4). It would be a natural exit
If Brock Lesnar had lost to Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose or Goldberg at WrestleMania these past few years, dissatisfaction would have erupted in the WWE Universe.
Reigns wasn't ready at WrestleMania 31. Ambrose is the one wrestler who is lazier than Lesnar. And the Goldberg storyline could have only really culminated in one way.
But what if one among Strowman, Reigns or Joe actually beats Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam? Would it be as calamitous a notion as it comes across at first?
If you take a second and afford it greater thought, you can almost sense that the gap between Lesnar and his opponent has never been narrower. Samoa Joe almost choked him unconscious at Great Balls of Fire. And this time, Lesnar is also up against two more blood-thirsty powerhouses, apart from Joe.
Brock Lesnar doesn't have to get pinned or tap out to lose his belt. And all three of the men who will stand opposite him at SummerSlam have the ability - on their day - to clean house single handedly.
The odds have never been stacked this steeply against Lesnar before. And it would never be more acceptable than if he lost his WWE Universal Championship at the pay-per-view and rode off into the sunset.
Indeed, with Paul Heyman's announcement that Brock Lesnar will leave WWE should he not retain his belt at SummerSlam, it looks like they're gunning for that too.
