Steve Austin shakes hands with Vince McMahon, having shockingly aligned with his arch-nemesis to defeat The Rock in the main event of WrestleMania X-Seven.

Another match regarded as among the best in WrestleMania history, the second instalment in The Rock and Steve Austin's trilogy also featured one of the most shocking endings - one which would have major ramifications in terms of the Attitude Era.

More specifically, Stone Cold's unthinkable alliance with Vince McMahon brought a de facto end to one of the most iconic, enthralling periods of wrestling history. Austin's heel turn (and the recent death of WCW) ushered in a new era, one in which nothing felt quite the same. Still, the moment is looked back upon very fondly, as the match was a truly brilliant one.
