Brock Lesnar made his shocking and unexpected return to the wrestling world at WWE SummerSlam, proving that his time in the wrestling business isn’t quite done yet. After attacking John Cena at the end of the premium live event, it’s clear that his first feud is going to be against the 17-time World champion, but beyond that, there’s a plethora of great WWE Superstars who would benefit from wrestling him.
Lesnar brings a level of intensity that few people can match, making a match against him distinct from anyone else. Lesnar has huge levels of star power, and that’s something that others should be able to get a rub from. Plus, Lesnar’s return sets up the possibility of some major dream matches that WWE can book for future events.

Jacob Fatu is someone who Brock Lesnar has never wrestled against, and that instantly makes it an appealing match for WWE to book. WWE is massively behind the Samoan Werewolf right now, with the company investing a lot in the former United States champion at the moment.
Now, as a babyface, he would be an ideal opponent for Lesnar to compete against as he appears to be back in WWE as a heel. Fatu is a hard-hitting wrestler who pulls no punches, with WWE portraying him as an extremely intense individual. As a result, fans would buy into him as a credible opponent for Lesnar.
Fatu is ready to make the move into the main event scene at this point, and a feud against Lesnar would be one way of achieving that. A match between them has the potential to be very exciting if done right, and hopefully, this will be one that WWE delivers on.

CM Punk and Brock Lesnar do have history together, but they’ve only ever had one match against each other. That was a fantastic encounter that remains one of the best of each man’s career. Therefore, revisiting that and adding another chapter would be a lot of fun, especially at this stage in their careers.
Seeing how both men have evolved would be interesting for fans, as a new match between them would certainly be done at a slower pace. However, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as it would be telling a different style of story if they were to have another match.
Punk is an expert seller who can draw fans into everything that he does, and Lesnar would push that side out of him. This would be a huge match to add to any premium live event, and is one that the WWE Universe would instantly be interested in.
Oba Femi

Oba Femi is one of the most exciting prospects in WWE NXT right now, and he’s someone who is very impressive from a physical perspective. He’s an intimidating figure who likes to dominate his opponents, but putting him against Brock Lesnar would be a different type of test due to the Beast Incarnate’s physicality.
It’s unknown when WWE intends to call Femi up to the main roster, but if the company is considering it, a feud against Lesnar would be an ideal way to make it happen. It would instantly put him on the map, and Femi is one of the few people who can genuinely match up to Lesnar in terms of size and physicality.
It would make for an interesting match, and that would be a good way of using Lesnar to help the future generation, which is what WWE should be doing with him at this stage in his career.
Bron Breakker

The current version of Bron Breakker shares many similarities with Brock Lesnar when he first burst onto the scene as the Next Big Thing. Breakker is intense, hard-hitting, and extremely athletic, which is what makes him so compelling to watch whenever he competes in the ring.
That’s one of the reasons why fans would love to see Breakker wrestle against Lesnar, as this would be a battle of two extremely physical athletes. It would guarantee an excellent match between them, and is something that would take Breakker to new heights.
A match against Lesnar has the potential to really elevate Breakker as a talent, with fans likely to take him even more seriously if he were able to defeat the former UFC star, which is the type of significant win he needs right now.
Sami Zayn

There are few greater babyfaces in the history of WWE than Sami Zayn, and that’s why he’d be a great person to book against Brock Lesnar. He’s someone who likes to dominate his opponents in the ring, spending the majority of his matches throwing them around with German suplexes to remain in control.
Zayn would ensure that they all looked good, and his over-the-top selling would only enhance that. He’d be a great sympathetic character that fans would get behind as he attempted to fire back against Lesnar, which would be entertaining to see.
Additionally, Lesnar tends to work better against smaller opponents, such as Zayn, who always brings out his magic inside the ring. Zayn has been built up to the point where he can be taken seriously in matches like this, which is why exploring this idea is worth considering.
