With the news doing rounds that Brock Lesnar turned down a fight with Daniel Cormier, the speculation has begun running rampant that The Beast has re-signed with WWE. While some may not like it, it could be a great move from the company. A lot of fans will hate the decision by WWE if it is announced that Brock will be on his way back to WWE after a 2 year long reign as Universal Champion, but now that Seth is Champion, it's likely that Lesnar will compete in big-time exhibition matches at big PPV's.

Again, it's not ideal, but if WWE use him wisely, this next 2 years could be the best in Lesnar's WWE career. Given the quality of his matches over the past 2 years, some of these matches could be quite fun.

So without further ado, following the speculation that Brock Lesnar has re-signed with WWE, today we are going to take a look at his next run with the company and look at 5 superstars we'd love to see him wrestle 1 vs. 1 for the first time.


#5 Mustafa Ali

While WWE love big Boss fights, especially with someone as great as Brock Lesnar, but his best work in recent times has come against smaller opponents. And there's no better underdog in WWE today than Ali. His promos on Twitter got him attention on 205 Live, and when he speaks from heart, he really connects with the WWE Universe. Thus, being the underdog against the most dominant Champion in WWE history is a perfect spot for The Heart and Soul.

Ultimately, this is the one on our list that would be least likely to happen, but if WWE are indeed interested in pushing Ali as their future top babyface, this is a match they should book. Brockn Lesnar's work against the likes of Balor, Styles, Bryan and Rollins prove that it would be a fantastic match.

#4 Bray Wyatt

This match should have happened years ago after The Wyatt Family encountered Lesnar in the Royal Rumble match. However, if they are to take his new 'Firefly Funhouse' gimmick seriously, this could still be an intriguing match. We've only seen a couple of vignettes from the newly packaged Wyatt, but it's safe to say that this gimmick will be creepier than his last, and if it translates to the ring, then the WWE could finally be using Bray properly.

Back then, the match with Lesnar would have been money, as both men were very hot at the time. But now, they could use it as a way to finally elevate Bray to the level he's deserved for years. In the ring, this would probably be the worst of the 5 matches we'll discuss today, but it would still be great. While we couldn't see Brock going down to Bray, the new Firefly Funhouse gimmick could help him get closer than anyone expects.

#3 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens has just ended his brief babyface run on Smackdown Live, and although we assume Lesnar will be on RAW when he returns to WWE, this is a match that needs to happen in the near future. When he made his way to the main roster, KO was considered a 'Prize Fighter', and technically, there's no better prize fighter in WWE history than Brock Lesnar. Hence, a battle of the two would accunt for a must-see match.

Now that KO is back to being a heel, he'll be at his bes. With Daniel Bryan injured for an unspecified amount of time, he'll be the top heel on Smackdown for quite some time. When Survivor Series rolls around, if the WWE opt to go for Smackdown vs. RAW yet again, this would be a great exhibition bout, and it's one the WWE Universe have been wanting to see for quite some time.

#2 Cesaro

The WWE have the ability to book several dream matches, and with the influx of talent from NXT, that list grows longer by the week. But there's one dream booking that's been lingering for years among the WWE Universe, and that's The Beast vs. The Swiss Superman. While Cesaro hasn't been pushed heavily as a singles competitor, he certainly has the talent, and after splitting from Sheamus, the company need to get behind him as much as possible.

Every time the Swiss Cyborg was given a chance to prove himself as a solo performer, he smashed it out of the park, and if his recent RAW bout with Cedric Alexander is anything to go by, he's ready for the main event. As we've said, Brock typically works better with smaller guys, but Cesaro is capable of working several different styles, and thus, this is a match the WWE Universe have been begging to see, and shout get sometime before WrestleMania 36.

#1 Drew McIntyre

It was indeed Seth Rollins that conquered the Beast at WrestleMania, but for a long time following his return to the main roster, many fans thought the best option for that match was 'The Scottish Psychopath'. After leaving WWE the first time, Drew McIntyre went to Europe to refine his game, and when he came back, McIntyre was an absolute physical specimen. He's now one of few men in the entire company that can stand up to The Beast physically.

In terms of big money matches, this is the best for both men. If this match was to main event any PPV on the WWE calendar, it would likely steal the show even with no Championshi on the line.

Given how the promotion see McIntyre and his future within WWE, this is one they'll likely be eager to book. If 'The Scottish Psychopath' doesn't get a shot at Seth Rollins at SummerSlam 2019, his match against Lesnar would be a fantastic exhibition bout to book.
