Since returning to SmackDown from suspension a few weeks ago, Brock Lesnar has been on a path of destruction. The Beast Incarnate destroyed Sami Zayn, the #1 contender for Roman's Universal Championship on the December 3 episode of the blue brand.
As a result, Zayn was easy prey for The Tribal Chief, who retained his title. The following week on SmackDown, a battered Sami again fell victim to a devastating F5 from Brock as a terrified Paul Heyman looked on.
On the latest edition of SmackDown, Lesnar continued his annihilation as he attacked The Usos and Roman Reigns.
Brock will certainly fancy his chances of winning his fourth Universal title at the Day 1 pay-per-view. If this happens, it will be a moment to treasure for Lesnar's fans.
With that being said, there will be a host of opponents eyeing an opportunity to challenge Brock for the championship. In this article, we look at five potential feuds for Brock Lesnar if he becomes the next WWE Universal Champion.
#5. King Woods vs. Brock Lesnar
King Woods has been on a roll on SmackDown of late.
On the December 10 episode of the blue brand, Woods and Kofi Kingston beat RK-Bro (RAW Tag Team Champions) and The Usos (SmackDown Tag Team Champions) in a Triple Threat Match to be crowned the best tag team in WWE.
The New Day again conquered The Usos on the latest episode of SmackDown, heading into a championship contest at Day 1. With that being said, King Woods hasn't won a singles title yet in WWE and would look to change that.
He could challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship, which will be an epic bout. The match will pin Woods' athletic ability against the brute strength of Lesnar, making it a must-watch for the WWE Universe.
#4. Kofi Kingston vs. Brock Lesnar
Back in 2019, Brock Lesnar beat Kofi Kingston for his WWE Championship in eight seconds on the 20th Anniversary of SmackDown.
The New Day member would capitalize on the opportunity to seek revenge by challenging The Beast for the Universal title. The match will be one for the ages.
Sir Kofi will give it his all in this contest as he'll look to win his first Universal Championship, making this bout a spectacle for the WWE Universe.
#3. Sheamus vs. Brock Lesnar
A championship that has deserted Sheamus in his illustrious WWE career is the Universal title.
The Celtic Warrior would want to change that and look for an opportunity to challenge for the esteemed championship. What would be better than locking horns with Brock Lesnar if he is the next Universal Champion?
The contest pinning these heavyweights will be tremendous as The Celtic Warrior would look to put The Beast down with the Brogue Kick, whereas Lesnar will look to neutralize Sheamus with the F5. The match will certainly be an intriguing affair, much to the delight of the WWE Universe.
#2. Drew McIntyre vs. Brock Lesnar
Drew McIntyre beat Brock Lesnar earlier, and there's no reason why he can't do it again. The Scottish Superstar dethroned The Beast at WrestleMania 36 to become the new WWE Champion. He could look to repeat that by beating Brock again, this time for the Universal Championship.
Drew, since being drafted to SmackDown, has at best been in mid-card storylines, and WWE could push him into the Universal Championship picture.
The contest between these strong bulls will undoubtedly be one for the ages.
#1. Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar (rematch for the Universal Title)
The upcoming contest between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar at WWE Day 1 for the Universal title will be an exciting affair.
If Brock beats Reigns for the title, Roman will look for a rematch to claim his championship at the next available opportunity. The two superstars could look to lock horns again at Royal Rumble 2022, where The Tribal Chief will come guns blazing to reclaim his title.
If this rematch sees the light of day, it'll surely be an intriguing proposition to keep the WWE Universe invested in this storyline.
