5 Superstars who could take Lesnar's Universal title right now

#2 Drew McIntyre

Enter ca — It's all business this time around.

After a roller coaster run during his first stint with the company, Drew McIntyre was officially released in 2014. After his release, many of us, including this writer, never really expected to see Drew back in a WWE ring again. However, Drew himself had other plans.

Following his departure, Drew McIntyre set out with a major chip on his shoulder, hoping to prove the wrestling world wrong and show everyone that he was indeed worth more than a comical run as an air-guitar player for 3MB. So, after several trips around the world and multiple major title victories, WWE officials finally realized what they once had and to be honest, they wanted their "Chosen One" back.

With that said, you may not see McIntyre as a formidable opponent for Brock Lesnar, but if you just take a look at what he has accomplished in the past 3 years or so, you'll see that he is a different person than he was before, with a much stronger in-ring arsenal and he is, in fact, ready for the challenge.
