The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar have wrestled five times on pay-per-view and they'll do so for a sixth time at Hell in a Cell when they enter "Satan's Playground" on Oct. 25 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
4 Possible Outcomes To Lesnar vs. 'Taker
Though they are two of the very best of all-time, they have yet to absolutely steal the show at a pay-per-view. While some of these bouts were solid and others very, very boring, "The Deadman" and "The Beast" have yet to put on a classic.
Before they got their opportunity to do so at Hell in a Cell, here's a ranking of their past encounters.
7 Projected Matches For Hell In A Cell
5) Unforgiven (September 2002)
The first fight between these two legends wasn't one to remember as they duked it out over the WWE Championship. The match was littered with nonsensical outside interference and was also very slow and plodding. What made matters worse was the ending as the WWE booked a double disqualification, leaving the crowd rightfully pissed. There were backstage reports that The Undertaker didn't want to do the job, but the feud continued.
4) No Mercy (October 2003)
Speaking of matches being littered with outside interference, the FBI (Full Blooded Italians) got involved in this one and Vince McMahon factored into its ending because of course he did. This was a biker chain on a pole match, which frankly is about as thrilling as it sounds. The boredom also lasted nearly 25 minutes until McMahon finally attacked 'Taker, leading to a Lesnar victory. Not their best effort.
3) No Mercy (October 2002)
On this night, "The Beast" and "The Deadman" clashed inside Hell in a Cell for the first time. This was Lesnar's only cell match to date, while 'Taker has wrestled in a record 12 of them, owning a 6-6 record. The match was a lot better than the two that bookended it in the rivalry as it was an all out brawl and turned into a blood bath. In the end, Lesnar reversed a Tombstone into an F-5 for the victory and the WWE Championship. He also became 1-0 all-time inside the cell.
2) WrestleMania XXX (April 2013)
As far as most shocking moments go, this one still ranks pretty high. From a match-quality standpoint, it doesn't take the cake. The WWE shocked the world when it booked Lesnar, a part-time Superstar, to become the man to end The Streak of The Undertaker in New Orleans. 'Taker was pinned to the mat for the first time in WrestleMania history and the collective jaws dropped around the arena. It is one of the most surprising moments in wrestling history.
1) SummerSlam (August 2015)
Yes, we know the ending sucked, but as an overall match from bell-to-bell, this was the best of their encounters. Unlike WrestleMania where it seemed like The Undertaker was in fact the dead man, he was game for this fight and it was a back-and-forth battle. The ending with the timekeeper calling for the bell and then the referee calling it off, allowing 'Taker to take advantage was shaky booking at best. Still, the WWE needed to protect Lesnar and have 'Taker even up the series and all-in-all it was a sound match.
