The WrestleMania XXVII encounter between The Undertaker and Triple H was, in one word, Brutal. Even though The Deadman somehow managed to win the match, the wounds of the battle were so bad that he couldn't walk out of Georgia Dome on his feet and had to be stretchered out and disappeared from WWE for the rest of the year. His opponent, on the other hand, walked out on his feet like a proud man.

Reappearing after ten months of inactivity, The Undertaker challenged The Game to another match at Wrestlemania. However, Triple H declined the same, provoking the Undertaker to attack the former's long-time friend Shawn Michaels.

The Undertaker also went on to call Triple H a coward and questioned his insecurities of living in the shadow of Michaels. This finally forced HHH to accept the challenge, who suggested a Hell in a Cell match to finally bring an End to an Era.

With so much history between the three superstars, the in-ring segments during the build-up to the WrestleMania encounter were just pure gold. Adding more intensity and excitement was the fact that Michaels, HHH's best friend and Taker's arch-enemy, announced himself as the special guest referee. The emotions built throughout this storyline were quite visible during the match, as the three legends produced a once in a lifetime match in Miami.
