Brock Lesnar had just hit then-WWE Champion Seth Rollins with an F5, and the rest seemed inevitable. Lesnar, cheated out of the championship by Rollins and his Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania, was three seconds away from righting the wrong.

Rollins had survived long enough, it was time to end the charade. Lesnar covered Rollins, hooking his leg in what was a fairly unnecessary move. The referee counted, the crowd counted with him; one, gong.

The lights went out, prefaced by the tolling of a bell that can only mean one thing; The Undertaker. Lesnar looked like he had seen a ghost, but he wasn't so lucky. The Deadman was back, and it seemed like he had finally decided to avenge the ending of his WrestleMania streak.

Lesnar was throttled, but managed to thwart the chokeslam by nipping over 'Taker's shoulder and lifting him up ready for an F5, the move that ended the streak.

'Taker was too strong though, and got out, and decided to end this cat and mouse game in the simplest way possible; by punting Lesnar down south.

Okay, the low blow was a strange move, but the return was fantastically done. Even after 25 years, when Undertaker returns out of the darkness minds are lost.
