Controversy Rocks the Conqueror Brock Lesnar could feel The Undertaker tapping out to his Kimura Lock. The ringside timekeeper saw it, too. There was just one big problem. See what happened next after a controversial turn of events reversed Brock's apparent victory.
Referee Addresses SummerSlam Controversy Despite the questionable finish to SummerSlam's main event, WWE official Charles Robinson is standing by his decision. Find out why he believes the timekeeper deserves blame and what he thinks about Paul Heyman's post-match statement.
Due to the position of The Deadman’s shoulders on the mat, official
Charles Robinson was checking his shoulders for a pin, and couldn’t see
The Undertaker tap for release on his own leg outside the ref’s vantage
point. The timekeeper, however, did see The Phenom tap, and
signaled for the end of the match with the bell. The miscommunication
led to a shouting match between the timekeeper and the official, during
which The Undertaker low-blowed an unsuspecting Lesnar just in time for
the bout to be restarted. The Deadman locked in a second Hell’s Gate
and, with Lesnar weakened and nowhere near the ropes, he half-commanded,
half-begged The Anomaly to submit.

Brock
Lesnar obeys no man, however, living or dead. Even as the lights began
to fade and defeat reared its head, The Beast refused to allow his foe
the satisfaction of a submission, raising a defiant gesture directly in
The Undertaker’s face as he slid into unconsciousness. The bell tolled
again, this time officially, and The Undertaker won. Only there was no
celebration. No confetti. No Deadman kneeling over Lesnar’s remains with
his serpentine tongue stuck through his fangs. Instead, The Undertaker
took his win and returned back into the void while Paul Heyman blew a
gasket, declaring Lesnar the rightful winner by virtue of a submission
that everyone except the referee had seen.

To some, this will even the score and The Undertaker, spurred by a year’s worth of disgrace,
did what he had to do to win. To others, Lesnar is owed satisfaction,
wherever and whenever that may come. Officially, The Deadman can claim
the victory that has eluded him ever since that fateful night in New
Orleans and Lesnar goes home on the losing end. Yet with the question of
dominance still unanswered between them, it’s highly unlikely that
either The Undertaker, or Brock Lesnar for that matter, will truly rest
in peace.
