A stone cold classic WWE aren't currently prepared to revisit when they have the modernised equivalent of the match, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker's first October Hell In A Cell match from 2002 was everything their 2015 vintage simply had no chance of being.

Naturally both suffered from the wear and tear that occurs over thirteen years of respective physical endeavours, but the two combatants that stepped inside the cage for one last blowout a few years ago were grossly different performers to the spirited pro wrestlers that vastly exceeded expectations in the bloodthirsty topline clash.

Undertaker had raised the ire of many in 2002, having mistreated the 'Next Big Thing' in a one-sided battle the prior month that eventually went to a non-finish seemingly to placate 'The Deadman's ego rather than further the programme. However, he silenced critics that worried he wouldn't conclusively put over the company's newest star after taking a monumental for the bulk of this near-30 minute war.

Lesnar zeroed in on 'Taker's broken arm after 'Big Evil' had initially used the cast to bludgeon 'The Beast', then drew blood himself after anhiliating the challenger with the ringside steps. Countering a Tombstone to floor him with the F5, Lesnar symbolically celebrated atop the cage in the aftermath. As another famous combat cage would later become, the Cell was now his yard.
