3 WWE Superstars who could dethrone Brock Lesnar as the Universal Champion

Brock Lesnar won the Universal title for the second time at WWE Crown Jewel. The Beast Incarnate faced Braun Strowman for the vacant Universal championship, and he won the match quite easily. The match was totally one sided and Strowman never had a chance to come back into the match.

The match was meant to be a triple threat match at Crown Jewel, but the former Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, relinquished the title because of his health. Reigns defeated Lesnar at SummerSlam, and won the Universal title for the first time. However, the title reign did not last long.

Lesnar's first Universal title reign was awe-inspiring, and he held the belt for 504 days. It was one of the longest title reigns of the modern era, and it broke CM Punk's previous record of 434 days. The Beast Incarnate won his first Universal title at WrestleMania 33 when he defeated Goldberg, and held the title till SummerSlam this year.

Meanwhile, Lesnar's second Universal title reign is not likely to be lengthy like the previous one. He is scheduled to fight Daniel Cormier in UFC and the fight may happen next year. Hence, Lesnar is not likely to keep the Universal title for long. There are several superstars who could dethrone Brock Lesnar.

Here we discuss 3 superstars who could beat Brock Lesnar and become Universal Champion.

#3 Braun Strowman

Strowman is definitely popular in the WWE Universe

Strowman is a significant candidate to beat Brock Lesnar. As a matter of fact, Lesnar and Strowman have had several matches before, but Strowman has not successfully pinned Brock Lesnar yet. Lesnar faced Strowman at Crown Jewel, and he won the match comfortably.

Strowman's character has been quite strong since his main roster debut. The superstar has been in the title picture since last year, but he has not won the Universal title yet. Though he won the tag team titles this year at WrestleMania, and he also won the Money in the Bank event this year, but could not cash in successfully.

Strowman is definitely popular in the WWE Universe, and he is certainly a top candidate to win the Universal title. He has the captivating look and charisma to become the next Universal Champion.

#2 Drew McIntyre

He is well built, and he is an astonishing performer in the squared circle

Drew McIntyre could be a perfect candidate to dethrone Brock Lesnar. McIntyre's second WWE run has been magnificent, and he has attained plenty of success. McIntyre has main-evented Raw a couple of times in the last few months, and he is surely a top superstar in the company now.

McIntyre made his WWE debut in 2007, and he stayed in the company for seven years. However, his first run was not impressive. He was also part of the wrestling stable called 3MB. Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater were also part of the group. Afterwards, McIntyre left the company and made his name in the independent circuit.

He made his WWE return in 2017, and became the NXT Champion. He had some notable matches against Roderick Strong and Andrade 'Cien' Almas. He has also won the Raw tag team titles on the main roster.

He is well built, and he is an astonishing performer in the squared circle. The Scottish Psychopath is certainly suited to become the next Universal Champion.

#1 Bobby Lashley

He is swift in the ring, and is adept at having top-notch matches

Bobby Lashley is undoubtedly an ideal superstar to defeat Brock Lesnar. Lashley was an amateur wrestler like Lesnar, and the two superstars share a similar background. Lashley made his WWE return this year, but he is having an average run so far.

Lashley made his WWE main roster debut in 2005, and he stayed in the company for three years.

He won the ECW title in his first WWE run, and he won the title twice. In fact, he also won the US title once, and he was voted the most improved wrestler in 2006 by 'Pro Wrestling Illustrated'. He is swift in the ring, and is adept at having top-notch matches.

Lashley is also an MMA fighter, and he fought for various promotions. His MMA record is 15-2, which is certainly awe-inspiring. Lashley is definitely a believable superstar who could pin Brock Lesnar.
