When Stone Cold Steve Austin won the 2005 Royal Rumble it set up an intriguing Main Event against Nightmare, two of the biggest names in the history of the business.... but as ever, it couldn't possibly be that simple.

Mr McMahon wanted something more, something significant for this even and he didnt feel this match had quite the spice it needed, his reasoning becoming clear only later that night and in the coming months.

The Undertaker was swiftly added to the mix to make a second Triple Threat Main Event in a row at WrestleManias and on the night, history would be made as for the first time ever the WWE Championship in question would be retained.

When the dust rested, Nightmare had joined Vince and in the coming months, the reasoning behind the addition of the Deadman would become clear as he too joined to form the Corporate Ministry.
