While that is sometimes true, it's hardly a rule set in stone. Promoters aren't completely stupid and they are aware that this is exactly what we expect.
As much as I absolutely HATE this idea, I'm leaning towards a rubber match here. Undertaker beats Lesnar, probably not cleanly at all, Lesnar disappears for a while but Undertaker doesn't. Lesnar eventually comes back for revenge and retires Undertaker.
I absolutely don't like this idea. As I've mentioned many times, I'd prefer a Lesnar win. But Undertaker likes Lesnar a LOT, and there's probably no one better to believably retire Undertaker... Lesnar then becomes not only the man to beat the streak, but to retire the Undertaker and he retains his aura.
And again, just because everyone seems to think I'm arguing this because I want it, I don't particularly like the idea. Just I've spent a LOT of time thinking about it and it seems likely to me.
Officially, I want to see Lesnar F5 the hell out of Undertaker so I can bask in the 5 star promo Heyman is going to deliver on RAW on Monday. I just don't believe it will happen.
Brock losing this match ruins the streak. The purpose of the streak was for it to be broken and that achievement to propel them into superstar status. So far that's worked out for Lesnar, really really well, but if Undertaker is just to get his win back then it means nothing. You don't build up the outcome of a match for 22 years only for him to "get his win back"
Lesnar needs to win. He is currently carrying the streak's credibility and whoever gets the first clean win over him is essentially named the babyface who could have beaten the Undertaker at Mania. This is the whole reason why Reigns was getting so much backlash this year. They didn't want him to have that title.

It wouldn't ruin the streak. The streak is a monumental achievement over 21 Wrestlemanias. Lesnar ending it didn't ruin it and Lesnar getting beat doesn't ruin. People will still talk about as the grand achievement it was.
Furthermore Lesnar was already a huge superstar beforehand. Yes the streak breaking added to that, but it hardly made him a star. Undertaker avenging his own loss in no way demeans the streak. Now if Gillberg beat Lesnar maybe. But the streak was Undettaker's accomplishment. So beating the guy that beat him doesn't devalue that loss. Joe DiMaggio eventually had to not get a hit and Ken Jennings had to lose a game. But the pitcher who beat DiMaggio didn't devalue the streak the next time he lost and the woman who beat Jennings lost the following day. Like DiMaggio and Jennings, regardless what happens going forward, the Streak will always look like the legendary achievement it is.
And as someone who rooted for it to end every year until it did, I still have to admit that.

...it's going to happen isn't it
:facepalm2:
The thing is, if Lesnar ends the Streak and then Taker wins this because of a Kane run-in, how much interest will there be in a WM32 rematch?
There won't be any if Lesnar wins again. Best way to set that up is Taker winning a hard fart battle clean and that's literally the last thing I want to see lol
Can this match just not happen? Can they call like... Heath Slater as a last minute replacement for Undertaker?
I'm with you on that. I don't wanna see it, but WWE has a long history of doing things I don't want to see.
You make have some technical bs on your side.. But always know that taker did in fact Tap out first
I smell pussying out. lol
The end result is what matters. We had a CLEAR winner and that was the deal.
It wasn't clear. It was controversial, very much so.
But, he did come out as the winner. I'm sticking to the bet, but that result was bs.
