Undertaker vs. Brock Lesnar Feud Must Have Limited Physicality After Huge Brawl
The sequel to the collision of behemoths that Undertaker and Brock Lesnar gave fans on Monday's Raw has to wait until SummerSlam.
WWE kickstarted this renewed rivalry with a brawl that will go down as one of 2015's best moments. After that thunderous bang, it's best to hold off on the next explosion. Too much physicality between now and SummerSlam would dissipate the excitement churned up by that fight in Kansas City, Missouri.
On Monday night, fresh off Undertaker's return, Triple H warned of Undertaker and Lesnar getting their hands on each other before the big match. In his mind, if they met face to face early, they might destroy each other, thus ruining a chance for a marquee bout to headline a marquee event.
Of course, even with Triple H taking precautions, even with the Chief Operating Officer sending The Beast Incarnate home for the night, Lesnar tore his way into the ring with bad intentions.
He and Undertaker didn't just trade right hands as wrestlers do on a nightly basis—they created a whirlwind of violence that soon included several other men. Security guards tried to pull apart the two gladiators. When they failed, the bulk of the roster emerged, one half holding back Lesnar and the other surrounding The Deadman.
To play up each man's power, to present these two as leviathans, WWE scripted them to tear away from these swarms of humanity and keep this battle going.
The intensity of that moment befitted a go-home show. With that and Paul Heyman's usual passionate sales pitch, Lesnar vs. Taker is ready to go. SummerSlam, however, isn't for another five weeks.
And that's where the chance for ruining this momentum pops up.
First off, there is no topping that brawl. Unless Lesnar and Undertaker start throwing each other through buildings, WWE can't make the next confrontation any bigger.
Featuring less intense, less chaotic scuffles between now and SummerSlam would have the hype for their match lessen rather than grow. It'd be better to let the fans anticipate what's next. It'd be better to keep Lesnar and Undertaker apart.

Make the WWE Universe hungry to see those two go at it again.
Heyman's presence makes that an easy task. He's made a habit of making a bout sound like the must-watch event of the year. Whether Lesnar has gone after Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins or John Cena, the advocate's monologues further excite the audience about what's to come.
And it makes sense from a character standpoint that both Lesnar and Undertaker would slip into their own lairs until it is time to tear into each other.
Lesnar is the beast who only arrives on special occasions. He isn't involved in meaningless matches, paired up in six-man action or asked to sit in on commentary. He instead crawls into the darkness of his cave and seethes.
Undertaker's appearances are even rarer. Battleground was the first time he showed up on WWE TV since WrestleMania. Having him go to whatever sinister place he calls home until SummerSlam wouldn't surprise anyone. He can make his presence known through tolling bells, blue-lit fog and pre-recorded messages.
WWE's production team can take over for the most part now, splicing together clips to tell these warriors' stories through videos.
Let the other wrestlers work to hype their own SummerSlam matches. The fuse for Lesnar vs. Undertaker is already lit.
