The Undertaker was an established WWE Superstar by WrestleMania 13. He had already had memorable feuds against legendary superstars like Yokozuna, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and Mankind.

The only thing the Deadman was yet to achieve was to headline WrestleMania. He was in a feud with WWE Champion Sycho Sid at the time and challenged him for the world title.

The match lasted 21 minutes, the highest The Undertaker had in his career until then. After some entertaining in-ring action with both superstars giving it their all, The Phenom knocked Sid out with his devastating Tombstone Piledriver and won his second WWE Championship.

The moment was truly epic. The streak extended to 6-0 and The Phenom won the WWE Championship for a second time, cementing his stature at the Showcase of the Immortals.

#4 WrestleMania 20 - The Undertaker conquers his half-brother Kane

When one talks about historic WWE rivalries, The Undertaker and Kane have to be mentioned.

At WrestleMania 20, a returning Deadman with his manager Paul Bearer was out for revenge against his half-brother who had buried him alive the previous year.

The Phenom put Kane to rest with a couple of Chokeslams and a Tombstone Piledriver, much to the delight of the audience at Madison Square Garden. His WrestleMania streak soared to 12-0 further establishing him as the biggest force to be reckoned with.

#3 WrestleMania 26 - The Undertaker's streak lives on as Shawn Michaels' career ends

The Streak vs. Career Match is remembered as one of the best bouts in WrestleMania history.

Shawn Michaels, after losing the first showdown at WrestleMania 25, had put his career on the line against The Undertaker's streak.

It was a historic contest. HBK delivered the Sweet Chin Music on a couple of occasions only for The Undertaker to rise each time.

The Deadman's attempts to pin Michaels failed too. Finally, he managed to put The Show Stopper away with a Tombstone Piledriver. HBK's legendary career came to an end while 'Taker's streak extended to 18-0.

#2 WrestleMania 28 - The Undertaker prevails in the 'End of an Era' Match

Few Undertaker matches in Mania history have created intrigue like the 'End of an Era' Hell in a Cell Match at WrestleMania 28.

The Phenom was up against one of his arch nemesis Triple H, whom he had already beaten the previous year at WrestleMania 27. Shawn Michaels served as the special guest referee for this bout.

The contest was one for the ages, with both superstars giving it their all. The Game used his favorite weapon, the sledgehammer, to put The Undertaker down.

But The Deadman's didn't stay down. Despite being knocked out by the sledgehammer, he rose and ended the match by making Triple H tap to his signature submission move, Hell's Gate.

After the match all three superstars broke character and embraced each-other as a sign of respect, truly signifying an end of an era. Speaking of respect, the streak earned loads of it as it stood at 20-0 at the end of this bout.

#1 WrestleMania 36 - The streak ends on a high

The Boneyard Match at WrestleMania 36 was the last time The Undertaker performed in the WWE.

The Phenom wanted to leave the squared circle on a high, and he achieved exactly that as he destroyed AJ Styles, although not in the ring. The match was a fine piece of cinematic creation as The Deadman fought off AJ Styles' ex-partners Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, before burying The Phenonmenal One.

After the match, Taker rode away in the night sky, signifying the end of his historic career.

The 25-2 streak will forever remain etched in the memory of the WWE Universe.
