Brock Lesnar is one of WWE's most intimidating and fearsome wrestlers in the history of the company. His physicality, his presence and his in-ring ability make the "Beast" simply terrifying.
Lesnar is one of the few wrestlers who can pick and choose when he wants to appear for the company. His part-time schedule makes him an attraction and a massive draw for WWE.
The "Beast Incarnate" hasn't been seen since WrestleMania 36 when he lost the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre. But with the Royal Rumble right around the corner, there is no better time for the "Conqueror" to return. When Lesnar does come back to WWE, there is no shortage of opponents wanting to step up and take on the former champion.
Beating Brock Lesnar would be a major career-making moment for whoever vanquishes the "Beast". In this article, we look at five WWE Superstars who want to fight Brock Lesnar.
#5 Bobby Lashley wants to fight Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley have never gone one-on-one in a WWE ring, which is a crime against wrestling and a disservice to fans all over the world.
A clash between the "Beast" and the "Destroyer" would be a feast for the eyes. Both are legitimate fighters with serious MMA credentials, which would create the perfect "worked shoot" type of match that would be an unpredictable and violent affair. Because of each fighter's attributes, Lashley and Lesnar's battle has long been on the list of dream matches for many fans.
But longtime fans are not the only ones who want to see these two behemoths go at it in the squared circle. The "Almighty" Bobby Lashley also wants to take on the "Beast Incarnate". The current United States Champion took to Twitter to answer a fan who expressed their desire to see Lashley and Lesnar have a match.
Lashley replied to the tweet saying:
"Once I'm done taking out this Brock wannabe, as I've said for YEARS, I'll take Lesnar whenever, wherever."
In the reply, Lashley declares that he has wanted to fight Brock Lesnar for years. Hopefully, the WWE Universe gets to witness an epic battle of the beasts when Lesnar returns.
#4 Jeff Hardy wants to face Brock Lesnar in his final match
Brock Lesnar and Jeff Hardy are both WWE veterans with a storied history. Hardy was Lesnar's first-ever opponent in WWE way back in 2002 and the "Enigmatic Enigma" wants to face the "Beast Incarnate" in his final match for the company.
During an interview with Corey Graves on After the Bell, Hardy said the following about facing Lesnar in his last match:
"That’s one more thing, I would love to get my a** kicked by him [Lesnar] again because he’s just intimidating and insanely gifted. To be as successful as he was in the MMA world, he’s amazing. That would be interesting, man. Maybe that could be my last match. I was his first match, he could be my last match."
A match between the "Ultimate Risk-taker" and the "Beast" would be a treat for the WWE Universe. Lesnar, with his power and brute force, meshes well with Hardy's speed, agility and daredevil style.
If the WWE legends were to clash, then WWE would have to implement the build as soon as possible. Hardy is coming up to the end of his career, and Lesnar only wrestles whenever he wants to. Hopefully, fans get to see one last match between these two before they both ride off into the sunset.
#3 Big E wants to fight Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar and Big E going one-on-one in the ring would be a brilliant battle between two of WWE's most exciting "big men".
As Intercontinental Champion, Big E is beginning to the get the singles run so many WWE fans have been wanting for years. Those who are aware of his NXT run know just what he can do as the "top guy" on a brand. A feud and match with the "Beast" would do wonders for Big E to show everyone on the main roster that he is WWE's next main event player.
The WWE Universe would welcome a match between Big E and Brock Lesnar for many reasons. Firstly it would be a battle of suplexes. Both competitors have an array of different suplexes in their respective arsenals, and it would be very refreshing to see Lesnar on the receiving side of a few German and Overhead Belly-to-Belly suplexes.
Secondly, the calibre of Lesnar would most certainly bring out the "serious" side of Big E that he has been criticised for not showing. Thirdly, this would be a new and fresh match-up/feud. Big E and Lesnar have only crossed paths briefly, but given the time to get physical in the ring, we would be in for a heavyweight battle for the ages. Or as Big E would put it "big meaty men slapping meat".
During an interview with Table Talk, Big E picked Brock Lesnar as his dream opponent, saying:
"We have done some stuff with Brock Lesnar. I haven't had an official match with Brock, but if forced to pick one, maybe Brock. Let's say, Brock."
If Lesnar is to return, then the former multi-time tag team champion will be waiting for him.
#2 Keith Lee wants to fight Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar and Keith Lee would be a battle of the super heavyweights, a clash of two WWE titans. Fans got a small taster of a potential matchup between the two giants at last year's Royal Rumble and judging by the crowd response the WWE Universe liked what they saw.
One of the complaints fans have about Brock Lesnar matches is that they are one dimensional. Five suplexes, F-5 and pin. A match like this would be impossible against an opponent such as Keith Lee. Sure, Lesnar has faced "big men" before, but nothing like the "Limitless One".
Lee is a big man who does big man things, but Lee is also a big man who does astonishing things. But, Lesnar is also capable of similar incredible things. Meaning these two will put on a match that will seriously blow the minds of all who witness it.
In a recent interview with Essential Sports Lee spoke about his interesting confrontation with the "Beast Incarnate" at last year's Royal Rumble. Here's what he had to say:
“Oh yes, and I put him [Lesnar] on his back. So, we’ll…..we’ll see what happens, we’ll see what happens.”
If Brock Lesnar is to return at this year's Royal Rumble then another interaction between the two warriors at the event would be another amazing spectacle.
#1 Riddle wants to fight and retire Brock Lesnar
Riddle has called out Brock Lesnar for years, but the WWE Universe is yet to see the two former UFC fighters interact in WWE.
If we are talking about dream matches, then this would be it. Riddle has continuously called out Lesnar, stating that he wants to retire him. If there was anyone able to accomplish such a considerable achievement, then Riddle is your man.
The dynamic of the feud would be excellent. Riddle as the mouthy, cocky and cool customer vs Lesnar’s take-no-bull attitude would be just as entertaining out of the ring as it would within it. Both have legitimate MMA fighting credentials, and if the two were to meet in the ring, we would most certainly be in for an interesting encounter.
Despite a match between the two fighters being a mouth-watering battle, it seems that Riddle's persistence to get Brock Lesnar in the ring got him into trouble. During an interview with TalkSPORT Riddle spoke about a confrontation with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar backstage at last year's Royal Rumble:
“Eventually, I find out I’m going to be in the Rumble. Now I’m stoked! I’m like ‘what if I get my chance!’ [with Brock Lesnar]."
Riddle's chance to finally meet the "Beast" in the ring was quickly dashed when Lesnar approached him before the match:
“Then, of course, Heyman and his security guard come up to me and basically told me I had no chance in hell – it was very Vince McMahon like – no chance in hell that I was going to get that match with him and I’d have better luck doing something else. And I’ll be honest, at first, I was just like awww, I got this far and you’re literally holding me like this. Like, he’s holding me like we’re friends but we’re not. And then he [Lesnar] tells me “it’s never going to happen.”
Since this altercation, Riddle made his main roster debut and has become a significant part of Monday Night RAW. Therefore, the chances of Riddle and Brock Lesnar going one-on-one may have improved.
