Lesnar, moments after destroying Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell
There was no one in WWE who had managed to put The Undertaker down. When Brock Lesnar came onto the WWE scene, he was touted as being "The Next Big Thing". He went over the likes of Hulk Hogan and The Rock before kicking off a feud with Undertaker.
Ever since then, WWE has fed their top performer to Brock Lesnar on numerous occasions. Lesnar destroyed him inside Hell in a Cell in 2002, a Biker Chain match in 2003, WrestleMania XXX, and many more. The one-time Undertaker managed to beat Lesnar was done in controversial fashion, which wasn't something that looked good on an icon like him.

Vince McMahon built The Deadman for more than a decade, only to feed him to Brock Lesnar during both of his runs in WWE. These losses sent a very clear signal to the WWE Universe: The Undertaker just isn't good enough for Brock Lesnar.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
