It’s the streak versus the title – and something has to give when Undertaker challenges Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 23.

The Phenom won the right to challenge for a world championship with his incredible victory at the 30-man Royal Rumble in January. He could have chosen WWE Champion John Cena or ECW World Champ Bobby Lashley, but with a thunderous chokeslam on the Feb. 5 edition of Raw, he let the world know he wanted World Heavyweight Champion Batista.

The tension between two of SmackDown’s greatest Superstars has only escalated since then, as Batista paid back the Deadman with a sudden spinebuster during a tag team match that pitted them against Cena and Shawn Michaels (who is challenging the WWE champ for his title at WrestleMania) at No Way Out.

With a 14-0 record at WrestleMania, Undertaker’s success at sports-entertainment’s grandest stage is unprecedented. But Batista has insisted he is not intimidated by the Phenom and has vowed to walk out of WrestleMania 23 with his championship. For The Animal, WrestleMania 23 is the latest – and greatest – challenge in an odyssey where he was forced to relinquish the championship and miss last year’s WrestleMania because of injury and recapture the title after a long struggle at the Survivor Series.

Will Batista do what no other WWE Superstar has been able to accomplish at Wrestlemania – victory over the Deadman? Will Undertaker capture his first World Heavyweight Championship in his long and illustrious career? Watch WrestleMania 23, live from Detroit, to see it all unfold for yourself.
