The final two men in the 2007 Royal Rumble are possibly the two greatest Superstars in WWE history: The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels. A short back and forth between the two ended with The Undertaker eliminating Michaels to win the whole thing. At 'Mania, The Deadman defeated Batista to win the World title.

Michaels, despite losing the match, went on to meet John Cena for the WWE title in the final match of the night. The 'Heart Break Kid' didn't win the title though, as Cena left the arena with the WWE Championship still on his shoulders.
