5 possible opponents for Brock Lesnar at the Saudi Arabia show

WWE have announced that the next Saudi Arabia show, the first one of 2019, will take place on June 7 at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium. They have not yet revealed the name of the PPV, but we do know that 8 top Superstars will be competing at the show, which includes the likes of The Undertaker, Goldberg, and Brock Lesnar.

UFC President Dana White recently revealed in an interview that Lesnar has told him that he has retired from MMA, which means that he will mostly be available for big WWE shows.

Lesnar has featured in the last two Saudi Arabia PPVs - Greatest Royal Rumble and Crown Jewel, and we'll see him once again in June.

So, who could the former Universal Champion face in Saudi Arabia? Let's take a look at 5 possible opponents for Brock Lesnar at the Saudi Arabia show:

---

#5 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns defeated Undertaker at Survivor Series to win the Universal title

While this may seem like a match that has been done and dusted, and been done a few times, we never saw a rematch after Lesnar lost the Universal title to Reigns at Survivor Series last year.

Reigns' battle with leukaemia saw him reqlinquish the title and then sit out for a couple of months while Lesnar was champ once again.

Reigns and Lesnar are still big names and wildly popular among the WWE Universe around the world, and this match will grab a lot of eyeballs in Saudi Arabia.

They may not face each other for a title, but the two have history with each other which could be used in the build up to the match.

#4 Kofi Kingston

Brock Lesnar and Kofi Kingston faced off against each other at the Beast in the East PPV

WWE's SmackDown Live brand moves over to Fox later this year, after the two giants signed a huge deal to air the blue brand, which will move to Friday nights.

There have been several reports doing the rounds that WWE could move over some big names to the blue brand. It seems that WWE have already done that by moving Roman Reigns over to SmackDown Live.

Another man who could join Reigns on SmackDown is Brock Lesnar, with a few reports suggesting the same. We could maybe see that switch happen starting from the Saudi Arabia PPV.

Lesnar could face off against Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship, which would be an interesting feud. The two have faced off against each other in singles competition once previously, in the Beast in the East PPV back in 2015, where Lesnar won.

#3 Undertaker

The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar

The Undertaker will return to the WWE at the Saudi Arabia PPV in June, which will be his first match since the last Saudi Arabia PPV, Crown Jewel, back in November.

He had then teamed with Kane to take on Triple H and Shawn Michaels, a match which the Brothers of Destruction lost.

'Taker has been a part of both Saudi Arabia PPVs, facing off against Rusev in the first PPV, Greatest Royal Rumble.

We could maybe see The Phenom face off against The Beast, a match-up that will certainly generate a lot of interest. The two last faced off against each other in the Hell in a Cell PPV back in 2015, which Lesnar won. This could perhaps be the last time The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar face each other, with reports suggesting that Lesnar may retire at next year's WrestleMania 36.

#2 Goldberg

Brock Lesnar and Goldberg faced each other last at WrestleMania 33 in 2017

Another match-up that's happened before, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar have faced each other thrice in WWE, with their last meeting happening at WrestleMania 33, where Brock Lesnar defeated Goldberg to become Universal Champion.

That was also Goldberg's last match in the WWE, and he will return to the ring at the Saudi Arabia show in June, two years on from his WrestleMania 33 match.

With both Superstars part-timers, they may not be available to have a long program in the build-up to the Saudi Arabia show, but their past history, one that's well-known to most WWE fans, makes it an easy story to tell.

There is a possibility that Goldberg may also be a part of a Battle Royal match (if it does happen, like last year) and him winning the match will get a huge pop from the WWE Universe, and perhaps give the WWE Hall of Famer one final fell-good moment in the WWE.

#1 Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins defeated Brock Lesnar in a quick match at WrestleMania 35

This is probably the most likely match for Brock Lesnar at the Saudi Arabia show. Lesnar was beaten in no time by Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 35, losing the Universal title to the Beastslayer.

Rollins has spoken about how he would be interested in a rematch with The Beast sometime down the road: "I’d be up to the task… I would definitely be open to giving him a rematch even though I do know what’s at stake if he were to beat me," said Rollins in an interview with Express Sport.

While I don't see this feud lasting a long time, a match-up between the two, and a victory for Rollins, could finally put an end to the feud with Lesnar's rematch granted.

Rollins will retain the Universal title, and perhaps his next challenger leading up to Survivor Series, will be revealed at the Saudi Arabia show.
