Last month at WWE Summerslam, we finally saw Brock Lesnar drop the WWE Universal Championship after having one of the longest championship reigns in WWE history. Of course, this was entirely expected as Lesnar made it publicly known that he has every intention of making a return to the UFC.

It was widely anticipated that Lesnar would lose the title at WrestleMania 34 to Roman Reigns. Shockingly, Lesnar retained the title which led to many questions as to his current status within the WWE. News then broke that he had signed a new contract with WWE and that he would still be sticking around for the next few months.

It is clear that the WWE have invested a lot in Lesnar and that they want the superstar to remain as a part of the WWE in any capacity which they can have him. This is also a huge reason as to why Lesnar has received such preferential treatment and has been the exception to so many rules which the WWE holds strictly in place for so many of its other superstars.

Lesnar's run as Universal champion was exciting in the beginning but his limited appearances eventually made his reign become tedious. There was no thrill, no excitement and it seemed that he was destined to be Roman Reigns rival and nothing more.

He is currently busy with the UFC at the moment and will be for the next few months. However, his return to the WWE provides the company with an opportunity to get him involved in some new and exciting feuds as well as to bring some new talent into the spotlight.

Lesnar does have some unfinished business within the WWE and this article will take a look at 5 WWE superstars who Lesnar should face on his return to the WWE.

#1 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar have clashed before, but the role which Strowman had at WWE Summerslam which caused Lesnar to drop the title last month means that the two monsters have some unfinished business.

Strowman has looked like a legitimate contender to Lesnar each and every time the two have faced off and the sad reality is that audiences always knew that Lesnar would get the win due to WWE wanting Reigns to be the one to dethrone Lesnar.

The two facing off for more personal reasons or reasons other than just winning the title would result in the two superstars going at it all out with each other and could see Strowman cement his place as a dominant superstar.

#2 Bobby Lashley

Lesnar facing off against Lashley was a match which was initially rumored for Summerslam but which sadly did not materialize. The WWE would do well to correct this upon Lesnar's return to the company as a clash between these two power houses would be thrilling to watch.

Lashley hasn't been used very well in recent weeks and risks falling away into the mid card if the WWE don't do something to boost his momentum. A great way to do this would be to have him face off against Lesnar.

A Lesnar vs Lashley match is the type of match which has WrestleMania appeal and this could be a great occasion to make it happen between these two if Lesnar is back in the WWE by then. Either way, Lashley would make a formidable opponent and one which could take Lesnar to his limits.

#3 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens might be a surprise name on this list but a match between Lesnar and Owens would be exciting and thrilling to watch.

Owens is a typical brawler much like Lesnar and is not afraid to take the fight to anyone. The WWE made a huge mistake at Summerslam when they allowed Owens to get squashed by Strowman the way he did as he is a much better wrestler than most and deserves more.

A feud with Lesnar would be great for Owens as well as it would position him as a serious contender and not someone who only serves to have the random feud here and there. Owens is one superstar who can definitely get the better of even Paul Heyman on the mic so it would make for interesting viewing having him collide with Lesnar.

#4 Bobby Roode

Bobby Roode is one superstar who has not been used well at all since moving to Raw and fans would be forgiven for forgetting that he is indeed part of the roster. This has been due to his poor booking and meaningless feuds.

Facing a huge name like Lesnar would be a big step for Roode to make but it is one which would make for thrilling viewing if the WWE gets it right. They would have to first build Roode up again so that he can be viewed as a serious threat to Lesnar, but once that happens there is no doubt that he can take Lesnar to his limits.

#5 Finn Balor

Finn Balor could use a bit of a push at the moment. It is clear that fans love him and the WWE booking him in meaningless feuds is doing a lot to hurt the momentum which he had when he got into the WWE.

From a pure size and power point of view, the odds would not be in favor of Balor posing any threat to Lesnar. However, Balor is a tremendous athlete and could push Lesnar to his limits in a match.

It would be even more thrilling to watch Lesnar having to face Balor's demon persona which has an incredible track record of winning matches for him. This provides a more supernatural element to the feud and would be somewhat reminiscent of the feud which Lesnar had against The Undertaker.
