4 Brock Lesnar Dream Matches Which Weren't shown on TV or PPV

Brock Lesnar is one of the most popular professional wrestlers today. He is the current two-time Universal Champion, and he was the longest reigning champion in his first reign.

The Beast Incarnate made his main roster debut in 2002, right after Wrestlemania X8. He was billed as "The Next Big Thing" and was immediately given a monster push. Within 6 months of his main-roster arrival, he won the King of the Ring tournament and also became the youngest WWE Undisputed Champion at the age of 25.

Although Lesnar's first run with WWE was quite short and he left right after Wrestlemania XX, his 2-year stint on the main roster was quite an eventful one. He turned face and heel a couple of times and had a lot of interesting feuds and matches with the top Superstars of the company. He even became a 3-time WWE Champion and won his debut Royal Rumble match.

After Lesnar left WWE, he made an impact in Japanese Wrestling promotions and Universal Fighting Championship (MMA promotion). Lesnar became an even bigger star than he was when he left WWE. He eventually ended up returning to WWE in 2012.

This time however, he returned as a part-time performer. The Beast Incarnate has to show up around 20-30 times (or less) per year. Because of this, the WWE Universe hasn't seen Lesnar in a lot of matches in the last 6 years. He has only feuded with well-established Superstars like The Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena, Roman Reigns etc.

However, the WWE Universe has always wanted to see some dream matches featuring The Beast Incarnate squaring off against the up and coming Superstars or those Superstars who could give Lesnar a run for his money. Due to Lesnar's part-time status, we may never see those matches.

Surprisingly, some of these dream matches have already occurred. The reason why many of us haven't heard of them is because they weren't televised. These matches took place at Live Events (or House Shows). So, here are 4 Dream Matches involving Brock Lesnar which were given away on House Shows.

#4 Brock Lesnar vs. Rusev (2016)

Rusev is one of the most talented WWE Superstars on the main roster. Although he doesn't get the push he deserves, he never fails to impress in the ring.

When Rusev made his main roster debut in 2014, he was pushed as a monster heel. For nearly a year, he remained undefeated and defeated the likes of John Cena and Sheamus. After Cena defeated Rusev on 3 different occasions in 2015, Rusev's push was over. He became a mid-card talent.

However, it looked like things were once again starting to work out for the Bulgarian Brute when he received a significant push in 2016. This time however, his push was ended by Roman Reigns.

Due to Rusev's incredible run as a monster heel from 2014-2015 and again in 2016, the WWE Universe always wanted to see a match between The Beast Incarnate and The Bulgarian Brute.

Although the two never feuded, they had a match at a live event which took place in December 2016. However, this wasn't the dream match everyone was looking forward to as Lesnar demolished Rusev in under 3 minutes, and that was it!

#3 Brock Lesnar vs. Batista (2003)

Batista and Brock Lesnar were both called up to the main-roster from OVW (Ohio Valley Wrestling) in 2002 after Wrestlemania X8. While Lesnar was pushed immediately, Batista was given his due push as a top Superstar a little later.

Both Batista and Lesnar were among WWE's top Superstars during their first run with WWE. Both of them also made it big outside WWE. Lesnar became a dominant Mixed Martial Artist while Batista became a successful Hollywood star.

A match between these two monsters would have definitely happened if Lesnar hadn't left in 2004. Now, Batista plans on returning to the ring one more time to wrap up his in-ring career the right way. However, his dream opponent is Triple H. So, it looks like we may never see a Batista vs. Brock Lesnar match in the future.

Although we never got to see the two behemoths in a singles match on the main roster, they have crossed paths in Ohio Valley Wrestling and during a live event in early 2003, right before Batista got himself injured. Lesnar was the bigger star then, so it was logical for him to emerge victorious. We hope that WWE posts that match on WWE Network someday.

#2 Brock Lesnar vs. Kevin Owens (2017)

Kevin Owens made his WWE debut right before 2014 ended. Owens arrived in NXT and on his first night, he took out his real-life best friend, Sami Zayn, after Zayn had just won the NXT Championship. Owens then had a successful run in NXT as a monster heel, and even got called up to the main roster while he was the NXT Champion.

Owens kicked off his main roster career with a bang, and his feud with John Cena was one of the best feuds of 2015. It wasn't long before the WWE Universe started anticipating a dream match between Owens and Lesnar.

Although Owens' main roster run didn't turn out to be how his fans were expecting it to, he was once considered Brock Lesnar's successor as a violent beast who enjoys decimating his opponents. That didn't happen unfortunately.

However, a Brock Lesnar vs. Kevin Owens match still happened at a WWE Live Event on March 17th, 2017. Owens got some offence early on before Lesnar turned things around to win the match in around 2 minutes.

#1 Brock Lesnar vs. Sheamus (2017)

Sheamus, like Brock Lesnar, was given a monster push immediately after making his main roster debut in the Summer of 2009. Within months of his debut, he moved to Raw from ECW and became the WWE Champion before the year ended.

Sheamus defeated John Cena clean in a Tables match to become the first-ever Irish born WWE Champion. Sheamus has had a decorated career in WWE. Except for winning the Intercontinental Championship, there's hardly anything that the Celtic Warrior hasn't accomplished yet.

When Brock Lesnar returned in 2012, Sheamus was the World Heavyweight Champion and in the middle of his career's biggest push. A dream match between two of the best brawlers in WWE was suggested by various members of the WWE Universe, but the two were kept far away from each other. They eventually ended up battling each other at a live event on September 30th, 2017.

The match, which was for the Universal Championship, lasted nearly 7 minutes and both Superstars got their share of the offence before Lesnar won the match to retain his title.
