The Undertaker was once again fighting for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania. This time it was against the Rated-R Superstar, Edge.

The early portion of the match was slow-paced, and both superstars countered the signature maneuvers of each other.

Near the end, Edge hit Undertaker with a television camera while the referee was knocked down. When he proceeded to deliver a Tombstone Piledriver on the Undertaker, the latter countered it into his own version and successfully delivered it to Edge for a two-count.

The Edgeheads (Hawkins and Ryder) came to Edge’s aid, but the Undertaker took them out. The duo provided enough distraction for Edge to hit a spear on Undertaker, but the ultimate opportunist was unable to make it a pin attempt.

When Edge delivered another spear to the Undertaker, the latter caught him in his Hell’s Gate submission hold and forced Edge to tap out to become the new World Heavyweight Champion and extend his WrestleMania winning streak to 16–0.

This match is truly underrated for the value of good wrestling, story-telling, and how much it legitimized Edge’s career as a top-tier main eventer.
