Top 15 Brock Lesnar WWE matches

13. The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar, No Mercy 2002

The original Lesnar-Undertaker Hell in a Cell Match was a classic.

Not unlike The Big Show, The Undertaker came up as an opponent for Brock Lesnar a number of times as a fellow talent with the star power and physical size to pose a meaningful challenge to Lesnar. At No Mercy 2002, they blew off an early iteration of their rivalry in their first Hell in a Cell Match.

With Lesnar still a young, eager worker, and The Undertaker around his prime, these two were well set up for success. They also had the fun gimmick of The Dead Man working with a kayfabe broken hand, which at first seemed to give Lesnar an unfair advantage, until it turned out that the heavy cast was a pretty formidable new weapon in The Phenom’s arsenal.

What followed was a straight-ahead smash mouth match without big bumps, but rather operating more in the tradition of steel cage matches as the enclosed battlefields for violent wars. This one lived up to its hype, as far more exciting than its 2015 Cell successor.
