8 Most Brutal Hardcore Moments Of WWE's PG Era

4. Hell Is Back

At No Mercy 2002, The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar fought in an extremely bloody Hell in a Cell match. 13 years later, they met inside the big cage once again. While they weren't able to go quite as hard this time around, they certainly gave it the old college try. 

The audience at Hell in a Cell 2015 were treated to one of the most savage examples of the titular match in years. Both participants were busted open nice and early, including from a chair shot to the head that was straight out of 1998. The ring was torn up and finishers were handed out on the exposed wooden boards. Eventually, it was an F5 on the exposed ring that handed The Beast the win in what would be these two titans' final singles encounter. 

Hell in a Cell had become incredibly sterile in the PG era, as evidenced by Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt's match earlier in the night. Lesnar and Taker were able to restore some of the stipulation's mystique with this intense affair... even if the post-match Wyatt Family kidnapping angle was totally unnecessary.
