6. Brock Lesnar Vs. Goldberg – WrestleMania 20, Survivor Series 2016, WrestleMania 33
The rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Goldberg stemmed from early 2004 when Lesnar cost Goldberg the chance at winning the 2004 Royal Rumble match. Goldberg retaliated by causing Lesnar to lose the WWE Championship to Eddie Guerrero at No Way Out 2004, a month later.
Nevertheless, Goldberg and Lesnar were both departing WWE after WrestleMania 20, and fans did not care one single iota about the victor of their clash. Steve Austin was the special guest referee, and Goldberg saw off Lesnar at Mania 20.
Twelve years later, Goldberg and Lesnar clashed in Goldberg’s first match in a WWE ring since that fateful night at Survivor Series 2016. The outcome was shocking as Goldberg dispatched the Beast Incarnate in under 90 seconds. That wasn’t the end of their rivalry as their trilogy was completed at WrestleMania 33 when they battled over the Universal Championship.
Goldberg entered as the reigning Universal Champion, but Lesnar won the Universal Title for the first time in his career. Lesnar and Goldberg’s WrestleMania rematch was unquestionably their best matchup between the pair, writing the wrongs of their drab encounter in MSG.
5. The Undertaker Vs. Kane – WrestleMania 14, Survivor Series 1998, WrestleMania 20
The Undertaker and Kane’s rivalry is one of the best stories told in WWE history. Paul Bearer masterfully built up the Big Red Machine’s debut. Despite Kane debuting at Badd Blood: In Your House, 1997, Undertaker and Kane’s first encounter didn’t happen until five months later at WrestleMania 14.
Undertaker and Kane contested one of their best matches against each other here, and Kane looked like a monster. It took three Tombstones for the Deadman to get the better of his younger brother.
Bearer was no longer by his son Kane’s side when Undertaker and Kane clashed in the quarterfinals of the Deadly Game tournament at Survivor Series 1998. Bearer accompanied The Undertaker and played a pivotal role in The Undertaker advancing to the semis by holding Kane’s foot down after a Tombstone.
Furthermore, Undertaker and Kane collided once again at WrestleMania 20 in Undertaker’s return match as the Deadman. The brothers had a steady match, but the result was inevitable, with Undertaker going 12-0 at WrestleMania with his trademark Tombstone.
