12. Beating Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell, 2002

Following his victory at SummerSlam, Brock Lesnar became a full-time wrestler on the SmackDown brand, while Raw introduced the World Heavyweight Championship as it’s top title. After such a memorable start to his WWE career, it was see as critical that Lesnar was paired with another big name challenger to maintain his credibility. That challenger would be none other than The Undertaker, who was enjoying a purple patch in his career during 2002.

The feud between the two leviathans culminated in a match at No Mercy inside Satan’s Structure, the infamous Hell in a Cell. The contest was a brutal affair with both men busted open and spilling blood copiously all over the ring. This was another coming-of-age moment for the young Lesnar as he eclipsed his previous best performance as the match was awarded 4 stars by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Once again, Brock emerged victorious and stood atop the cell holding the championship above his head in an iconic moment. His credibility as champion had not only been maintained, it had been enhanced, and he had just completed the first chapter of a long and illustrious rivalry with his opponent. With his popularity growing, a change of alignment was on the horizon for Lesnar.
