6. A Young Brock Lesnar Destroys The Dead Man
This Sunday might be the final battle between The Beast and The Deadman but longtime fans wont forget the first battle of these two legends in the cell back in 2002 at No Mercy. After a no contest the month before, the young rookie, Brock was going up against the veteran of the yard for the WWE Championship inside Hell In A Cell. Lesnar was the youngest World Champion in company history at that point and after defeating Hogan and Rock, Undertaker was the last stumbling block for the Lesnar character to prove that he was there to stay. With a great build up to the match and some classic Paul Heyman promos, the Arkansas crowd were ready to watch these guys beat the crap out of each other. The match was a brutal bloodbath with Brock showing his freakish athleticism and Taker showing he could still go. The Next Big Thing F5ed his way to retain his title and cemented himself as a main eventer in the company and climbed the cage for the iconic image of a young bloodied beast standing tall with the WWE Title in hand.
