5 Cool Things WWE Could Do To Make Mahal Vs. Lesnar Worthwhile

5. Give The Match A Stipulation

The very least WWE can do is give fans a reason to believe Jinder Mahal has a shot against Brock Lesnar. Even though he made the challenge, there's nothing to stop Mahal from running scared and taking a count out loss. Why wouldn't he? If the threat of injury was there in a non-title match, begging off makes sense. That's what heels do.

That's where some sort of stipulation comes in. It'd be tacked on, sure, but then this match feels that way to begin with. We implore you, WWE, give us a reason to give a damn about Mahal vs. Lesnar. There's an easy, cheap way to do that: introduce a Street Fight dynamic or make it an Iron Man Match.

The latter could be explained as Mahal putting his foot in his mouth. During a promo, Jinder's claims that he could beat Brock more than once would lead Paul Heyman to suggest a half hour time limit. We know what you're thinking. 30 minutes for these guys!?

It's better than 15 minutes without drama.
