Brock Lesnar has been the most dominant Superstar in WWE for quite some time now and has won several major titles since his return in 2012. He has a special aura around him that very few on the main roster can match.
Lesnar has won the Universal Championship, WWE's most coveted prize, thrice over the last few years. He once held that title for 503 days before losing it to Roman Reigns, which is just another example of his undisputed dominance. Needless to say, such lengthy title reigns are unheard of on the main roster.
Lesnar defeated Kofi Kingston on SmackDown's premiere on Fox in a matter of seconds to win the WWE Championship. After the match, he met his new challenger Cain Velasquez accompanied by Rey Mysterio.
On October 31st, Lesnar will defend will the WWE Championship against the former MMA star Velasquez at Crown Jewel.
Despite all of Lesnar's positive attributes, there are quite a few negative aspects of having him as the Champion. Some fans despise him as he doesn't show up often leading to very few title matches.
His character has become stagnant since he's been doing the same work for several years, and fans want him to step away from the title scene. Hence, the fans would like to see someone else on the Blue brand to become the Champion instead.
Thus, here we look at three WWE Superstars who could defeat Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship.
#3. Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman is one of the most mishandled WWE Superstars in recent memory. The 'Monster Among Men' has been quite popular among fans for a long time but has always fallen short when it mattered. WWE's habit of building him up only to have him lose title matches has hurt him quite a bit.
At Clash of Champions, Strowman not only lost his Tag Team titles but also failed to win the Universal Championship. That halted his momentum yet again and slowed him down. To make things worse, he is set to face Tyson Fury at Crown Jewel on October 31st, a match that he may lose.
Strowman was drafted to SmackDown during the WWE draft, a move which indicates that WWE have fresh plans for him going forward. He can pick up a fight with Brock Lesnar and get into the title picture again. It is worth remembering that Strowman has lost to Lesnar on multiple occasions in the past. Thus, we might see him finally defeat the 'Beast Incarnate' to win the WWE Championship.
#2. Daniel Bryan
Most fans never expected Daniel Bryan to return to WWE after he had to retire due to injury. But not only did Bryan return but also scripted unseen success upon his comeback. He was the WWE Champion for several months before losing the title to Kofi Kingston at WrestleMania 35. It was one of the highlights of his illustrious career.
Bryan turned babyface and teamed up with Roman Reigns to take on the duo of Luke Harper and Erick Rowan at Hell in a Cell. This turn presents a wide array of opportunities for feuds going forward. During the recent WWE Draft, he was picked by SmackDown, a move that tells us that the company wants him to be one of the faces of the blue brand.
WWE could slowly slot him into a feud against Brock Lesnar come WrestleMania season. The two men share history as Lesnar defeated Bryan at Survivor Series 2018, and it could be used to propel the story of the underdog overcoming the Beast. It's the ultimate David vs. Goliath battle and fans would love to see Bryan win the match. It would make for an awesome WrestleMania moment and shake things up in WWE.
#1. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt
The Fiend, who is one of the most exciting characters in WWE, has lost quite a bit of steam lately. Despite being on a hot run for many months, WWE's questionable booking of his match at Hell in a Cell against Seth Rollins halted his momentum. Fans despised how the match went down and felt that The Fiend should have been victorious.
Wyatt attacked Rollins again on last week's SmackDown, to which Rollins responded by burning the Firefly Fun House down on this week's Raw. Subsequently, the two men will face-off again for the Universal Championship at Crown Jewel. Since Wyatt's a SmackDown superstar, it wouldn't make sense to have him win the title.
However, a loss could damage his reputation even more. To repair the damage, the company can give him a few victories before slotting him in the WWE Championship picture against Brock Lesnar. Defeating the 'Beast Incarnate' will give a lot of rub to Wyatt, and therefore, establish him as the Superstar that he is meant to be. It would hel The Fiend regain all the momentum that he lost at Hell in a Cell.
It would also lead to more intrigue in the product as fans want to see how The Fiend functions with a title. He's more than capable of making things interesting if given the opportunity.
