5. The Undertaker Returns To WWE WrestleMania

The end of WWE WrestleMania 40 is one of the all-time great pro wrestling moments. As the whole world united in wanting Cody Rhodes to fulfill his family destiny, end the never-ending reign of Roman Reigns, and lift the World Championship that his father so famously never got the chance to, the action came thick and fast.

During a match that incorporated Bloodline Rules, John Cena, Solo Sikoa, Seth Rollins, and The Rock all played their part in setting up the spectacular climax. After all of the run-ins and beatdowns, it seemed as though 'The Final Boss' was set to get his way again, with Rhodes down and out, and The Rock standing tall. That was until that infamous gong hit, and The Undertaker wrote another chapter in his WrestleMania story.

The roar from the Philadelphia crowd was sensational, largely because it made absolutely no sense for 'Taker to be there. That did not matter one bit, as 'The Deadman' hoisted The Rock high into the night sky, delivering a thunderous chokeslam, and paving the way for Cody Rhodes to cement one of the best moments in WWE history.
