Eight years after Shawn Michaels and Triple H battled in a WrestleMania main event and two years after Michaels retired, he found himself refereeing the ‘Mania Hell in a Cell Match between The Game and The Undertaker. A climactic spot saw an incensed HBK nail Sweet Chin Music on The Dead Man, only for him to turn around straight into a Pedigree.

In the heat of The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania, in a match hardly anyone thought he would possibly lose, this was a heart-stopping moment. Triple H by no means needed to end the streak, but for his real-life power and reputation of being self-serving, might he? More to the point, could someone really be booked to kick out after absorbing two of the most over finishers in WWE history back to back?

The Undertaker would kick out, but the spot was sensational for everyone involved to repeat it for the actual finish six and a half years later at Super Show-Down.
