An exhilarating contest!
An exhilarating contest!

Earlier on this list, we spoke about the first time that Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker did battle at WrestleMania 25. It was one of the greatest matches in WWE history, and it was an iconic moment to see two legends of their stature in the ring together.

The Heartbreak Kid came within a hair of ending the Undertaker’s WrestleMania undefeated streak, and the big story heading into WrestleMania 26 was that HBK was obsessed with getting another opportunity to end the streak.

He even cost the Undertaker the World title at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in 2010 as an attempt to get under the skin of The Deadman enough to give him another shot at immortality.

Taker would finally agree to a rematch, but only if Shawn Michaels put his career on the line. As it should have, Michaels and Taker closed the event with another masterpiece.
