One of four phenomenal pay-per-view singles matches between the two in 2007, the Undertaker/Batista Last Man Standing was an admirable follow-up to their heart-stopping WrestleMania 23 'Title vs Streak' collision.

Batista has commented in multiple interviews how that match was as much a protest of their placement low down on the card as it was an athletic pursuit, but lessons were learned a month later when the pair were promoted to co-main event status alongside a Monday Night Raw title match that would at least send the fans home with a conclusive finish.

Whilst that was the only thing this rematch lacked, the contest was bursting with drama and physicality from the two behemoths.

Unable to subdue one another for the requisite ten count, the two gambled on uncharacteristic high spots in an effort to claim victory. Driving The Undertaker into the barricade on the arena floor, Batista drew the ire of 'The Deadman', who nailed a spectacular running legdrop on 'The Animal' through the announce table for a nail-biting nine.

Battered and bloodied, the pair fought up the ramp to conclude the war. Whiffing on a Tombstone attempt, Batista sensationally speared Undertaker off the ramp, knocking both out for a unusually dramatic draw.
