10 Most Shocking WWE WrestleMania Role Reversals
2. The Undertaker - WrestleMania 22 & 23
A casket match between The Undertaker and Mark Henry at 2006's WrestleMania 22 wasn't a particular disgrace to either man on the night, but it spoke to the lowered expectations for the character and his vaunted undefeated streak that WWE would so willingly cast little-to-no doubt on the outcome after so many years of success on the 'Show Of Shows'.
Remarkably, it proved the final indifferent Undertaker match for a generation.
P*ssed off with their midcard placement at WrestleMania 23, the Royal Rumble winner and World Champion opponent Batista went hell-for-leather in a show-stealing spectacle. John Cena and Shawn Michaels went on last, but 'The Animal' and 'The Deadman' gobbled up the headlines from that year's supercard.
It begat an incredible tenure for The Undertaker at WrestleMania. After an unreal series against Batista for the rest of 2007, he replicated the run with Edge in 2008, tackled both members of DX in a four year arc and stole WrestleMania 29 with CM Punk.
