#4 Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker 'laugh-off'

Epic or hilarious?

Speaking of the Undertaker, another one of his unexpected returns came during a rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins over the WWE Championship back in 2015. In the closing moments of their match, Undertaker emerged from the darkness to cost Lesnar his opportunity at becoming the champion. The moment had a lot of history behind it, with Lesnar being the first man to defeat The Phenom at Wrestlemania after 21 times of asking.

The next night on RAW, the two started a rivalry so intense that they had to be kept apart from each other by the entire roster. Fans were genuinely split down the middle, still upset at what went down at Mania 30, but wanting to see Lesnar continue his path of destruction.

The stage was set for Summerslam 2015. The pair were no doubt going to main event the show despite a John Cena Vs. Seth Rollins match over the main title also being on the card. The match itself was pretty solid and greatly surpassed the disappointing Wrestlemania match in which Taker suffered a concussion early on. The ending was fraught with controversy, however, and ended with a bit of a whimper considering the amount of energy that had been put into the feud going into it.

There was one moment, however, that will forever remain in the memories of WWE fans. As the two men were laying on their backs in the middle of the ring, Brock sat up in a way reminiscent of what Undertaker normally does following a big move from his opponent, and started laughing at the Deadman. Taker then followed suit and stared into the eyes of the Beast and began a laugh of his own.

It's difficult to work out how one felt when it happened. On the one hand, it was a moment filled with emotion and drama, but it was also really quite silly and over the top. It's almost as if the pair just strayed too far over the line and turned the epic into the hilarious. The moment led to many comical memes throughout the rest of the year and pretty much summed up our feelings towards Summerslam 2015 in general. We appreciated the effort, but the execution wasn't quite what it needed to be.
