An incredible payoff to the epic cliffhanger from last years event, Undertaker and Triple H's match at this show topped their No Hold's Barred encounter by adding the extra spice of Shawn Michaels and Hell in a Cell.

Undertaker hadn't been since for nearly a full year by the time February 2012 had rolled around. Upon his appearance, he challenged the Game to a rematch at WrestleMania, which he initially refused. Then, like a jilted ex, the Deadman did everything to get Hunter's attention like shaving his hair and comparing him to his best mate. Triple H took the bait but only under the proviso that the bout take place inside the Cell.

The match itself lived up to all expectations, with all three men involved pulling out all the stops either break the Streak, keep it alive, or just desperately trying to keep control. Taker, Hunter and guest referee Michaels timed every moment to perfection, including a nail-biting false finish.

This match more than any other proves that Triple H was a master story teller in the ring, showing off his aggressive side coupled with desperation to put the Deadman away, ready to go to extreme lengths for the victory. Then swapping roles in being the superstar dominated by Undertaker, and being ready to have the match ended with his shoulders to the mat.

The post match symbolism showed that these three men were some of the best to ever lace up. That alone was worth the ticket price.
