At WrestleMania XXV, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels clashed in a match that was more than ten years in the making. It turned out to live up to all the hype, with the two men delivering one of the very best bouts in WWE history.

As 2009 came to a close, though, Shawn Michaels demanded a rematch - with one more opportunity, he swore he could end Undertaker's WrestleMania streak. "The Phenom" had no interest, considering HBK already conquered. Michaels continued to push for the bout, though, and when he cost Undertaker the World Heavyweight Title, 'Taker changed his mind - if HBK would put his career on the line.

Michaels agreed, and that set the stage for one of the most anticipated rematches in WrestleMania history. Still, fans were skeptical - Undertaker was reportedly in worse physical shape than he was the previous year, while the "no disqualification" stipulation seemed to set the stage for chicanery.

Instead, what fans got was a perfect follow-up to their 2009 bout. Once again, the two superstars played off their history to deliver an amazing match, and they had even more history the second time around. The emotional end saw Undertaker and Michaels officially knock it out of the part one last time.
