On RAW last night we saw Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker engage in an epic brawl. Lesnar came out and attacked The Undertaker after he interrupted Paul Heyman's promo. They brawled in the ring as security and most of the WWE locker room came out to separate them. You can watch the brawl itself here.
It was announced that Lesnar vs. The Undertaker will take place at Summerslam next month when WWE comes to the Barclays center. This is an old-school type of fight in wrestling where two guys who really don't like each other are out to settle a score. Brock Lesnar ended The Undertaker's WrestleMania win streak at WrestleMania 30. On Sunday night, The Undertaker interfered and cost Lesnar his shot at the WWE title in his match against Seth Rollins. Each man has a score to settle with the other and they will settle it at Summerslam.
As I said this is an old-school type of fight. These guys don't need to cut a long 20 minute promo to get fans excited about their match. The fans believe in both performers and want to see this match. I hate to say it but this type of fight is rare in wrestling and especially WWE nowadays.
WWE will need to make more attractions like Lesnar and The Undertaker if they want the fans to stay interested in the product. Future Superstars like Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins will need to be believable characters with strong motivations going against strong heroes like John Cena and Randy Orton.
The match between Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker will be great and harken back to an era where scores were settled in the ring and stars were stars for life.
