5 of The Undertaker's best Hell in a Cell matches

#3 The Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar (WWE Championship) – No Mercy 2002

Brock Lesnar celebrates on top of the cell

During his rookie year in WWE, Brock Lesnar ran through everyone in his path until he came up against the Undertaker. The two men had met the previous month at Unforgiven where the match ended in a no contest.

In the weeks following that match, Lesnar proceeded to attack Undertaker, breaking his hand and forcing him to wrestle in a cast. This animosity led to the Hell In A Cell match.

Undertaker wasted no time attacking Lesnar with the cast, busting him open in the process. This would set the story for the early part of the match, with Lesnar attacking the hand and Undertaker fighting him off however he could.

Paul Heyman managed to distract Undertaker, only to be caught through the cage by his tie and rammed into the mesh. This caused Heyman to bleed but it gave Lesnar enough time to start working on the hand. Eventually, he wrapped a belt around Undertaker's wrist and, with the assistance of Heyman, he beat Undertaker's hand with a chair and removed the cast.

The match started to turn in Lesnar's favour as Undertaker missed a suicide dive, allowing Lesnar to hit him with the ring steps. This caused Undertaker to bleed very heavily, turning the left side of his face completely red. There was a moment where Undertaker hit the Last Ride, and during the pin attempt, blood gushed all over Lesnar's face.

In the end, the Next Big Thing prevailed and continued his rapid rise, but it was Undertaker's effort that was the most impressive. This was a bloody, violent match that had the story to back it up.
