Undertaker's Raw action was limited beyond 2002, as he became a staple of the Smackdown brand. However, the night after WrestleMania 26, Taker made a rare appearance on Raw to pay tribute to Shawn Michaels. This was coming off their epic match at Mania, in which Taker had retired the heartbreak kid. The Raw moment was simple, but effective. Michaels came out to cut a retirement speech, but before he could get any words out, Undertaker's toll hit and the lights went out. The Deadman then appeared on stage, bowing his head and tipping his hat. He then exited, leaving Michaels to go on with the planned segment. It had been an unplanned interruption, a real moment between two wrestlers, and the emotion on Michaels' face was evident. Stuff like that is just so awesome to see.
