5 best career on the line matches ever in the WWE

#1 Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker – Wrestlemania 26

Michaels put it all on the line in his match against The Undertaker

If one match went above and beyond when it came to creating a story and delivering a poignant climax, it has to be the Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker match from Wrestlemania 26.

These two had storied matches before, with one match actually seeing Michaels suffering an injury that caused him to step away from the ring for nearly five years.

However, time passed and Michaels recuperated, and thus he was able to have a match against the Undertaker that didn't simply tell the story of the streak being challenged by a career. It was a battle of two men that were as key to the success of the WWE during the Attitude era as anyone else.

The match came on the heels of the previous year's epic battle, which Michaels had lost, becoming simply another number in the Undertaker's Wrestlemania winning streak. This match provided fans with near pinfalls, epic dives and some of the most memorable moments ever seen during the Undertaker's streak.
