the eleventh match of the event was the encounter between the undertaker and kane. after kane made his entrance, he was seen looking toward the entrance ramp saying, "you're not coming back tonight. you're not coming back, i buried you alive." after this, the lights in the arena went out and paul bearer, undertaker's former manager and kane's (storyline) father, was heard screaming "oh yes!". blue light began to fill the arena as bearer, carrying the undertaker's former trademark urn, led a group of druids, all chanting and carrying torches, onto the entrance ramp. as the druids made a formation at the top of the ramp, bearer walked to ringside, turned and said to kane, "my son...you're no son of mine." he then turned back to face the entryway and raised the urn to summon the undertaker. as kane continued to watch in the ring, refusing to believe his brother was back, undertaker entered the arena in his "deadman" persona, wearing a long black trenchcoat and hat, and walked through the druid formation. bearer met him at ringside and directed him to the ring steps, where undertaker raised his arms to bring the arena lights back up. before the match officially got underway, a now visibly shaken and distressed kane began shouting at his brother repeatedly, saying things like "i killed you!", "i buried you alive!", and "you're not real!", while undertaker simply stood staring stoically at kane. eventually, kane decided to see if undertaker was indeed standing in front of him by slowly inching forward with his hand outstretched. undertaker responded by punching kane, knocking him down, and the match got underway. the two continued brawling until kane delivered a chokeslam to undertaker, which he sat up from shortly afterward while kane was taunting paul bearer. the undertaker then retaliated with a chokeslam and tombstone piledriver to win the match and remaining undefeated at wrestlemania with a 12–0 record.
