WWE SummerSlam: 8 Reasons Why Brock Lesnar Must Conquer The Undertaker

7. It Will Ruin Brock Lesnar's Mystique

When Brock Lesnar emerged victorious from WrestleMania 30, he was transformed from the guy who came back and spent a year being beaten by Triple H into an unstoppable Beast on a vicious path of destruction. Brock was always worth watching, but seeing if anyone could put an end to him as an almost unstoppable force made his matches even more compelling, and as he dominated everyone from John Cena to Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in convincing fashion, it was almost as if he had inherited The Undertaker's supernatural powers! WWE Creative has already made some mistakes with Lesnar in recent months by ending a Raw with Brock being easily beaten down by Rollins and The Authority, a fate which nearly every Superstar on the roster has seemingly suffered at one point or another (and as we're supposed to view him as being on another level to everyone else, that's a problem). Even so, the way Lesnar took Rollins to Suplex City and shook off nearly all his offence proved that The Beast was still very much alive at Battleground. Could his apparent indestructibility get old? it's possible, but not if he's continuously pitted against only those with a chance of taking him down. The Undertaker is certainly one of those people, but a victory for the Deadman here would likely rob Lesnar of the mystique he's built up since WrestleMania 30. He'll become the guy who defeated The Undertaker by chance and someone who was unable to do so a second time. After all, if a 50 year old part-timer can come back out of the blue and take down the so-called Beast, why should any of us buy into him as a meaningful threat moving forwards?
