Umaga took part in one of the most iconic matches in WWE history

Over the years, there have been several historic matches in WWE. And the “Battle of the Billionaires” in 2007, involving Vince McMahon and Donald Trump, is one such match.

Umaga and Bobby Lashley represented Vince McMahon and Donald Trump respectively in the “Battle of the Billionaires” hair vs hair match at WrestleMania 23.

Stone Cold Steve Austin was the referee for this match. But after getting attacked by Umaga during the match, Shane McMahon replaced him.

But later, Austin came back and took his place as the referee. After getting inside the ring, the Texas Rattlesnake hit Vince McMahon’s representative with a stunner.

Soon after that, Bobby Lashley took this opportunity and hit Umaga with a spear for the win. As Umaga lost, Bobby Lashley and Donald Trump shaved Vince McMahon’s head bald.

Not only did Umaga suffer the defeat that night, but Vince McMahon also got humiliated on that night.
