalry was going to culminate in a Tag Team match at WrestleMania 21, pitting The Undertaker and Kane against Heidenreich and Snitsky. The match never saw the light of day though, and The Undertaker took on Randy Orton in a marquee match at The Show of Shows.
Kane, on the other hand, was featured in the first-ever Money In The Bank match, which Edge won in the end. Judging by the reaction that The Undertaker and Randy Orton received throughout their months-long rivalry, it's safe to say that WWE made the right decision at the time.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
