5 Superstars who could defeat Brock Lesnar after WrestleMania 35

At WrestleMania 35, Brock Lesnar will defend his Universal title for just the second time in 2019, when he faces off against 2019 Men's Royal Rumble winner, Seth Rollins.

The Beast Incarnate has had very little ring time recently, but will still be a dominant force, come April 7, 2019. Rollins and Lesnar have faced off once before in a singles match, way back in 2015 at the Battleground PPV, where Lesnar was victorious after The Undertaker interfered in the match.

Lesnar is currently not the most favourite Superstar among fans, owing to him not appearing too many times on RAW or PPV and not defending the Universal title.

The Beast's future with WWE is uncertain. WWE, or even UFC, where he was rumoured to leave to, haven't disclosed Lesnar's plans. But, one thing is certain, WWE will not let Lesnar have easy losses that will harm his reputation; in the eyes of Vince McMahon, he's the best.

If Lesnar does come out of WrestleMania 35 unscathed, still holding on to the Universal title, which Superstars could dethrone him after that match against Seth Rollins? Let's take a look at 5 Superstars who could defeat Brock Lesnar after WrestleMania 35:


#5 Bobby Lashley

This match has been in the making for almost a decade. Lashley and Lesnar both come from similar athletic backgrounds, with both great MMA fighters who can genuinely hurt each other, while supremely athletic as well.

Lashley and Lesnar had never been in the WWE at the same time, which changed last year when Lashley signed once again with the WWE. This is a match worthy of being on a WrestleMania card, but I think could even go on at Survivor Series or another big PPV.

Lashley is currently a heel and will have to turn face to finally face off against The Beast in WWE.

#4 AJ Styles

Most fans have been critical about Brock Lesnar for his lack of ring time and his non-appearance at PPVs. The anger is exacerbated by the fact that the current Universal Champion is a great wrestler in the ring, bringing all of his experience, athleticism, and supreme talent to put on a great show.

Lesnar can mix it up with big and small wrestlers, with his matches against smaller opponents like Finn Balor and AJ Styles also being praised by the WWE Universe.

Styles and Lesnar have faced off only once, at Survivor Series, where Styles ran him close.

A feud between these two could be interesting, and it may happen after WrestleMania 35 if Styles moves over to RAW after the Superstar Shake-Up. This could also be the last time that these two face each other, considering both are in their 40s.

#3 Lars Sullivan

It's a pity that Lars Sullivan couldn't debut on the main roster after he developed panic attacks before his main roster call-up. Sullivan is still with the WWE and Triple H spoke about the Sullivan situation just a few days ago.

"It's one of those situations where you just have to wait and see. There's much more to come, you just have to wait and see," said Triple H while speaking during the NXT Takeover press conference.

Sullivan is a monster who can go with most of the big men in the WWE and would be a different test to Lesnar compared to that of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins or AJ Styles.

It could also be a way of Lesnar putting over a young, upcoming star, who perhaps needs all the support after his recent breakdown. Lesnar probably has very little time in the WWE and it is time he paves the way for other younger stars before he leaves the WWE for good.

#2 Drew McIntyre

Another Superstar who is tipped to the top is Drew McIntyre, who has had a great year in the WWE on the main roster. At WrestleMania 35, McIntyre will face off against Roman Reigns - not bad for the first WrestleMania match since his return to the main roster.

McIntyre is a menacing figure in the ring and is also a decent worker, which could make for a good match if he is put in a feud with Brock Lesnar.

The Scottish Psychopath is a heel, currently, and a face turn could happen soon, perhaps after WrestleMania. Many have predicted that McIntyre is "World Champion material" and that he could win a title by the end of 2019.

A feud with Lesnar will elevate his status in the WWE, and perhaps even lead to his first major title in the WWE.

#1 Roman Reigns

There can only be one man who will dethrone Brock Lesnar in the WWE and that is Roman Reigns. Reigns was the last person to defeat Lesnar in a singles match, when he defeated him at Survivor Series last year, to win his first Universal title.

He had to relinquish the title following his leukaemia but has returned to the WWE a hero. The Big Dog will certainly be put against Lesnar after WrestleMania 35, and a win over Lesnar for the Universal title will be an emotional storyline that fans will buy into, as Reigns battled all odds to get back the title he never lost.

Reigns is currently in a feud with Drew McIntyre, which could end at WrestleMania 35.
