Heading into WrestleMania 22, foes-turned-friends-turned-foes-turned-friends Kane and The Big Show were actually five months into a reign as Raw's World Tag Team Champions. They opened the show of shows with a title defense against Carlito and Chris Masters.

Though many expected the younger superstars to pick up the victory, it wasn't to be. The teams had an unremarkable but inoffensive match that saw the giants hold the upper hand for nearly the entirety of the contest. In the end, Kane Chokeslammed Carlito for the win, ensuring that he and Show left WrestleMania with the titles.

There are two interesting addenda to what was otherwise a forgettable match - the first is that this marked the first ever WrestleMania win for The Big Show, who prior to the bout had managed to rack up a 0-7 record at the show of shows. The other is that, despite their win, the celebration was short-lived.

The very next evening on Raw, they lost the belts to The Spirit Squad.
