After making us all think he had retired (again) following his second loss at 'Mania, 'Taker went and rose from the dead the next year to face fellow veteran John Cena. This match came about after the 16-time World Champion endlessly pleaded for him to come out of retirement and, after making us wait until WrestleMania itself, 'The Deadman' surprised us all by squashing Cena in under three minutes.

It definitely wasn't the classic we envisioned these two having but that doesn't mean that it wasn't enjoyable - quite the opposite in fact. Undertaker came out of the gate looking strong with a flurry of lefts and rights before hitting all of his signature moves to pick up the win as the audience voiced their approval. It was incredibly well-booked because it was a perfect antidote to that horrendously long snooze-fest with Reigns the previous year.

Furthermore, 'Taker had finally had the hip surgery he previously put off and, as a result, moved around the ring a lot smoother, even hitting his signature flying clothesline - something he hadn't done in a very long time. Moreover, he had also lost a considerable amount of weight and was in the best shape that he had been in in at least six years.

The era of epic long 'Taker classics has come and gone, so this was a more than satisfying way to include him at the marquee event and, despite his limitations, he looked stronger than ever.
