Safe to say that Mr. WrestleMania looks a lot more spritely here than he did bloodied and handcuffed one year earlier. For John Cena though, it was more of the same unfortunately.
Michaels had just laid Big Match John out with a Sweet Chin Music moments before this, costing the ill-fitting World Tag Team Champions their match in a non-title bout against Batista and The Undertaker.
HBK's pursuit of another WWE Championship run would see the two clash in the main event at WrestleMania 23, and The Showstopper had all the momentum on his side heading into it.
