Paths that have crossed since the start of the millennium; a UFC run-in sparking wildfire rumours as no other pairing could. Not only did Undertaker help elevate a young Brock Lesnar back at the beginning of the millennium, including a phenomenally bloody Hell In A Cell match in which The Beast retained his WWE title, but over a decade later the two reunited for the most shocking result in WrestleMania history.

Their more recent feud also included The Mystic Gravedigger tapping out for all (except the referee) to see at SummerSlam 2015 before 'Taker avenged that 'Mania defeat. They completed the trilogy inside Hell In A Cell, in a match that pales in comparison to that blood-soaked contest back in 2002, despite the fact that we saw some sneaky anti-PG blood.

Lesnar beating the streak was not something that was necessary to get Brock over as an ass-kicker, but it did provide him with an other-worldly level of heat. It's not 'Taker's fault that WWE did nothing with that but, over the course of more than a decade, he pushed Brock to the moon not once, but twice.
