John Cena and Shawn Michaels were two of the biggest stars in WWE back in 2007, but their storyline together became interesting following The Royal Rumble when he was able to defeat Rated-RKO alongside WWE Champion John Cena to win the Tag Team Championships.

Interestingly, Michaels was then able to defeat Edge and Randy Orton in a triple threat match a few weeks later to become the number one contender to Cena's WWE Championship, a match that later took place at WrestleMania 23 despite the fact that the duo were still Tag Team Champions at the time.

Ahead of the show, there was a fantastic storyline that included SmackDown's WrestleMania main event of Batista and The Undertaker up against Shawn Michaels and John Cena, which built the tension heading into WWE's biggest event of the year.

When Michaels was unable to defeat The leader of The CeNation to win the WWE Championship at WrestleMania he went on to cost the duo their titles when he threw Cena out of a battle royal for the Tag Team Championships and in turn helped The Hardy's to become Champions the following night on Raw.
