For the next entry on the list we fast forward a year shy of a decade to a card that featured one of the last actual dream matches possible: John Cena vs. The Rock. A main event a year in the making, the past and present franchise players of WWE locked horns in The Rock's hometown of Miami, Florida in the "Once in a Lifetime" match that would be repeated one year later. The Rock returning to the ring was a gigantic coup for WWE who was following up a WrestleMania show featuring The Miz headlining, and the event was a tremendous financial success. The Undertaker and Triple H faced off in the "End of an Era" match - yet another billing that would prove to be empty words - inside the ominous Hell in a Cell structure, and put on a match that is easily one of the top performances in either man's impressive catalog. The two men, along with special referee Shawn Michaels - managed to create a stirring sense of drama and actually convince the fans that the vaunted streak of Taker may be coming to an end. The only other memorable moments of the event were a disappointing bout between CM Punk and Chris Jericho that showed the two elite wrestlers struggled to connect with any real chemistry, and more importantly Daniel Bryan's 18-second loss to Sheamus, which was essentially the genesis of The Yes Movement.
