20 Greatest Losing Performances At WrestleMania

17. Batista vs. The Undertaker €“ WrestleMania 23

Leading up to his defense of the World Heavyweight Championship against The Undertaker at WrestleMania 23, Batista told interviewers that the decision makers €œwould be sorry they didn€™t put our match on last.€ It was a bold claim, but The Animal and The Phenom went out in front of 80,000 fans and stole the show. Not only was Batista trying to preserve his title, but he was also looking to end The Streak. Batista threw the kitchen sink at The Dead Man, hitting two Batista Bombs and putting him through an announce table with a power slam. It just takes more than that to beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania. JBL told fans to expect a match that was €œmonkey butt ugly€ before the opening bell, but the end result was anything but.
