#2 The Undertaker vs. Batista – WWE SmackDown May 11, 2007

No one had much expectation from a fight between these two heavy-hitters during that time, which was apparent from their low placement during WWE WrestleMania 23. But the two of them stole the show in the mid-card, as well as later in Backlash in April. They fought it out under Last Man Standing rules in a fight that surprised the fans and ended in a tie.

Owing to an injury The Phenom sustained in that match, he needed time off the ring to undergo surgery and recover from it. That meant he was expected to drop the WWE World Heavyweight Title he won at WrestleMania, but then the company announced the Cage Match between him and Batista in May. Most fans assumed it would be a win for The Animal.

But in a twist of events, it was once again declared a draw as both of them landed on the floor at the same time. The fight between them was as good as one could expect from the legends, but what followed in its wake is what made the match iconic. Mark Henry once again took to the ring after the decision and put a battering on The Deadman. Following him was Rated-R Superstar Edge, who cashed in his Money in the Bank Briefcase won against Mr. Kennedy a couple of days ago on RAW. It established Edge as the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion and a Superstar of the brand.
