This came after Taker had a steel cage match with Batista, and was beaten down by Mark Henry.
Fast forward to 2008, Taker wins the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out, and goes on to defeat Edge in the main event at Wrestlemania 24 for the WHC.

Now before some of you flood this thread with the "Batista is shit in the ring" comments, I would like to say I think he's average, nothing more, nothing less. Anyway, who do you think has been the better World Heavyweight champion over the years? The Undertaker or Batista?
I left some of Batista's feuds out because they really weren't worth remembering, or they were really short. I loved his feud with Triple H back in 2005/2006. Those tow put on some great brawl style matches, especially their Hell In A Cell form 2006. His feud with Taker back in 2007 was pretty good also.
The Undertaker's feud with Batista was probably his best as champion in my opinion. These two actually put on some pretty damn good matches. His feud with Edge was presented to us as a BIG time feud, but it never really did it for me. The whole "strip him of the title" storyline was just a bummer for me. His current reign as WHC has been boring at times. His win at Bragging Rights was over shadowed by the start of the Mysterio/Batista feud.
I'm probably going to receive a ton of crap for this, but I'm going with The Undertaker. I know both men had title reigns cut short by injuries, but the streak VS the title is an awesome aspect of Taker's reigns, and it's something Batista can never have.Although Batista did have something Taker didn't have as champion.....that one defining feud that makes a champion a champion, and that feud was with Triple H.
Who's your pick? The Undertaker or Batista?
