WWE WrestleMania 31: 10 Booking Steps For The Rock vs Brock Lesnar

8. Initial Confrontation

After Lesnar wins his match at SummerSlam, which is vital to this plan, then he and Heyman should have a moment in the ring where they say that Lesnar has no competition left now that he has defeated whoever he faced at SummerSlam and defeated Undertaker's WrestleMania streak. That's when the time is right. As Lesnar steps through the ropes to leave we hear "Can you smell what The Rock is cooking" blast through the speakers in the arena and out comes Rock. He congratulates Lesnar on defeating Undertaker, but then he reminds Lesnar that there is one name The Undertaker never bested at WrestleMania, and that's The Rock. Rock and Heyman will go back and forth about how Lesnar and Rock have faced each other before and then The Rock will say it has never been on the grandest stage of them all. Then he does his thing where he uses some insults to antagonize and anger Lesnar until he gets pissed and turns red. Heyman will try to hold him back, but the two former champions will end up coming face-to-face. Here is where WWE needs to be careful. They can't just have the two agree to a match right then and there. They have to make it seem like Lesnar isn't interested and walk away. That is where the long build really starts.
