After being buried alive, The Undertaker returned at the Survivor Series again pitting him against Mankind, but with a unique stipulation; hanging above the ring was Paul Bearer, enclosed in a steel cage.
In the following year, The Undertaker would either hold the WWF Championship or be in contention for it while Foley would gradually bring out his "Three Faces of Foley": Mankind, Dude Love, and his old gimmick from World Championship Wrestling & Extreme Championship Wrestling, Cactus Jack.
