WWE Battleground's primary goal was to establish a Brock Lesnar versus The Undertaker match for SummerSlam. It is a match that Vince McMahon has had in mind ever since The Beast conquered the streak back at WrestleMania 30. There's a natural narrative stemming from that, in which The Undertaker will seek to avenge the loss. However, the timing and circumstances of booking this second match is causing a great degree of controversy in the internet wrestling community. Lesnar has been so over as a hot babyface, but he's in danger of flat lining against the revered legend of The Undertaker. Fans witnessed that at Battleground, as the crowd instantly stopped caring about Lesnar and immediately broke out in celebratory Taker chants. The other issue is that the last match between the pair really wasn't that good. They are twelve years past the prime of their best matches together, and longer term fans have seen the feud done too many times already in 2002, 2003 and 2014. But this is going to be the SummerSlam headliner regardless, as Vince, Taker and Lesnar all wanted to do it. The road to SummerSlam and aftermath is already plotted out, with several things that fans can expect over the course of this summer feud.
