#18 Austin is champion again (WrestleMania 15)

Their first match is naturally overshadowed by their subsequent two, so this feels underwhelming in comparison. Nevertheless, this was an important milestone, for The Rock more so than Austin. Though he lost on the night, this angle solidified him as a top main event talent, capitalizing on his red hot rise in the back half of 1998. His babyface turn after WrestleMania was the final ingredient that he would need.

Obviously, the most notable thing about this build was the beer truck on the go-home show, which is more fondly remembered than either this match or, in fact, the entire WrestleMania that year, which has gone down in history as a dud. This match was the best of the night, though. The ending featuring Austin and Rock is its best quality, but better things were still to come from both of these men.
