The Undertaker defeated Triple H in a Hell in a Cell match at WWE WrestleMania 28. The match, which was billed as “The End of an Era”, was refereed by a close friend of both Superstars, Shawn Michaels.

Heading into the match, The Undertaker boasted a record of 19 wins and no losses at WrestleMania. He defeated Triple H one year earlier at WrestleMania 27, while he emerged victorious against Michaels at back-to-back WrestleManias prior to that.

Following the hard-fought match, all three WWE veterans stood at the top of the WrestleMania stage and looked out at the WWE Universe. The moment has gone down as one of the most iconic images in WrestleMania history.

Speaking in a Facebook Live interview in 2017, Triple H revealed that he has the picture on his office wall. He also gave Michaels and The Undertaker a plaque of that image.

“There was a moment with the three of us standing on stage together after that match was over and that was very real to us and it’s still very meaningful. I have that picture in my office and I made a plaque with all… for all three of us that has that picture and memorabilia from the match. It was very important and very meaningful to all three of us.” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]

Six-and-a-half years after that match, Shawn Michaels came out of retirement at WWE Crown Jewel 2018. The Heartbreak Kid teamed with Triple H to defeat The Undertaker and Kane in a battle between D-Generation X and The Brothers of Destruction.
