Suplex City was burned to ashes at Survivor Series, and all it took was two spears and a jackhammer to tame the Beast Incarnate. Fans were left bewildered at the sight of Brock Lesnar slithering in pain, as Goldberg chants erupted in Air Canada Centre, Toronto.
Fantasy Warfare did become reality, but it came at the expense of Brock Lesnar. It murdered his credibility and made him look vulnerable after two years of strong bookings. While Survivor Series left a blemish on Lesnar’s career, a quick comeback for him is already being speculated. He needs a strong opponent, one that is yet to be conquered convincingly.
So which Superstar would do the honours for Lesnar, as he looks to restore his dominance over the roster?
In this list we look at the five wrestlers, who we believe can help Lesnar get his mojo back! So without further delay lets find out who they are!
#5 Rusev
The Bulgarian Brute is, in a way, a mirror image of the Beast Incarnate. He is the epitome of raw strength, and his gimmick of a Bulgarian bruiser can make him a compelling opponent for Brock Lesnar.
On top of that, Rusev is good on the mic and has that aura of a menacing Superstar. A good build to this bout can lead to a riveting encounter, and a show of strength is sure to follow. While Rusev has not been booked well, he has it in him to stand amongst the top stars.
He can legitimately match Lesnar in terms of sturdiness and put Lesnar over in a convincing fashion. While WWE would need to push Rusev outrageously before the big fall, it would do wonders in terms of monetary gains and also establish him as a top draw.
#4 Roman Reigns
Like it or not, Roman Reigns has been the poster boy of WWE ever since John Cena took a back seat. Not many Superstars have found their way past the Big Dog, and he hasn’t been defeated, one-on-one, clean (apart from the hands of Balor), in recent memory.
Therefore, he is the perfect candidate, as the fall of Roman Empire will surely reinstate Suplex City. The Beast has faced Reigns before, their one-on-one match at Wrestlemania 31, ended badly for both Superstars, as The Architect cashed in his Money in the Back contract, to end the match abruptly, with no clear winners.
Reigns has become a huge Superstar since then, and a victory over The Big Dog is exactly what Lesnar needs right now. Furthermore, it will make him a fan favourite, as Reigns is widely despised by the WWE Universe. It will also not hurt Roman’s momentum, as the man in question is Brock Lesnar.
#3 Kurt Angle
The proponent of ‘intensity, integrity and intelligence’ is soon to make a return to WWE and who could be a better opponent for him that Brock Lesnar himself. Their bout at Wrestlemania XIX was what established Lesnar as a top guy in the first place, and Angle wouldn't mind jobbing for the Beast once again.
Angle is a legend in the wrestling scene; he has the credentials and the technical know how to bring out the best in the beast. He can carry Lesnar throughout the match and even keep up with him, in terms of brute strength and physicality.
With Angle hitting the twilight of his pro-wrestling career, a bout with Brock Lesnar will be desirable for him as well. WWE should book this feud right away, and give fans a real fight, instead of a squash match. A well-worked bout between these two legends would elate the crowd, and make any PPV a colossal success.
#2 Kevin Owens
Kevin Owens is the man of the moment, his antics and theatrics have uplifted an otherwise lukewarm Monday Night Raw. He is a capable wrestler and a boss on the mic, and him calling out Lesnar on various occasions can finally culminate this feud.
On top of that, a title run for Lesnar can stimulate his current slump and Owens is the man who could do that for him. Kevin Owens has already mentioned his desire to take on the chancellor of Suplex City, and a feud between the two Superstars can do wonders for them.
While Lesnar will get his win, Owens can boast of getting in the ring with the beast, prematurely in his wrestling career.
Owens can match up to the physicality of Lesnar and carry him to the top of the pile. Furthermore, Owens is no stranger to bouts with high stakes and can keep up with any wrestler on the current roster. Lesnar crushing Owens at one of the PPVs is a sure shot way to re-establish the wrath of the beast.
#1 Braun Strowman
Is there anyone who deserves to top this list more than the former Wyatt Family enforcer, Braun Strowman? WWE has always been high on the Battle of the Powerhouses, and that is exactly what you get from this booking.
Strowman has been booked tremendously and has been an enigma at RAW, post brand split. The man has improved leaps and bounds and has become a force to be reckoned with, in recent history. He is decent on the mic and has that daunting aura, which makes him the top behemoth of the company.
If Brock Lesnar, can defeat him convincingly in a one-on-one battle, without any outside help. It can re-establish Lesnar’s dominance and can make his match with Goldberg, a distant memory.
