7. Brock Lesnar Vs. The Undertaker - WWE Hell In A Cell 2015
The Undertaker's 21-0 winning streak at Wrestlemania was the Holy Grail of wrestling. When Brock Lesnar broke it at Wrestlemania 30, it seems only logical that it would kick off one of the greatest feuds in the Deadman's career. Lesnar's streak-breaking victory over the Undertaker is undoubtedly one of the most shocking in the history of WWE. No-one really expected a part-time superstar being the one chosen to beat Undertaker at Wrestlemania. It would be over a year later before the two crossed paths again, with Undertaker's surprise return at Battleground 2015 to cost Lesnar a match for the WWE Championship against Seth Rollins. Their rematch at Summerslam ended in controversy. The timekeeper wrongly rang the bell as Lesnar had Undertaker in a kimura lock, so the match was restarted and after a low blow, 'Taker put Lesnar in the Hell's Gate submission hold until he passed out. The rubber match was set in WWE's most intimidating environment, Hell in a Cell. Both men had previous in the cell, and both are known for going to any length necessary to win. The match lived up to the billing - it was savage. The two duked it out in the opening stages, and it wasn't long before the cage became a dangerous weapon. The pair brought out a steel chair and the ring steps to liven up the bout though things got really tasty when Lesnar exposed the wooden ring boards by tearing up the ring mat. A chokeslam and tombstone later, Lesnar looked like toast. The Beast doesn't give up that easily, fighting back with a low blow of his own to set up an F5 on those exposed boards. Both Lesnar and Undertaker are known for their physicality, but even they went above and beyond all expectations with this meeting.
