3 Reasons why Brock Lesnar will defeat Braun Strowman at No Mercy and 2 reasons he won't

Will: The storyline wouldn't make sense

Brock Lesnar simply can't lose at No Mercy after being rag-dolled in the build to the event

Now, it's one thing if Brock Lesnar is booked to look utterly dominant over Braun Strowman in the build to the pay-per-view, before losing due to a lapse in concentration.

But it's Braun Strowman who's assumed the mantle of the bully in the build-up, making a victory for him at No Mercy — effectively — a burial of Brock Lesnar all things considered.

And given that Lesnar is still one of their biggest draws, why on earth would the WWE want to undermine him so?

For the storyline to make sense then, and both parties to emerge with their reputations enhanced after the event, there is really only one way in which the WWE can book the match.

Brock Lesnar has to beat Braun Strowman at No Mercy.
