The Undertaker's 25 Greatest WWE Moments

1. The Undertaker Wins The World Heavyweight Championship In WrestleMania's Main Event - WrestleMania XXIV

Edge grew into his role as the ultimate opportunist in 2007 at the expense of The Undertaker - he used a Money in the Bank briefcase to rob the Phenom of the World Heavyweight Championship in May, then interfered to prevent 'Taker from capturing the belt from Batista at the Survivor Series. By the time 2008 rolled around, Edge was champion and The Undertaker was out for revenge. The Undertaker wasn't able to pick up back to back Royal Rumble victories, but an Elimination Chamber win at No Way Out made him the number one contender to Edge's belt. "The Rated R Superstar" used his antics and allies to try and take Undertaker out prior to the event, but he wasn't able to break the Phenom, and when WrestleMania came, the two clashed in the main event. Edge proved to be a match for The Undertaker, hitting him with a television camera and nearly pinning him with a Spear, but the Phenom could not be overcome. When Edge attempted another Spear, The Undertaker caught him in the Hell's Gate submission hold, forcing him to tap out in front of 70,000 fans. It wasn't the first time Undertaker had claimed gold in the main event of WrestleMania, but it was the grandest win - and greatest moment - of his career.
