Brock Lesnar is one of the most accomplished performers in the history of professional wrestling. Be it WWE or UFC, Lesnar has proved his mettle on multiple occasions beating the who's who of the industry. His countless achievements include breaking The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania 31 and being the longest reigning champion of the modern era with 474+ days.

In spite of being a talented workhorse who gives his everything in the ring, Lesnar's current run has become pale in compared to his previous ones. Only a handful of appearances since the last year has left fans wondering if Brock is the rightful holder of the most coveted title of WWE, the Universal Championship.
There's no denying that Brock Lesnar might be in his last run as a wrestler. With him moving into the back end of his career, a few wrestlers are more than capable of retiring the "beast" and take his position as the next Brock Lesnar of WWE.
Some fans would be happy to see him go, some not so much. But one thing is for sure; Brock Lesnar has created an everlasting impact on WWE and the whole wrestling industry. With that being said, here are four wrestlers who can end Brock Lesnar's career.
Honourable Mention: Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt - Despite being two of the best wrestlers in the company, Finn Balor and Bray Wyatt have slowly dropped from the main event scene to mid-tier. While the former was the inaugural Universal Champion who is yet to have a rematch for the same, Wyatt has had his share of problems with Lesnar, and a retirement match would give him the chance to once again rise to the occasion against a legend.
#4 Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley returned to WWE after a gap of almost 12 years and received a thunderous pop from the fans. After a meaningless feud with Sami Zayn, Lashley has now climbed to the main event scene with him picking a victory against Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules earlier this month.
The only barrier that stands between Lashley and the Universal Championship is Brock Lesnar. Both powerhouses share similar backgrounds in MMA, and fans are eagerly waiting to see the two superstars finally collide.
Lesnar, with his part-time status, hasn't been as appealing and captivating as he earlier used to be. WWE needs a new beast, and Lashley can supposedly serve the purpose by retiring Brock Lesnar and becoming the new badass villain of the company.
#3 Roman Reigns
The supposed poster boy of WWE, Roman Reigns has achieved whatever there is to be in the company in an extremely short time. Already a grand slam champion in six years in WWE, Roman is one of the most underrated performers when it comes to in-ring skills.
"The Big Dog" had a relatively prominent 2017 with memorable rivalries against Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, and Samoa Joe. Although he fell short of victory at a plethora of occasions against Brock Lesnar, it is all building up to a moment where Reigns finally defeats Lesnar and becomes the new Universal Champion.
Despite putting on stellar performances week after week, Roman's push hasn't been going too well with the WWE Universe. If he were to turn heel and end the career of Brock Lesnar, his heel turn would undoubtedly garner an immense reaction from the fans and would cement his position as the top draw of the industry.
#2 Samoa Joe
Samoa Joe's arrival to WWE made headlines as he was already a household name among wrestling fans due to his tenure in ROH and TNA. After a dominating run in NXT, his call-up on the main roster was met with a tremendous ovation from the crowd. 2017 was a noteworthy year for the "Samoan Submission Machine" as he has memorable feuds with the likes of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.
Though Joe ended up on the losing side against Lesnar the first time they met in the WWE ring, there's no denying that he brought out the best in the Universal Champion, and at times it felt that Jow truly had his number.
Samoa Joe is one of the most technically sound wrestlers in WWE today, and to build his momentum as the villainous heel that he portrays, sending Brock Lesnar into retirement would be the perfect way to start off his legacy.
#1 Braun Strowman
If his current booking is any standard, Braun Strowman is bound to be the next big thing in WWE. The "Monster among Men" has left all the competition behind to become the single best performer in WWE today. Be it Big Show, Roman Reigns, or Kevin Owens, Strowman has had astounding matches with everyone and has won numerous accolades in a relatively short span of time in the company.
To be an even bigger star of the pro-wrestling business, retiring Brock Lesnar should be the ultimate move for Strowman. He represents last class of giant wrestlers and has successfully carried on the legacy of Andre The Giant, Kane, and Show among others.
Having an unfinished business with Lesnar, Strowman retiring the "Beast Incarnate" will unquestionably make him one of the greatest of all time. At just 34, the 2018 MITB winner is the guaranteed future of WWE.
