#4 WWE SummerSlam 2015

Undertaker's true redemption.

The first one to last four hours in length, SummerSlam 2015 saw WWE make an active attempt in making the August pay-per-view a bigger deal going forward. And to an extent, they succeeded. While pretty solid, it would have been much more fondly remembered if there wasn't a historically significant TakeOver event one night earlier and if the two biggest matches actually had decent finishes.

SummerSlam was headlined by Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker, in a rematch of their shocking showdown at WrestleMania 30. The match was a vast improvement from their Streak-ending clash in New Orleans. However, it was let down by a confusing finish which saw the bell being rung despite the referee not calling for it, as well as Undertaker's uncharacteristic heelish tactics. At least he avenged the end of the Streak.

He low-blowed The Beast and made him pass out in the Hell's Gate. One of the highlights of the match was the image of Lesnar and Undertaker laughing in each other's faces, probably about Jon Stewart's involvement in the title-for-title match between Seth Rollins and John Cena.

The former Daily Show host helped Rollins win the United States Championship from Cena while retaining his WWE Title, in an ill-advised ending. Regardless, the preceding 20 minutes of action were still excellent. Several other matches and moments caught the eye at the first SummerSlam to take place at the Barclays Center.

Randy Orton vs. Sheamus and Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro were both solid bouts, while Stephen Amell from the television show Arrow had a successful outing alongside Neville against Stardust and King Barrett. SummerSlam 2015 also sparked the beginning of The New Day's historic 483-day Tag Team Championship reign.
