Stone Cold vs. The Rock
WWE Championship
WWE Championship
The legendary rivalry between WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon and Stone Cold had spanned more than a year when WrestleMania XV rolled around. McMahon had tried everything not only to keep Stone Cold from becoming champion, but also to physically and emotionally wreck the Rattlesnake to the point where he would no longer be able to compete in a WWE ring. McMahon had chosen The Rock to be his champion, and it was he and Stone Cold who would battle it out at WrestleMania XV.
Mr. McMahon appointed himself special referee for the main event, but Commissioner Shawn Michaels overruled McMahon, saying a traditional WWE official would do the job.
In the end, Stone Cold obliterated The Rock with a Stunner, and walked away from WrestleMania XV as WWE Champion.
