The Undertaker's 20 Best Matches Ever

It's been said that CM Punk gave The Undertaker his last truly great WrestleMania match. That's hard to disagree with, because there was nothing about matches against Brock Lesnar ('Mania XXX), Bray Wyatt (31), Shane McMahon (32), or Roman Reigns (33) that bettered the 2013 effort between 'Taker and Punk.

Curiously enough, this will also go down in history as Punk's final 'Mania match before his departure from WWE in 2014 and subsequent tirade against the company which made him famous. No, he didn't get to headline WWE's biggest annual show, but facing Undertaker in recent years has been a money spot. Punk was whinging for the sake of it there.

Going in, it was hard to see Punk ending the celebrated streak. That changed around the 17/18 minute mark of the match though, because Punk came agonisingly close on several occasions. If nothing else satisfied him about the final year of his WWE run, at least Punk helped 'Taker to one of his best matches ever.
