An irate Kane would then await The Undertaker to come face him, but the ‘Deadman’ had another surprise. The gong hit again, and the lights turned purple as Kane looked around in disbelief. In an unexpected turn of events, The Undertaker came through the ring and pulled Kane down straight to hell!
Career vs Streak
Taker and HBK had a terrific match at WrestleMania 25, but it wasn’t the end of the story. Michaels cost The Undertaker his World Heavyweight Championship at Elimination Chamber 2010. This led to a Streak vs Career match at WrestleMania XXVI that The Undertaker won, retiring Shawn Michaels.
This match had everything you expect from a wrestling match. It had the action; it had the drama, and the flow of the match ensured that it just flew by. The outpouring of emotions in this match and the crazy action undoubtedly makes this match one of the greatest moments of both men’s careers.
The end of an era
After Taker retired Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania XXVI, his best friend Triple H came out and challenged The Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania XXVII. Their match didn’t have a strong build to it,but was definitely the Match of the Night that day.
This wasn’t the end though as both men faced off in a Hell In A Cell match at WrestleMania XXVIII. The match was an elite level of greatness from the two legends.
Michaels wasn’t even in the match, but his addition as a referee added a lot to the contest. The end was even more emotional as all three WWE Legends stood up at the WrestleMania entrance and hugged each other.
The Undertaker signs contract in a unique way
On an episode of Raw leading to WrestleMania, Paul Heyman challenged The Undertaker to sign a contract to face his client, Brock Lesnar, at WrestleMania XXX. The Undertaker made his triumphant return. Lesnar held open the contract page as Heyman advised Taker to sign the contract.
Being the savage he is, The Undertaker picked the pen and pierced it right through Brock Lesnar’s hand. Lesnar screamed in pain as The Undertaker pierced the pen. The ‘Deadman’ then chokeslammed ‘The Beast Incarnate’ through the table, thus confirming their match.
