5 potential feuds for 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar in his new WWE contract

Now that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar is staying with the WWE, it's acceptable to fantasize about what possible feuds "The Beast" has in store for the WWE Universe in the coming years.Lesnar appeared on ESPN SportsCenter on Tuesday to announce that Vince McMahon made him an offer that he couldn't refuse during Monday Night RAW in Los Angeles this week, leading to him signing a multi-year deal to stay with the company."The Beast" had contemplated a return to the Octagon and was training hard for a UFC comeback, but he told the program that while the fighter in him wanted to return, the father and husband in him knew his time in the MMA realm had come to an end.Lesnar, a former UFC Heavyweight champion will now set his sights on Sunday night where he defends the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Roman Reigns at the WWE's marquee event, WrestleMania 31, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. Lesnar had a contract dispute with the WWE and even walked out on an episode of RAW last month, but now that it's all behind and a deal has been made, here are five possible feuds for "The Beast" going forward in the WWE.Now that Lesnar is a mainstay in the WWE, it has opened up the door for several possible feuds after the road to WrestleMania 31 winds down.

#1 Lesnar as a heel: Daniel Bryan

Due to Bryan's untimely neck injury, the rumored match between the two for SummerSlam last August was scrapped and Lesnar took on John Cena instead. Bryan has often said how much he wants to battle Lesnar and he was hopeful to get that opportunity at WrestleMania.

Now that it won't happen this Sunday night, the WWE has ample opportunity to build toward "The Beard vs. The Beast" down the line with Lesnar signing his new contract.

#2 Lesnar as a heel: Sting

This one could be a long-shot, but now that "The Vigilante" and "The Beast" are both under contract with the WWE, they could potentially cross paths. If Sting goes over Triple H at WrestleMania, "The Game" could always stick Lesnar on him as a mercenary.

Lesnar could talk about how he nearly finished The Undertaker off when he ended The Streak last year and threaten to do the same to Sting.

#3 Lesnar as a face: Rusev

The reigning United States Champion may be gearing up to lose his title to John Cena on Sunday, but his feud with the "Cenation" leader has helped launch him into becoming a serious threat atop the WWE ranks.

Seeing these two massive Superstars clash would be very entertaining based on their sheer size alone. Lesnar doesn't have to take the patriotic approach that Cena has to their feud as Rusev could simply instigate a feud with him to prove he is the most dominant athlete in the WWE.

#4 Lesnar as a face: Bray Wyatt

"The Eater of Worlds" is looking to join Lesnar as the only men to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania this Sunday, and there could be a future feud between the two down the line.

This one could work either way, with Wyatt as a face or Lesnar as the good guy, but Wyatt's character works better as a tweener that leans toward being a villain. The magic that could be made between Wyatt and Paul Heyman on the microphone alone could make this feud truly extraordinary, while a bout between two Superstars the caliber of Lesnar and Wyatt would also be fun to watch.

#5 Lesnar as a face: Seth Rollins

"Mr. Money in the Bank" showed he had some chemistry with Lesnar during the Triple Threat Match with the pair and John Cena at the Royal Rumble in January, which is an early Match of the Year candidate. With Lesnar being a part-time WWE Superstar and Rollins being the top heel when Lesnar isn't around, the two could easily feud over who "The Man" really is in the WWE upon a Lesnar face turn.

If "The Beast" escapes WrestleMania as WWE World Heavyweight Champion, it's an insta-feud due to Rollins holding the Money in the Bank briefcase. The clash of styles between the speedy Rollins and powerful Lesnar would make for some great matches.
