10 Best WWE Ruthless Aggression Era Matches
1. Brock Lesnar Vs. Undertaker - HIAC - No Mercy 2002
The greatest performance of the American Badass incarnation of The Undertaker. The match that made Brock Lesnar. The best Hell in a Cell in WWE history. Culminating the feud between the Next Big Thing and the Phenom, this battle of epic proportions contains all the drama of a five-star classic.
Back in the summer of 2002, Brock was red hot. He had still not been beaten by pinball or submission, he had been crowned the King of the Ring, and he had gone on to become the youngest WWE champion in history when he beat The Rock at that year’s SummerSlam.
Once he had been snatched by Stephanie McMahon to become an exclusive performer to SmackDown (before that, the WWE Undisputed Champion was allowed on both Raw and SmackDown), Brock stormed into a feud with the now babyface Deadman.
They had had a rough outing at that Unforgiven which had a sloppy ending, but luckily this stipulation saved their feud and proved just how compatible these two monsters were.
The Undertaker did everything in his power to illustrate why Brock was a big deal, and Brock didn’t succumb to the pressure of such a career-defining match.
