White sparked a Twitter backlash earlier this month when he called pro wrestling fake, an insult to the WWE community, which Lesnar has been a part of for years. But Lesnar, he’s got scores to settle. Heyman, the advocate for Lesnar, believes SummerSlam in New York City is the only place this rematch of epic proportions could occur. Not only was it the final Monday night before SummerSlam (in case that failed to register amid Triple H and Stephanie’s lengthy opening address), it was also Brock Lesnar’s chance to bask in the adulation of his adopted home state.

After years of being the “respected veteran” in the WWE, Undertaker is a heel. And she has had real opposition.
Who becomes Lesnar’s next challenger?
When WWE superstar – and former UFC heavyweight champion – Brock Lesnar was asked what he thought about his former boss’ comments on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” Tuesday, he had an straightforward answer. Poor Byron Saxton loses his chair to Bray Wyatt again, this time thanks to Dean Ambrose obliging his rival with a ringside seat.
Randy Orton is a logical choice, especially if the company wants to give the fans a solid program heading toward TLC and beyond. In the second match, Sasha Banks beat Nikki Bella, forcing her to tap in the middle of the ring.
Cena could be a possibility, should he hold the title at the Royal Rumble. The issue with this is that the feud has revolved more around Lana and Summer than Dolph and Rusev. Undertaker was going to be booed for anything he did to Lesnar anyways, so you might as well let Undertaker do whatever. Cesaro and Kevin Owens had already been scheduled to fight. Fans aren’t very excited about the Irishman holding the MITB briefcase anyway. But this guy brings a unique charisma and physicality that shouldn’t go diminished week after week in these quick 2-minute matches that devalue his strengths as a performer.
While he played a convincing role as a security guard, more people were in awe of who he was rather than being fearful of his stature.

Backstage, Seth Rollins is all smiles as he looks at the contract he and Cena will sign later. He managed to overcome that, but his luck in the Octagon began to run out and he went on to suffer back-to-back defeats against Cain Velasquez and Alistair Overeem along with diminishing PPV returns which prompted him to announce his retirement from the sport.
