1. A Trip To Suplex City
The ending of the Brock Lesnar versus Undertaker match definitely detracted from the overall evaluation of the main event, but you cant deny that up until that point, the two warriors put on a true heavyweight fight. Lesnar delivered a series of suplexes four Germans and a belly-to-belly three F-5s and actually got Taker to tap out. Undertaker hit all his signature spots and looked better than hes looked in the ring in some time, maybe since WrestleMania XXIX against CM Punk. But the highlight of the match was the interplay between Brock and Taker, with Brock yelling Suplex City, b**ch! at his opponent. When Lesnar was busted open, he yelled at UT, Ill kill you, you son of a b**ch! to which Taker replied, Youre gonna have to! before chokeslamming him. After Lesnar kicked out a Tombstone Piledriver, he sat up laughing, followed by Taker, who mock-laughed at him before the started punching the hell out of each other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eR9-mk_1BM Even Lesnars defiant gesture while trapped in Hells Gate helped tell the tale of hatred between the two. As far as a main event goes, the bulk of the match really delivered a big fight feel for fans. But that ending
