The current WWE Champion Brock Lesnar has a lot of say in the company. He gets what he wants and nobody questions him, not even Vince McMahon.

For wrestling only a few matches per year, Lesnar makes millions of dollars. His stakes are high, and this is why whoever faces The Beast Incarnate sees a boost in his career (if he wins). Lesnar has worked with most of the Superstars in WWE, and there are some he likes more than the others. At the same time, we have heard stories about him trying to change his storylines as he sees fit.

In this very article, we will look at three WWE Superstars Brock Lesnar likes to work with and two he probably doesn't. As always, let us know your thoughts on this in the comment section below.


#3 Likes to work with: R-Truth

R-Truth is one of the most underrated talents in WWE. He may not be a main eventer but does his job well. Truth provides great matches and entertains the crowd. If that's not enough, his mic skills are extraordinary and he's far more over than most Superstars.

A few months ago, he had a quick segment with Brock Lesnar. It received a good reaction from the fans. What surprised us, however, was Lesnar breaking his character. 'The Beast' laughed through the entire segment until it ended.

Reportedly, Lesnar was so impressed with Truth's work that he wants to work more with him. In fact, he's been pitching ideas to WWE. But the company is yet to act upon it.

It wouldn't be surprising if, in the upcoming months, Truth and Lesnar have another showdown. Their match is unlikely to happen but a segment isn't out of the question.

#2 Doesn't want to work with: Shane McMahon

WrestleMania 33 ended with Brock Lesnar winning the Universal Championship from Goldberg. This match wouldn't have been possible if Lesnar had faced Shane McMahon. According to several reports, Shane was going to face The Beast Incarnate at 'Mania but Lesnar refused to work with him and after some talk, he managed to alter the plans.

"Brock was able to get himself out of that match [against Shane], which he certainly didn't want to do, Shane was gonna work with somebody, so he's gonna pick the best guy in the company." (source)

A few months ago, these two also had a heated altercation backstage during WrestleMania 34. Vince McMahon wasn't happy with the bleeding on Roman Reigns' face during his match against Lesnar. When the former Universal Champion reached backstage, he had a confrontation with McMahon.

The Conqueror threw the belt at Vince, which was even aired on WWE 24 series. Shane wasn't having any of it and he stood up against Lesnar. Dave Meltzer confirmed that "there were words exchanged", but things settled down before anything could get physical.

#2 Likes to work with: Big Show

Big Show and Brock Lesnar had a long-lasting rivalry a few years ago. The rivalry ascended The Big Show's career to great heights.

When he was in WCW, nobody liked his character. Even after joining WWE, nothing changed. Big Show was frustrated with this, and when he appeared on Corey Graves' After the Bell podcast, he revealed that it was Lesnar who liked his work. He went to the officials and slammed them for not giving a chance to Big Show. He was happy when the company booked him in a rivalry with Show, which resulted in the famous ring-breaking moment.

“I remember hearing the story that they [WWE] were asking Brock [about] his next opponent, and he goes, ‘I wanna work with Show. He’s a giant, he can work.” (source)

They tore the city down during house shows and their rivalry was was one of the career-defining moments of Big Show. It remains to be seen when 'The World's Largest Athlete' will return to WWE again.

#1 Doesn't want to work with: Matt Riddle

Matt Riddle has been mocking Brock Lesnar for a long time now. He's even promised to defeat Lesnar and retire him from in-ring competition. Some reports suggested that the Chairman of the Board wasn't happy with Riddle calling out Superstars on social media. But Triple H said that Vince McMahon is okay with this situation and if he had any problem, he would've called asked to fix it.

Riddle and Lesnar had a heated confrontation backstage during the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Things were tensed when these two Superstars were standing next to each other. Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT revealed that Lesnar grabbed Riddle's shoulder and uttered this:

"Kid, you might as well stop saying my name and tagging me in s--t because you and I will never work together. Ever."

From that above statement, it seems like we are never going to see Matt Riddle vs Brock Lesnar in WWE, unless the current WWE Champion changes his mind. Riddle is in NXT right now, and it'll be interesting if he'll ever get this match.

#1 Likes to work with: Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre is going to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36. Vince McMahon thinks highly of McIntyre and he wants him to become a World Champion in 2020.

Apparently, Lesnar likes to work with McIntyre as well. The Scottish Psychopath recently destroyed Lesnar during a segment. When The Beast Incarnate was down and hurt, he told McIntyre to pick up the belt to increase the impact of his attack.

It's been reported that Lesnar is all in to put McIntyre over at 'Mania. He'll drop his title to him (likely) and go on a short hiatus. Here's what Sportskeeda's own Tom Colohue said about this:

"In addition to that, when you hear the crowd chanting one more time, Brock Lesnar heard it, Lesnar got up. He showed for it. Lesnar is doing everything he can to put Drew McIntyre over and he's been doing that since the Royal Rumble match. Brock is really invested in this and it's great to see. It really shows the amount of respect between the two men and it really shows how good a match we're going to get." (source)
