The Undertaker was an immensely versatile wrestler. Not only has he excelled in the normal matches, but he also started the trend of ‘Hell in a Cell,’ ‘Buried Alive,’ and Casket matches. His last match in WWE was a cinematic Boneyard match.

However, some may forget about The Phenom‘s excellence in TLC matches. In one of his most underrated rivalries, he and Batista faced off in a chair match for the World Heavyweight Championship at TLC 2009.

In 2009, after Survivor Series, Batista decided to pursue the title. However, Kane had the same intention in mind. Hence there was a qualification match that Batista won after using a chair to Kane’s knees.

Ironically, the title match between Taker and Batista also became a chair match.

Batista tried to use the chair early in the match, but Undertaker did not let that happen. The two men brawled inside and outside the ring. Finally, Batista slammed the Deadman into the barricade and used the chairs.

After multiple chair shots, Undertaker executed a leg drop on Batista who was hung on the apron. After recovering, Batista executed a superplex and tried for a Batista Bomb, but Undertaker countered that into a body drop onto a chair.

Batista vs The Undertaker restarted after the decision was made

As the men brawled back and forth, they executed some of their signature moves. The Undertaker executed Hell’s Gate and Old School while Batista hit him with a spear, a spine buster (on a chair).

After a while, Batista threw Undertaker into the referee. As the referee was recovering, Batista hit Taker with a low blow and followed it with a chair shot to the head. Batista got the pin and won the match.

However, SmackDown’s General Manager, Theodore Long, came out. He did not want the title match to end on such a “low, cheap and despicable act.” He restarted the match.

Batista hurried with a steel chair to Taker, but he countered with his own steel chair shot and a tombstone to win the match and retain his title. The two men never crossed paths again.
