10 Steps In Re-Booking The Undertaker Vs. Brock Lesnar WrestleMania XXX Feud

In booking a rivalry as important as Undertaker Vs. Brock Lesnar, it’s essential that both men look as strong as possible, to make it convincing that either man has a chance of winning at WrestleMania. However, the actual feud that took place had few moments of physicality from either man, which hurt their images a bit (especially for Undertaker, whose physical abilities were constantly in question since he began working only one match per year at that point).

To alleviate this problem, both Lesnar and Undertaker would attack someone else on the WWE roster to show off their strength. In Lesnar’s case, he’d go for an established star, such as Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, or John Cena. In doing so, not only would Lesnar make a bigger heel out of himself, but by vanquishing established World Champion-caliber athletes, he’s sell himself as a dominant force capable of demolishing someone whose Streak is ‘more prestigious’ than any World Championship.

Undertaker, on the other hand, would target someone specific: Wade Barrett, to tie up the loose end from Bragging Rights 2010, when the Nexus helped Kane bury him alive. Undertaker would use all of his signature moves on Barrett, as well as steel chairs and steel steps, to sell his own viciousness before his match with Lesnar. 

This would show that ‘Taker didn’t have any ‘ring rust’, and that he’d be prepared for a real fight.
