The WWE's big money feud will come to an end Sunday when Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker battle inside Hell in a Cell, but the question needs to be asked: Who needs a win more?
4 Possible Outcomes To Lesnar vs. 'Taker
"The Beast" and "The Deadman" will battle it out at Hell in a Cell live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles in what will be the third encounter of their current feud. Lesnar shocked the world when he was booked to end The Streak at WrestleMania XXX, while The "Demon from Death Valley" got his revenge, albeit controversially, at SummerSlam this past August.
With both men having their reasons for needing a victory, the question remains over who deserves to have their hand raised high when the dust settles Sunday in L.A.
Ranking The Past Undertaker vs. Lesnar Battles
The Undertaker
"The Deadman" will compete in his 13th cell match, the most out of any Superstar in WWE history, and he enters with a 6-6 record. The Undertaker is a WWE legend and has given his life to Vince McMahon's company, so it's understandable why he may emerge victorious.
To that notion, 'Taker did Lesnar and the WWE a huge favor by going along with ending his legendary streak, which could mean that it's time for the WWE to pay him back. The Streak for two wins out of three seems fair, which is why it would make sense for the wrestling legend to end the feud on top.
The one strike against The Undertaker is that his future is always uncertain. If he takes his victory and disappears until WrestleMania 32, what is the point of said win? Then again, there are rumors he may be working more this year.
Brock Lesnar
"The Beast" used ending The Streak to catapult himself into an unstoppable monster in the WWE. That meteoric rise included him capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from John Cena, decimating him in the process, and never truly being pinned to lose the gold.
The WWE has built Lesnar up into such a beast that they didn't even have him lose cleanly in his rematch with The Undertaker. Instead, they booked a crazy finish that helped "The Deadman" get his win back from WrestleMania, while also keeping Lesnar strong.
The WWE has millions of reasons to keep Lesnar looking good, since he decided to re-sign with them on a multi-year lucrative deal, rather than bolt back to the UFC. Much like 'Taker, Lesnar showed the type of loyalty that could make the company decide to give him the victory Sunday. Plus, Lesnar's deal insures that he'll be a part of WWE storylines for the next few years, so a loss could be very damning to him.
Prediction
This is a tough one to pick, which is what makes it so compelling. The Undertaker's future and the WWE's plans for Brock Lesnar may very well decide this one. While it's hard to see Lesnar losing cleanly, ending The Streak was huge for him and the WWE may be getting set to pay The Undertaker back.
The Pick: The Undertaker
