Brock Lesnar Must Win at Hell in a Cell
It saddens me that this rubber match actually has to have a winner. In a perfect world, The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar could both go on living their separate lives as unstoppable forces of destruction that rule over the WWE without ever having to cross paths—a lot like how hurricanes and tornadoes never start fights with one another.
Unfortunately this isn’t a perfect world; it’s wrestling. And in wrestling—especially in this feud—nothing is sacred.
It’s funny to think that nearly two years ago, heading into WrestleMania 30, it was unfathomable to think that Brock Lesnar would beat the Undertaker. The Streak was the holiest record in all of wrestling, and if it was going to be broken, then it would have to be broken by someone who would go on to be more dominant than the Undertaker—a quintessential passing of the torch.
Well, it turned out that the torch belongs to Brock Lesnar, and he has yet to disappoint. Ever since that fateful night in New Orleans, Lesnar has transcended the physical world to become an immortal deity. No one has actually beaten Brock Lesnar since WrestleMania 30: Seth Rollins won the belt by pinning Roman Reigns, and even though the stat sheet says Undertaker won at SummerSlam, we all saw him tap out to the Kimura Lock before trapping Lesnar in the Hell’s Gate.
So, thus far, Brock Lesnar remains the apex mythical personage in the WWE. But a loss to the Undertaker at Hell in a Cell will undo all of that. It waters down the prominence of not just Lesnar’s victory at WrestleMania 30, but the Streak as a whole. Going forward, the WWE needs something to fill the void left by the Streak, and that something has to be Brock Lesnar.
And all that being said, winning isn’t all that matters in Lesnar and ‘Taker’s final showdown…
