Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker - WrestleMania 26
- 14 years ago
What could be the rematch to one of the greatest matches off all time, once more Shawn Michaels will go after The Undertaker's undefeated Wrestlemania streak of 17-0, at Wrestlemania 26, in Glendale, Arizona.
At WrestleMania 25, Shawn Michaels was unable to defeat Undertaker and ending his undefeated streak. So when the match won the 2009 Slammy Award for Match of the Year, HBK told in his acceptance speech that he could STILL defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania and challenged him to a rematch. A month later, The Undertaker, then the World Heavyweight Champion, made his reply and refused a rematch.
A few weeks later, Undertaker changed his mind and accepted the rematch but with one condition, that if Michaels loses, he would have to retire. Michaels accepted, noting that if he can't end the streak, there's no reason why his career should continue. 2 weeks later, Michaels and The Undertaker agreed on another additional stipulation, that the match will have no DQ's and no count-outs.
