5 Thrilling things that could happen when Brock Lesnar shows up on WWE RAW this week

WWE RAW and SmackDown have not been putting their best feet forward thus far, considering that most of the shows have had very long match recaps. What we do know for sure this week is that WWE Champion Brock Lesnar will be a part of the show.

Brock Lesnar is just one of those individuals that you simply cannot ignore for multiple reasons. Not only because he holds the most prestigious title in the sports entertainment fraternity but because he is a beast of a human being and because he is a man who is definitely worthy of his nickname.

So, what could Vince McMahon have in store for us this week? I am going to list a few possibilities and I would like to invite you to comment on the said choices.


#5 Exacts revenge against Drew McIntyre for the beatdown on RAW

When you incite any individual, chances are that he/she will be baying for revenge against you for your actions at once. But when you incite a Beast, he will definitely be out to take revenge against you. No man in their right mind should honestly pick a fight with Brock Lesnar but then again Drew McIntyre is no ordinary man, dear reader.

And so, there's every chance that this week on WWE RAW, Drew McIntyre will show up to destroy, pulverize, and ground Brock Lesnar into a heap of dust. But The Beast is not to be taken lightly and he may be prepared for the threat to such an extent that Drew McIntyre is the victim at his hands.

And then, you have a situation where both men have gotten the better of one another as we head into WrestleMania and we don't know which of the two will triumph.

#4 Drew McIntyre still manages to get the better of him

According to wwe news and rumors WWE is planning to swerve us as they head into WrestleMania season and actually have Drew McIntyre lose to Brock Lesnar on the Grandest Stage of Them All. We've seen this in the past where we assumed that a certain person was going over Brock Lesnar, only to learn that the match was only made so that he would be fed to The Beast.

And for that same reason, the story going into WrestleMania could be that Drew McIntyre is the one puzzle that Brock Lesnar cannot solve, who consistently gets the better of him in every single interaction. And yet again, this week on RAW, when the two men clash, Drew McIntyre could get the better of The Beast and knock him down to the ground.

It would be far better than yet another promo from Paul Heyman hyping the match. While they are always great and to the point, the novelty has worn off over time because we've seen him do this for so long.

#3 First showdown with Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley, much like Brock Lesnar, comes from the sport of unscripted combat sports, or MMA to be even more specific. For years, people have wanted to see a match between Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar, to the point where Lashley himself has been very vocal about the same.

But Lashley was in TNA when Brock Lesnar dominated most of the WWE roster following his return and until recently, the match would not have really been possible. One would have assumed that Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar would be a match made almost immediately after the former's arrival to the company, but that has not been the case at all.

What if the plan for this week's episode of RAW is to have the first showdown between the two men, to promote a feud that can continue after WrestleMania, considering that a clash between these two forces of nature does not really need a title to make it special? It would be a step up from what Lashley has been doing with Lana.

#2 Destroys an enhancement talent

Brock Lesnar and Heath Slater had a memorable conversation a few years ago that people still remember with fondness and dread to this very day. We learned that day that Brock Lesnar does not care about Heath Slater's kids (although he used much stronger words). We also learned that Brock Lesnar demolishing someone low down the card can be very entertaining.

And maybe that is the plan for this week's episode of RAW so that Brock Lesnar gets his heat back and Drew McIntyre does not lose any steam in the process. Without a live crowd present, WWE may want to hold off their eventual confrontation until WrestleMania. They say that every ticket is sold before the bell rings, and the less you can give away before that, the better it may be.

There are so many unused superstars in the roster that would love a chance to come and confront The Beast Incarnate, cut a promo on him and eat a few F5s, because it'll at least get them on TV, such as Eric Young and No Way Jose.

#1 Announces a very special stipulation for the upcoming match

Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre is a big-ticket match and it is a contest between two larger-than-life athletes for the most prestigious prize in the business. Had there been a stadium full of people, this would have been enough to hook the audience in.

However, we live in strange times and because of the nature of the world around us, it is not possible to carry out this match in a stadium filled with people at all. And as a result of the same, maybe a special stipulation is needed to make the match memorable.

Maybe the match will not take place in the WWE Performance Center or maybe there will be a special guest referee to call things down the middle, such as Stone Cold Steve Austin. Maybe all of the action won't happen inside the ring but will instead take place inside a steel cage, which would add a whole new dimension to the upcoming match.

Which of these possibilities do you think is most likely?
