3 Possible opponents for Brock Lesnar at the Saudi Arabia event

Saudi Arabia is all set to hold their third major WWE pay-per-view event in the Kingdom, and WWE is coming at them with all guns blazing once again. With the company trying to make things work extremely well in the Middle East, the event will feature WWE Superstars Roman Reigns, The Undertaker, Kofi Kingston, Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Goldberg, AJ Styles, Brock Lesnar and more, and it'll stream live on the WWE Network.

While a few of the names mentioned above are actively competing superstars, many are legendary names who now only appear once in a blue moon to make things more interesting whenever WWE needs them. Brock Lesnar is one name which falls between the two categories, and literally only shows up whenever he wants.

Since Saudis like to pay top dollar to get the best entertainment, we can expect Lesnar to battle in a match for the third consecutive time in the Kingdom. In this article, we look at the three possible opponents for The Beast in The Middle East.

#3 Triple H

Lesnar and Triple H have had a few epic matches in the past

We’ve seen it once, we’ve seen it twice, and we could very well see it a thousand more times! A match between Brock Lesnar and Triple H is always a treat to watch as the two superstars have an undying past and have a chemistry that makes their matches work like a charm. Triple H battled John Cena at the first Saudi Arabian event and gracefully took a loss form the sixteen-time World Champion.

HHH teamed up with Shawn Michaels to take on The Brothers of Destruction (Kane and The Undertaker) at the second event. This could lead to Triple H battling another established and well-known and loved superstar like Brock Lesnar in a match which could prove to be his last.

Even if that’s not the case, a match between these two men is always welcome in the world of wrestling, as we have watched them put up some of the greatest and most brutal matches which have not only involved Brock Lesnar dominating throughout.

#2 Seth Rollins

Lesnar would want his title back

Who could be a better opponent for Brock Lesnar than the man who took the Universal Championship away from him? The Beast Slayer walked into WrestleMania 35 as nothing more than an underdog and walked out as the Universal Champion. He had won the Royal Rumble match to get a ticket to Suplex City. However, he cashed it in the right way and got what he deserved.

Since Lesnar hasn’t gotten a rematch for his Universal Championship, the Saudi Arabian event could be the stage where he could get the rematch. Lesnar walked into the previous two Saudi events and defeated Roman Reigns at The Greatest Royal Rumble while he took down Braun Strowman at Crown Jewel.

He was the Universal Champion in the first event, while he won the championship back in the second one. Could Saudi Arabia prove to be lucky for The Beast once again, as he could be on the prowl to get his belt back from Seth Rollins?

#1 Kofi Kingston

Kofi's first trip to Suplex City wasn't very smooth

With the wild-card in place, Brock Lesnar is as much at an advantage as any other monster in WWE today. Since Lesnar has held the Universal Championship before, he could be hungry for the WWE Championship once again. Kofi Kingston and Lesnar came face to face at The Beast in The East event back in July 2015, in Tokyo Japan.

While Lesnar walked in and walked out of the ring unharmed, Kofi wasn’t so lucky. With Kofi currently holding the WWE Championship, he could well be on Lesnar’s radar as The Beast is always hungry for gold and prefers to stay on top in the WWE.

Since WWE is trying to increase ratings for both its brands, Lesnar and Kofi could prove to increase the ratings on both shows as they can appear on Raw and SmackDown regularly for segments before the clash. Not only will this be Lesnar’s chance to win a top championship again, but also Kofi’s biggest chance to prove himself as the best.
