And nearing WrestleMania, Batista one of Monday Night Raws newest superstars was hungry for gold. The Rock was a champion of jokes, and obscene material, who normally got away with his jokes, took one to far. He taped the chairman of AXW(Then the CUW) Vince Mchmahon to a flag pole in his underwear. The Chairman was angry about this, and felt the only right thing to do was to vacate the title from The Rock.

The Rock was not happy about this, and on his birthday Celebration, he invited Vince to the ring. While in the ring, The Rock did what nobody could of thought, he lit Vinces pants on fire! He then proceeded to put the fire out with Birthday "Cake". The Cake, turning out to be baked with Cow Manouer, Angered the Chairman so much, that he said The Rocks birthday present, was a steel cage match vs Batista, at WrestleMania One, for the Title.

The match began and both men fought with intensity and anger. They threw each other into the cage walls like they were Rag Dolls. With each attempt to escape, it proved nothing but failure. Until one opening moment for The Rock came, Batista was climbing the cage, and as he made it to the top, the Rock caught up with him, and with great skill and balance, gave Batista the Rock Bottom from the top of the Cage! The impact left both men a great deal away from each other. The Rock though, happened to be very lucky with the impact though, he managed to land near the cage door. And as soon as he was able to at least crawl, he signaled for the Referre to open the cage door, where The Rock promptly crawled out of the cage to Regain the WWE Championship.
