5 times Undertaker teamed up with his rivals

#2 Shawn Michaels

The road to WrestleMania's 25th Anniversary saw Shawn Michaels challenge The Undertaker to a match at The Grandest Stage Of Them All. The reasoning behind Michaels' challenge was the fact that Undertaker had never defeated him in a singles match. This included the first-ever Hell in a Cell match in 1997, which Michaels won after interference from a debuting Kane.

On an edition of Raw, 20 days before 'Mania, Taker teamed up with Shawn Michaels to take on the villainous duo of Vladimir Kozlov and JBL. The ending saw Michaels tagging himself in and stealing a quick pin on JBL. This angered The Undertaker to no end and he chased Michaels up the ramp. Michaels took advantage of an unsuspecting Taker and hit him with the Sweet Chin Music. Unfortunately for him, The Deadman won the 'Mania bout, and did the same a year ago, leading to Michaels' retirement.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
