Gunther and 3 other WWE stars who are dream opponents for Brock Lesnar if he returns in 2024

Brock Lesnar has been missing from WWE television for a while, but Triple H has already told the public that he is still with the company. Although it's still unknown if he will appear in 2024, several stars could already be strong contenders to be his next challenger.

Fans last saw Brock Lesnar on WWE television at last year's SummerSlam, wherein Cody Rhodes defeated him after an intense trilogy. Reports then stated that he was supposed to return for the 2024 Royal Rumble, but this may have been put on hold after being linked with Vince McMahon's lawsuit with Janel Grant. Triple H has since stated that The Beast Incarnate is not gone from the company, but it's still unknown when he will return as he is still waiting for the green signal from the company's legal team.

If Brock Lesnar returns to WWE in 2024, four dominant superstars could already be ready to face The Beast.

#4. Gunther vs. Brock Lesnar was reportedly supposed to happen at WrestleMania 40

Royal Rumble is one way for WWE to tease eventual feuds and matches in the coming months by having superstars face off in the match. One that hyped the fans was between Gunther and Brock during the 2023 edition.

A dream match between the two has been teased for a while. They are scary characters to share the ring with and have a very physical in-ring style. The match between both was reportedly set for WrestleMania 40, but The Beast's status prevented this. However, many fans still want to watch this clash take place in the future.

#3. Ilja Dragunov vs. Brock Lesnar would be a brutal match

Another superstar with the same dominant and physical wrestling style as Lesnar is Ilja Dragunov. He is one of the few stars who defeated Gunther and recently joined the main roster. Although a newcomer to the RAW brand, he proved he can perform well against former world champions.

The thought of Dragunov vs. Lesnar has excited fans since last year, with many expressing interest in how violent the match between both men could turn out.

#2. Jacob Fatu could be a good opponent for Brock Lesnar

One superstar who has recently joined the Stamford-based promotion is Jacob Fatu. With just two appearances, he has proven to be a vital asset for The Bloodline. However, WWE could ensure that his character will only be strengthened if he goes against Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar has a long history with The Bloodline, which could already be a factor in their feud. Interestingly, both men are also known for their strong style and for their athleticism and agility.

#1. Bron Breakker is wreaking havoc on WWE RAW

Bron Breakker made a name for himself on Monday Night RAW by dominating his opponents and placing himself against well-known names. This is one reason why he now has an upcoming Intercontinental Championship match with Sami Zayn. However, one star who could match his intensity is Lesnar.

Both men possess the same athleticism and dominance despite their stature. Their intimidating character could also be compared to each other. This could also be Brock's way of "passing the torch" to Breakker.
