Jim Ross Talks About Undertaker Vs. Brock Lesnar, Divas Triple Threat Match, Seth Rollins As A Heel

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross spoke to Sports Illustrated about this weekend's WWE SummerSlam card. You can see highlights of the interview below:

Brock Lesnar vs. Undertaker:

"A brawl is the only way to go for these two. What a great story it would be if both guys try to make their opponent submit. Think of what it would mean for a victory if both men were working for a submission?if the Undertaker continued to go for his gogoplata chokehold, and Lesnar was trying to get the kimura, which is a double wrist lock. Getting your opponent to tap out is the most macho of all the ways to win, and I can see that story woven in there by the announcers."

Divas triple threat match:

"The Divas feuds are lacking structure and a reason to care. The emotional investment is not there yet in this rivalry. Who goes over with nine of them fighting? And how much time do they have? They need two good finishes in this match, and then you need to have Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, and Paige win. But I don't know where they're going with this?they haven't established any real rivalries yet. They're on the roster, getting some exposure, but it's inevitable that some of them are going to have to take out some of their repertoire in a match with nine people."

Rollins being a great heel:

"But I sincerely hope there are no plans, somewhere down the road, to turn Rollins babyface. He's still learning how to be a great heel, and it's doing a damn good job with it. He's a student of the game, works hard, and every week he adds another nuance of being a heel. He's a major block in the foundation, so Cena beating him at SummerSlam is not the right thing to do. Rollins needs to retain the title, even if it's with the help of plenty of outside interference."
