The 10 Best Rivalries in WWE Summerslam History
8. Undertaker vs Brock Lesnar
Moments before it looked like Brock Lesnar would reclaim his WWE Championship from Seth Rollins at Battleground 2015, the unthinkable happened: the lights went out. When they came back up, The Undertaker had appeared, and he had his sights set on The 1 in 21-1.
Sure, some could argue that he was gunning for revenge over a year too late, and Taker probably could have taken out his frustrations months prior at WrestleMania 31, such plot holes could be forgiven if only for the way that the storyline came about.
Perhaps the most memorable thing about this storyline was that Taker essentially worked as a heel, which has been a rarity for his career. Equipped with low blows galore in his arsenal, a desperate Undertaker was itching to redeem himself for his loss at WrestleMania 30.
Not only was this a redemption story for The Deadman, it was an opportunity at redemption for both men for having what many deemed to be a disappointing match with such a historic outcome the year prior. They certainly delivered during their PPV matches in the coming months, but their most memorable match by far was their match at SummerSlam, especially when Taker laughed in the face of his Conquerer as he sat up.
