10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2010 Facts
7. It Was Undertaker's Last Successful PPV World Title Defense
That World Heavyweight title reign of Undertaker's would be his final one. "The Phenom" held seven World Championships in WWE between 1991 and 2010 (four WWE, three World Heavyweight), and his final reign ceased at Elimination Chamber three weeks after the Rumble.
That makes Undertaker's win over Mysterio the last successful World title defense that he would make on any pay-per-view. By this time, Undertaker was mainly working stretches leading up to WrestleMania, as well as leading out of SummerSlam, having reduced his schedule. Reigns with the belt were becoming less likely.
After WrestleMania 27 in 2011, it was down to mostly just 'Mania runs, as Undertaker moved closer to age 50. It's hard to believe in some respects that eight years have passed since Undertaker last held a World title.
