From a kayfabe perspective, it gets Lesnar pissed off and emotionally invested in wanting to destroy Taker (as opposed to Taker randomly calling out Lesnar via satellite sometime in January/February 2016, with Lesnar smiling and saying, "I already kicked your ass, I got nothing to prove to you buddy! "


As far as Taker challenging Brock at Mania goes, I'm not sure how the WWE will play it out. Maybe this coming Monday on RAW, Undertaker challenges Lesnar to Mania' and states himself that, "if I can't beat you at Mania', I will retire" (both Taker and Lesnar are in the ring). Heyman gets Lesnar to shake Taker's hand to agree to it. They do. Immediately after however, Lesnar "low blows" Taker (revenge for low-blow) and beats the living shit out of Taker. [perhaps this comes across as heelish to the fans, so that the fans don't interpret Undertaker being a clear cut heel heading into Mania].


The WWE suspends Lesnar as result of his actions until February.

Plus I dont see what is gained from Brock going 2-1 against Taker. If Brock went 2-0 against Taker, sure I see a point in that. But to go 1-1 in their last two fights does Brock no good. And there's no continued winning ways. He hasn't won a big match since Royal Rumble 2015. Assuming he doesn't have another big fight till Survivor Series or Rumble, thats close to a year.
I think the WWE respects Taker to the point where they didn't want him to have zero victories against Brock. Taker looks like a bitch if he never get one official victory over Brock, while losing his streak and career to Brock. By getting one victory, it atleast makes Taker looks like he's a guy that has heart and backs down from no one even if he's a little old and passed his prime now.


As far as Brock goes, I don't think the fans really care that Brock hasn't won since RR 2015. He still has that presence and respect amongst the fans. Lesnar absolutely dominated both Reigns and Rollins in their matches, and kayfabe wise, the fans know that he only lost due to unforeseen circumstances. Lesnar is still credible as fuck.


However - if Lesnar was in the main-event of Wrestlemania this year and lost CLEANLY, then yes, he would lose some credibility. On the flip side, if you have Lesnar destroy Reigns or Rollins for the title at Mania', then it hurts the development of Reigns/Rollins as future credible "franchise guys" for the WWE. That's why I like the idea of keeping Lesnar away from Reigns/Rollins until 2017. During 2016, you can have Lesnar get more dominating victories over other wrestlers, while on the other side, building up Reigns and/or Rollins as credible #1 guys in the company.


If Lesnar ends Taker's career at Mania however, it further adds to Brock's credibility and accomplishments.


That's how I see it.


And yes - I know Taker has done some heelish/cowardly things against Lesnar thus far, but I just can't see people in his own home state booing Taker.....especially if there's a built in implication/stipulation that it will be Taker's last match.


The WWE loves their poignant moments and if they can re-create HBK-Flair or Taker-HBK, via Lesnar-Taker, then I think they'll do it (along with giving Taker a Flair-esque send off on RAW the next night).
