SummerSlam 2015 was absolutely legendary. It was The Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar, and the WWE Universe was giddy with excitement about the match!

The event took place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and had an attendance of over 15,500.

Coming to the match, it is considered being one of the most controversial matches in the event’s history. It so happened that Brock Lesnar had put The Undertaker in the Kimura Lock, and apparently Taker tapped out.

The bell rang as he tapped out, but referee Charles Robinson did not see this submission. In fact, the referee was arguing with the timekeeper about why the bell went off even when he didn’t call for it. By this time, Lesnar was already celebrating his victory with his hands in the air. Unfortunately for The Beast, The Deadman delivered a low blow to him and applied a Hell’s Gate on him until he passed out.

Now, since the referee’s word is the last word in WWE, The Undertaker ‘won’ the match. It was a controversial win, but as per the records, it was The Undertaker’s victory.

Another moment from the match that stuck through the years is when Lesnar mocked Taker’s sit-up, and both sat in the ring laughing at each other.

Regardless of how it ended, the fans couldn’t stop chanting “This Is Awesome” during the entire match!
