An epic encore
An epic encore

Building off not only their 13-year history, but the match of the year they put on at the previous WrestleMania, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels' returned to the ring for an epic encore, with the stakes higher than ever. If Michaels beat 'Taker, the legacy of the WrestleMania undefeated streak would come to an end. If 'Taker defeated Michaels, Mr. WrestleMania himself, Michaels' career would be over.

With all eyes in the WWE Universe on these two titans of pro-wrestling, 'The Heartbreak Kid' and 'The Dead Man' managed to pull off another amazing match - high leg drops on the apron, moonsaults through tables, and even a Tombstone Piledriver on the floor outside the ring, with loudly-cheering fans fans in the palm of both of their hands the entire time.

Just as it looked like Michaels had the band tuned up for Sweet Chin Music, a defiant Undertaker insisted on bringing Michaels to the pit of hell with a Tombstone, only for Michaels to shockingly kick out. After one last defiant slap to the face from Michaels, 'The Phenom' made Michaels' career rest in peace by planting him with the third Tombstone of the match, firmly protecting the streak at 18-0. In a word, this was legendary.
