2. Hell In A Cell (October 25): Deadman Interrupted
Main Event: The Undertaker versus Brock Lesnar What Happened: The Undertaker shocked everybody with the level of punishment he was able to take in a bloody Hell in a Cell match with Brock Lesnar, but in the end, "The Beast" scored the win after F5ing Undertaker on the ring's bare wooden boards. Lesnar left and the Cell rose, and Undertaker slowly got to his feet to a massive ovation from the Los Angeles crowd. The Phenom took in the show of respect until The Wyatt Family interrupted, heading down to the ring to mount an attack. Undertaker tried to fight back, but the four men got the better of him, then carried him out of the arena. Why It Was Great: The Undertaker is a legend who should never be discounted - even at the age of 50, and after many high-profile injuries, he was still able to take Brock Lesnar's best in an inspiring performance. The show of appreciation by the fans was very, very real, as was their outrage when it was interrupted. No one man could feasibly stand against The Wyatt Family, but Undertaker gave us the element of doubt for just a moment. Unfortunately, any would-be help was either beaten earlier in the night (Kane, John Cena) or was explicitly stated to have left the building (Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose), leaving a vulnerable Phenom easy prey.
