Brock Lesnar will defend his WWE Championship for the fourth time since winning it last year on SmackDown at WrestleMania 36. The Beast will face the 2020 men's Royal Rumble winner Drew McIntyre, who also eliminated Lesnar at the Royal Rumble PPV earlier this year.

The feud between Lesnar and McIntyre has been an exciting one, with the Scottish Psychopath getting a big push from WWE's creative team over the last few weeks. It's quite certain that the feud will end at The Show of Shows, and both McIntyre and Lesnar will move on to new feuds regardless of the title changing hands or not.

The next big PPV is SummerSlam later on this year in August, which could possibly be where Lesnar defends his title next. Who could the WWE Champion face after Drew McIntyre?

Let's take a look at 5 feuds for Brock Lesnar after WrestleMania 36:


#5 AJ Styles

AJ Styles, the former WWE Champion, will face off against The Undertaker at The Show of Shows, a first-ever match between the two Superstars. Styles, who turned heel last year, has feuded with the likes of Humberto Carrillo, Cedric Alexander, and Randy Orton, to name a few.

Styles is in the latter part of his career and there's a likelihood that he will face off against some legends and have some meaningful feuds in the months and years to come. Styles could face off against Lesnar, whom he faced earlier at Survivor Series 2017, where Lesnar was the Universal Champion and Styles the WWE Champion.

Lesnar and Styles put on a good 15-minute match, but fans have been yearning for a proper feud between the two Superstars. Both Superstars are heels, but that shouldn't be a hindrance in making this feud must-watch TV. Styles may be smaller than Lesnar, which is an advantage that the WWE Champion has, but Styles has his two OC buddies, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows, which could level proceedings.

#4 Kevin Owens

One top RAW Superstar that Brock Lesnar hasn't had a feud with is former Universal Champion, Kevin Owens. Owens and Lesnar faced off once in a Madison Square Garden show on the Road to WrestleMania 33. Owens had lost the Universal Championship a week earlier to Goldberg, with the latter going on to face The Beast at WrestleMania 33.

Lesnar and Owens, though, did not get to have a full-fledged feud and just had that solitary match. WWE should get this feud up and running after WrestleMania 36, as Owens is currently a babyface that the crowd loves.

Owens is currently in a feud with Seth Rollins and the two will face off at WrestleMania 36, and it would make sense for Owens to go after Lesnar next, just like Rollins did last year. KO needs to get a few big scalps - like Rollins and Lesnar - to climb up the ladder and get back in the reckoning to target the WWE Championship.

#3 Bobby Lashley

One of the last few dream matches remaining for Brock Lesnar in WWE is going up against Bobby Lashley. The two have had similar journies to WWE while also being monsters in the MMA ring. But, they have never faced each other in a WWE ring.

Lashley has time and again spoken about his desire to face Lesnar, revealing to Sportskeeda's Gary Cassidy that facing The Beast was one of the reasons he returned to WWE:

“That’s the only reason I came back [to WWE] so everything that I’m doing around it, I don’t even know why I’m doing. I’m just doing whatever I need to do to get to that match - whether it’s singing, bringing my sisters on or playing that nonsense. They’ve held me back this long and I don’t know if it’s a point of paying dues here. I don’t care what it is, I’m going to get that match."

This match would sell even if no title was on the line, and this would fit in perhaps at SummerSlam or Survivor Series later this year.

#2 Keith Lee

Brock Lesnar was the #1 entrant in the men's Royal Rumble match earlier this year, where he eliminated Superstars left, right and center. The Beast had 13 eliminations to his name before being dumped out by the eventual winner, Drew McIntyre.

One of the most epic face-offs that Lesnar had at the PPV was with NXT's Keith Lee, who matched Lesnar's size and agility. The fans loved what Lee did in the few minutes that he was in the ring with The Beast, and that reaction could prompt WWE to set-up this match somewhere down the line.

Lee spoke about his intense confrontation with Lesnar during the NXT star's appearance on WWE Backstage:

"It was intense. When you get in the ring with someone that is a specimen like that, you have no choice but to feel it. For me, competition is something that excites me."

Lee is very over with the WWE fans after his Royal Rumble performance as well as his good showing at last year's Survivor Series and is ready to have a high-profile feud with someone like Lesnar.

#1 Edge

It's a pity that this feud never happened during Brock Lesnar's first run in WWE. Edge, like Lesnar, made this year's Royal Rumble and the men's Royal Rumble match, a memorable one. The WWE Hall of Famer returned to in-ring action after nine years, which got him a humongous reception at the PPV.

In Lesnar's first run in WWE, which ended in 2004, Edge was establishing himself as a singles star, having been part of one of the best tag teams, when he teamed up with Christian. Edge and Lesnar did not have a singles feud back then with them facing each other only once, at the Rebellion PPV in 2002.

Lesnar, who was the WWE Champion - which he won earlier in the year after defeating The Rock - won the match against Edge, retaining his belt. The WWE Universe would love to see the two icons face each other and tick off another match from the list of dream matches for both Superstars.
