Ranking Randy Orton’s 10 greatest WrestleMania matches

#2 The Undertaker – WrestleMania 21

Orton gained Taker's respect

It’s hard not to have a great match with The Deadman at WrestleMania, and back in 2005, Orton was able to step up to the plate with one of his best performances to date. Randy went toe to toe with one of the best in the business as The Legend Killer attempted to add yet another name to his growing list of victims.

The two men had great chemistry together, and we genuinely thought the streak was over when Orton countered Taker’s chokeslam into an RKO. They had us believing that the rookie could do the same thing to The Phenom that he did to Chris Benoit back at SummerSlam, and that’s the best kind of storytelling you can hope for in this business.
