'The Phenom's fourth reign as champion started in similar fashion to his first. Defeating Hulk Hogan at Judgment Day 2002 to win the gold, 'Taker became what was then-known as the WWE Undisputed Champion. However, that was the only similarity between the two championship stints as this was another very different reign for the legend.

In the heart of his heel American Badass persona - a.k.a. Big Evil - he embarked on a reign that saw him bully, abuse and batter his way through anyone that dared to get in his way. This not only paved the way for some great promos - in which he sang his own praises and demanded respect - it also allowed for some great feuds with The Rock, Triple H and, most unexpected of all, Jeff Hardy.

Not all of his in-ring work here was his best, but the Ladder Match with Hardy and the Triple Threat Match with The Rock and Kurt Angle (in which he lost the gold when Angle was pinned) were among the greatest he ever had during his American Badass years.
