If Brock gets injured, sure, they could lose that. But then he came back to WWE after a few losses, lost to Cena straight away and still looked like a beast.
I get what you're saying, but I think Brock is one of the few guys who gives off that "real" cred, the stuff that makes people suspend their disbelief as goofy shit makes them tune out. Him having an "acted role" would be exactly the problem if the WWE tried to push him as a top star after an embarrassing loss.

Can you imagine kids at school saying "Whoa! Did you see Brock Lesnar beat Roman Reigns at SummerSlam?" without some other kid saying "Pfft. Brock Lesnar's a pussy. Mark Hunt killed him in 30 seconds."
