The highly anticipated rematch between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker at SummerSlam 2015 was a battle of epic proportions, filled with intense physicality and controversial moments. Dubbed “The Rematch Too Big for WrestleMania,” this encounter was a continuation of their storied rivalry, reignited after Lesnar famously ended The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak at WrestleMania 30.
From the moment the bell rang, the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, buzzed with anticipation. Lesnar charged at The Undertaker with his trademark ferocity, delivering a barrage of German Suplexes that seemed to spell doom for the Deadman. However, The Undertaker, showing his legendary resilience, countered with his signature strikes and old-school tactics, keeping Lesnar on edge.
The match was a grueling display of strength and endurance. Lesnar’s raw power was on full display as he delivered F-5s with devastating impact. Meanwhile, The Undertaker used mind games and his experience to stay in the fight, hitting the Chokeslam and Tombstone Piledriver, which nearly secured him the victory.
The defining moment of the match came when Lesnar trapped The Undertaker in his Kimura Lock submission hold. The Deadman appeared to tap out, but the referee didn’t see it. The timekeeper rang the bell, believing Lesnar had won, but the referee waved it off, declaring the match would continue.
This confusion allowed The Undertaker to recover, delivering a low blow to Lesnar before locking in his Hell’s Gate submission. Lesnar, defiant to the end, responded with a defiant middle finger before succumbing to the hold and passing out. The referee awarded the victory to The Undertaker, but the controversial finish left the WWE Universe divided.
The aftermath saw Lesnar and The Undertaker both claim moral victories, adding another chapter to their storied rivalry. The match was praised for its storytelling, physicality, and drama, solidifying its place as one of the most memorable matches in SummerSlam history.
