Brock has so much backstage heat accumulated for not delivering on an unprecedented contract that includes being the first person ever allowed to wear other sponsors on his clothing in the ring, a few million $ etc, that for him to make himself unavailable for earlier events is ludicrous. He has no respect for the industry, something Trips does, Trips is also making booking decisions, and has ALWAYS had a penchant for putting himself over guys that DESERVED it, let alone a freeloader. Also, Brock hasn't won ANYTHING since he's come back, and yet is going to main-event Summerslam; the fact that he's over as a heel at all is mostly based on the fact that he DESTROYS things and people (the rest being smarks that felt betrayed when he left the WWE for the NFL and UFC, and those that know he'll be out the door the day after Wrestlemania at Met Life), and that doesn't require winning matches to be perpetuated.
He'll beat the living hell out of Trips until Trips pulls out some unlikely victory. Only thing barring this being free money is the 'end of broadcast' stipulation, and the fact that the only way to build Lesnar's next feud (because he sure as hell won't do it the good old fashioned way) is for some sort of interference to occur, which may result in a loss for Lesnar.
But honest to god, 95% positive Triple H cannot stomach or fathom the idea of jobbing to someone who spits on the legacy he'll be handed when Vince dies. Plus, it's all but confirmed Lesnar is coming back to the UFC at the conclusion of his current deal with WWE. Why put someone over when they're gonna be making money for someone else as soon as the money you're paying the guy stops coming?
