#1 Return from the burning casket - Survivor Series 2005

Randy Orton and Bob Orton faced Undertaker in a Handicap Casket Match at No Mercy 2005. After winning the match, Randy Orton locked The Deadman inside the casket, rolled it up to the top of the entrance area, and set it on fire.

A could of months later, Randy Orton led Team SmackDown to victory in the traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series Elimination match against Team RAW. As the SmackDown locker room was celebrating their win over the rival brand, the all-too-familiar druids came to the ramp and placed a foreboding upright casket. Soon after, lightning struck the casket and set it ablaze as the puzzled Orton looked at it. Moments later, The Undertaker broke down the casket from the inside and stepped outside surrounded by flames.

This is arguably the best return that The Undertaker has ever made. The visual goes perfectly with his “Deadman Walking” character, as he literally marched through fire as he exited the burning casket.
