Brock Lesnar - to some fans, he's a must-see player, a huge name in wrestling that brings a big-fight feel to every appearance.

To others, he's one of the worst things to happen to wrestling, able to extort an obscene amount of money for just a handful of (oft-formulaic) matches.

Whatever fans may call him, one name he is proud to go by is Mr Money in the Bank.

Despite promising to cash-in on Seth Rollins during this week's RAW, Lesnar did not, leaving the WWE Universe to wonder, when will The Beast cash in.

There are certainly of opportunities for Lesnar to make history and try and reclaim either the WWE or Universal Championship.

Here are five times Brock Lesnar could cash in his WWE Money in the Bank contract.


#5: Summerslam 2019

SummerSlam is considered the greatest party of the summer and over the years the August tradition has provided many shocking and surprising moments.

Taking place not long after the Money in the Bank pay per view on the company's calendar, the blockbuster event has seen a handful of cash-ins over the year.

In 2011, Alberto Del Rio became the first man to cash-in at SummerSlam over a prone CM Punk, whilst Randy Orton was equally successful when he cashed-in on Daniel Bryan in 2013.

We all know that Brock is usually reserved for the big pay per views, and SummerSlam is one of the big four, and arguably the second biggest overall, behind WrestleMania.

It's not outside the realm of possibility that Lesnar could shock everyone by cashing in at the biggest party of the Summer, at the expense of either Seth Rollins or Kofi Kingston.

#4: Royal Rumble 2020

The Royal Rumble is one of the big four pay per views of the year, sharing the limelight alongside WrestleMania, Survivor Series and Summerslam.

Over the years, Lesnar has accomplished plenty at the January event, including winning his first Rumble match in 2003, a match that he qualified for earlier that same night with a victory over the Big Show.

The following year, Lesnar retained the WWE Championship and retained the Universal title at the event twice, in 2018 and 2019.

Seen as the starting point on the road to WrestleMania, Lesnar could certainly make his move into prominence if he was to cash in at the Rumble, especially if it was on a beloved world champion.

And with Lesnar reportedly furious after not main-eventing WrestleMania 35, cashing in at the Rumble would practically guarantee the final match on the Mania card.

#3: A random WWE Live event

When Brock Lesnar chose not to follow through on his promise to cash-in on Seth Rollins during this week's RAW, fans weren't exactly thrilled.

Though the company tried to play it off as the wacky, unpredictable world of WWE entertainment, many fans saw it as another example of promising something to hook the fans, and not delivering.

If WWE did want to surprise fans (in a good way), then Lesnar cashing in at a Live event could certainly be the way to go.

After all, fans know how Lesnar's schedule works, meaning that no-one would dare expect the Beast to show up at a random house show unannounced.

If WWE really wants fans to believe that anything could happen, a Lesnar Live event appearance and World title change is definitely the right call.

#2: WrestleMania 36

Brock Lesnar's contract is unlike anyone else in WWE, and will probably never be replicated.

A very wealthy man, Lesnar's contract allows him to go months on end without appearing, only to be thrust into the main event scene upon his return.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the Money in the Bank contract gives Lesnar to cash-in whenever he wants, and what show is bigger than WrestleMania.

The Beast and Paul Heyman have always touted Lesnar as the biggest attraction in WWE, and having Lesnar cash-in at the biggest show of them all would certainly be satisfying for both men.

There would also be some extra-satisfaction for Lesnar if he was to cash in on Rollins at Mania 36, one year after losing the title to the Architect, and five years after Rollins stole the WWE title by cashing in MITB.

#1: WWE Super Showdown

By this weekend, we could see a new WWE Universal Champion be crowned and his name: Brock Lesnar.

Though Super ShowDown is already shaping up to be a stacked show, the Beast Incarnate is noticeably absent from the card which includes major foes of Lesnar including Triple H, Goldberg and The Undertaker.

With Lesnar not announced for any matches, he could easily cash-in on the Universal Champion when Seth Rollins takes on Baron Corbin in Jeddah.

If so, this wouldn't even be the first time The Beast will have captured the title in Saudi Arabia, as he won the gold (thanks to an assist by Corbin himself), at last November's Crown Jewel pay per view in Riyadh.

Will history repeat itself this Friday and will the reign of the Architect come to an end at the hands of the Beast?
