The Undertaker's 25 Greatest WWE Moments

23. The Undertaker Returns For Randy Orton - Survivor Series 2005

Randy Orton became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion of all time when he won the belt at the age of 24, but his title reign only lasted a month. Still, Orton had a backup plan when it came to becoming a legend - he would be the first man to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania. He hounded the Phenom en route to a clash at WrestleMania XXI, but of course, The Undertaker emerged victorious. Orton continued to pursue The Undertaker after the show of shows, leading to a rematch at SummerSlam, which Orton won with help from his father. At No Mercy, both Ortons defeated Undertaker in a handicap casket match, and afterwards, they set fire to the casket. Even though it was found to be empty when the fire was extinguished, Randy Orton was certain he was well and truly finished with The Undertaker. At Survivor Series, a five-on-five Raw versus Smackdown encounter ended with Randy Orton as the sole survivor. The Smackdown superstars, elated at the victory, hoisted Orton up on their shoulders, but the celebration was interrupted by druids wheeling a flaming casket onto the stage. Orton's face fell as the casket opened and The Undertaker emerged, looking for revenge. He ran to the ring, destroyed everyone in his path, and made it clear that vengeance would be his.
