#4 Brock Lesnar vs The Undertaker (Hell in a Cell 2015)

This was probably the most non-PG Cell match in the PG Era.
This was probably the most non-PG Cell match in the PG Era.

You may remember that Brock Lesnar faced The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell at No Mercy 2002, a match that remains one of the greatest of its kind. Lesnar definitively won that bout, continuing his ascent to become the Beast of WWE.

Thirteen years later, the two legends waged war once more inside Satan's structure. This would end all their issues, from the 2002 and 2003 feuds to the Streak ending in 2014, to the latest installment at SummerSlam 2015. Thirteen years later, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker reminded everyone who the real masters were. Their story was the most compelling thing during the latter half of 2015, and the Cell provided an extremely logical conclusion to it.

We got a lot of hard-hitting action between the two heavyweights, with both of them using fists, weapons and the Cell to try and decimate each other. There was a lot of bleeding and something that resembled a chair shot to 'Taker's head. It was a wild match. While not as good as their mega-battle in 2002, both the Beast and the Phenom were at their brutal best here.

These two always bring out the best in each other, except if one of them gets a concussion mid-match. We also saw a really unique and creative finish to this fight, as Lesnar ripped the ring cover apart and exposed the ring floor. The finish was cool and innovative.

After surviving a Tombstone Piledriver on the exposed floor, Lesnar low-blowed the Deadman and F-5ed him to put him away, and deliver poetic justice. It was one last epic in a war filled with a bunch of them, one of the most storied rivalries in the history of the WWE; one that they pretty much booked perfectly.

After the match, like at the previous year, Bray Wyatt made his presence felt. This time, he was joined by his family. Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman proceeded to batter the living hell out of the wounded Undertaker.

This was an extremely intriguing end to the pay-per-view while being a seamless transition from one feud to another for the Deadman. This would have been the perfect last ride inside the Cell for 'Taker, if only we did not get him and Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 32.
