Will we see Brock Lesnar in WWE after WrestleMania 35?

Is there anything that hasn't been said about Brock Lesnar? The man is an absolute freak of nature and there is no denying of the fact that men like Brock Lesnar don't come very often.

So strong, so quick and most importantly so dangerous, Brock is one of a kind and the WWE Universe will surely miss the beast once he's gone.

Brock is not a face, nor is he a heel. The man is an absolute monster who just knows one thing and that is to beat up people, hurt them, suplex them and if they have anything left in their tank, then F5 them once, twice or more until they are down for good.

He is the longest reigning Universal Champion of all-time, a former UFC champion, NCAA heavyweight champion and the list goes on and on. A book can be written on the wrestler from Minnesota which will simply outlay the path of destruction created by Brock Lesnar in his historic career.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

One important chapter in that book is going to be his iconic rivalries in WWE. The Beast has faced some of the biggest names in the history of the game and it won't be wrong to say that he managed to conquer most of them.

From The Undertaker to Triple H, Brock's list of rivalries is mighty impressive. But when we look at that list and then cross-check it with the list of current superstars, there come a few names which make us wonder what if Brock battled them? What if Brock was booked against any one of them?

Here we rank 4 superstars from the current roster who would've been ideal opponents for Brock Lesnar:

#4 Sheamus

The Celtic Warrior is one of the most athletic men on the roster. The great Irishman has been one of the top European stars in the company and his CV is nothing short of brilliant. From his epic feuds with the legends like Triple H, John Cena, Randy Orton and more to his achievements in competitions like Royal Rumble and King of the Ring, Sheamus has been tremendous for the company.

Not many men boast physical qualities like that of Sheamus and it quite a mystery how The Great White would've fared against the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.

Brock Lesnar is a dominating performer who likes to beat people for fun but dominating the Celtic warrior isn't an easy task. Sheamus is tough, quick and most importantly vicious; it's like Brock's cousin from Europe had been in the company for all these years.

Brock Lesnar and Sheamus would've formed a tremendous rivalry and it's a shame that the only time they fought was at a house show.

#3 Bobby Lashley

When Bobby Lashley made his high profile return in 2018, it was expected that the Almighty would be squaring off against the Beast Incarnate. The prospect of Lashley going against Brock was tempting and the WWE Universe was excited to watch these 2 behemoths collide.

Lashley has had a similar background like Brock and it's no secret that 2 men are absolute freaks of nature. The Almighty has every ingredient needed to be a worthy opponent for Brock Lesnar.

Both men have been into MMA and it does spice up the things. Ever since Bobby Lashley returned to the company, the fans have wanted The Almighty to have a singles feud with the Beast Incarnate.

Lashley has had a mixed run so far. His connection with the fans hasn't been great and it's clear that he is not considered for the main event picture in near future. With Brock seem to have made his decision about a UFC return, its a shame we won't be witnessing these 2 powerhouses battle.

#2 Cesaro

The Swiss Superman is surely one of the most underrated performers on the roster. Often acknowledged as one of the strongest guys in the WWE, Cesaro is a genetically gifted superstar.

The perfect combination of speed, strength and agility, Cesaro belongs to a rare breed of superstars who can wrestle almost anyone with ease owing to their supreme physical qualities.

If Brock has dozens of suplexes in his arsenal then Cesaro has got a wide array of uppercuts which will surely trouble any opponent. While the Swiss Superman has been impressive in tag teams, his singles run hasn't been terrific.

When we look at Cesaro's enormous potential it just proves that the member of The Bar is surely a worthy candidate for a massive push which might open gates to a special singles run.

And if a push is what we're talking about then it doesn't get any bigger than going toe-to-toe with the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.

#1 Drew McIntyre

And on number 1 we have the Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre. Drew is like a picture-perfect opponent for the Beast Incarnate and the world knows that these two monsters will put on a 5-star match if given a chance.

Very few men can match Brock power for power and strike for strike, and Drew is one of them. The Scottish Psychopath has been on a run ever since he made his high profile return in 2018 and since that point, the superstar has been moving up the ladder.

The thought of Brock taking Drew to the Suplex City only to be at the receiving end of some devastating claymore kicks is enticing. The thing with Brock Lesnar is that there is just one-way brutalization simply because the Beast is a rampant force, so to pit him against a man as dangerous as Drew makes a lot of sense considering the attributes of Drew McIntyre.

With Brock UFC bound and his future with the company still in doubt, this massive rivalry might stay as a fantasy only.
