All that talk about Suplex City leading up to WWE Battleground wasn’t
just clever marketing. Lesnar gave his opponent a personally guided
tour of America’s most dangerous borough, continually using Rollins’
skull to leave gaping potholes up and down Main Street.
The
champion was road kill at that point and Lesnar, with perhaps a shred
of sympathy, powered him up and took him out with an F5. There was no
way Rollins was kicking out, but then he didn’t have to. The Undertaker
arrived like some mad avenger, a conflicted hero hell bent on
retribution. It had been more than a year since Lesnar beat The Deadman
at WrestleMania, snapping The Undertaker’s legendary 21-0 winning Streak in the single most shocking moment in WWE history.
The Deadman had only appeared once since then, returning to The Grandest Stage of Them All to topple Bray Wyatt. So
why now? Why did The Undertaker chose the closing moments of Brock’s
WWE World Heavyweight Title Match at Battleground to target The Beast?
Had he been preparing to confront Lesnar since April 2014 and only now
felt physically and mentally ready? Did all of that biblical speak from
Paul Heyman trigger something in The Phenom? Hell, had Chief Operating
Officer Triple H convinced him to do it?
Those questions will hopefully be answered soon, but, for now, one thing is for certain: The dead have risen.
