WWE No Mercy 2017: 3 Reasons Why Brock Lesnar Must Retain

Brock Lesnar’s Next Loss Should Be A Big Moment.

Lesnar losses are a big deal. Even before WrestleMania XXX, Lesnar’s only post-return losses came to John Cena and Triple H. WWE has done right by him and gone out of their way to protect him.

Lesnar is not undefeated since the win over The Undertaker. He was pinned by The Deadman at SummerSlam 2015. He also lost via pinfall to Goldberg at Survivor Series 2016 and he was eliminated from the 2017 Royal Rumble by Goldberg. He suffered a few other losses, but in multi-man matches where he didn’t get pinned or submitted.

WWE has a tendency to ignore such things. Lesnar is champion now and they know his next loss is going to come at WrestleMania 34, so they’re going to do whatever they can to make sure the man who beats him get’s the biggest rub possible. Their short-term memory loss is frustrating at times, but they usually have a good thought process behind their actions. This is one of those times.
