#3 The one with Shawn and Undertaker - 2007

Enn
A near miss for The Undertaker

2007 saw the renewing of a rivalry from 1998 when Shawn Michaels had to temporarily retire from wrestling due to a back injury suffered in a match with Undertaker. Undertaker entered the fray at #30 and was immediately set upon by Rated RKO (Edge and Randy Orton). Both men left 'Taker more than a little worse for wear, and it took some help from HBK to finally eliminate them both.

This left the two Texans in the ring, laying silently and still to build the tension in the crowd until Undertaker sat bolt upright like the Deadman, and HBK kipped up to continue the match. Endless slugging and fighting took place until Taker was able to 'Chokeslam' Michaels and dodge a second 'Sweet Chin Music' to throw him over the ropes. This rivalry would culminate in two of the greatest WrestleMania matches ever, with 2007's edition of the Rumble stoking that fire.
