14 Epic Moments In The Undertaker And Brock Lesnar's 13 Year WWE Rivalry

14. First Face-To-Face And Teaming Up On Raw - 15.7.02

WWE didn't waste time in having Lesnar mix it up with the big boys in Raw main events. Sure, he may have spent his first month or two destroying jobber fodder and his first programme was with the Hardyz, but it wasn't long before he was booked against the Ric Flairs and Steve Austins of the world (well, if WWE had gotten their way he would have face Austin). Although the July 7th 2002 episode of Raw is remembered more for the shocking WWE debut of Eric Bischoff as the show's GM, it is also notable due to the fact that it was the first time The Undertaker and Lesnar ever appeared face-to-face on camera. Before the bout, the two men had a staredown backstage, sewing the seeds for the future feud between them. Lesnar and 'Taker defeated Ric Flair and Rob Van Dam in about ten minutes when the Phenom drilled RVD with a Last Ride. Lesnar dropped his partner with an F5 after the match, just because.
