Cena and Michaels

At the 2007 Royal Rumble PPV, The Undertaker last eliminated Shawn Michaels to bag an opportunity at the World title at WrestleMania 23. At the same PPV, John Cena met Umaga in a Last Man Standing match for the WWE title. Cena managed to topple Umaga to retain his belt. The next night on RAW, Cena and Michaels formed an impromptu tag team and defeated Rated-RKO to win the Tag Team titles. Both Superstars got into a feud over the WWE title on the road to WrestleMania 23.

At WrestleMania 23, Cena defeated Michaels to retain his belt. On the RAW after WrestleMania 23, Michaels turned on his tag team partner, and eliminated him during the 2nd of two Tag Team battle royals, resulting in the duo losing the belts. Cena and Michaels kept feuding for a while, with Edge and Orton being thrown into the mix. The Great Khali came up to the title picture soon after, and destroyed Edge, Randy Orton, and Michaels, thus setting his sights on Cena's title.
