10 Things That Must Happen at SummerSlam

Brock Lesnar beats the Undertaker one more time

One of the biggest main events in SummerSlam history, Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker will battle for the first time since the breaking of the Streak at WrestleMania 30. The aggression between the two all-conquering powerhouses is tangible, demonstrated by their incredible brawl on RAW a few weeks earlier. The added dimension of the Deadman taking cheap measures to get the better of Lesnar’s, including low blows and sneak attacks, which indicate him as the heel in this encounter. Either way, it will hopefully live up to its billing, and improve upon their WrestleMania battle which was a wholly underwhelming experience.

A lot of this will depend on the Undertaker’s health and if he can withstand Lesnar’s strong style, which resulted in the Phenom’s performance being hindered by a concussion. There is some hope in the fact he looks in better shape than in recent years, but whilst the quality of the contest is important, so is the result. Frankly, Undertaker is a contender for the greatest superstar in WWE history, but at this age is predominantly a special attraction for one or two PPVs a year. Lesnar, whilst also a part-time competitor, can still be called upon more regularly by WWE, and so should not be asked to bow to the Deadman at SummerSlam.
