#5 The Undertaker as Kane

The Undertaker is one of WWE’s most tenured and respected Superstars, so many fans were shocked when the Phenom no-showed a handicap match on RAW in 1998, against his brother Kane and Mankind.

Though the odds were not in his favor, the Phenom had plenty going for him, as the winner of the match would receive a shot at Stone Cold’s WWF title.

With the Deadman nowhere in sight, Vince McMahon ordered Kane and Mankind to go after each other, something Foley was very hesitant to do so.

On the other hand, Kane had no problem attacking his tag team partner, viciously teeing off on Foley with a steel chair.

Pinning Mankind after a demonic beatdown, Kane’s hand was raised, but the monstrous victor quickly unmasked himself, revealing it to be The Undertaker in disguise, who was now the number one contender for Austin’s title.

An effective ploy, the Phenom would pull a similar stunt less than a year later, dressing as his not-so-little brother on the eve of WrestleMania 15 to attack Triple H, before returning to the shadows.
