Who can get the chance to face him?

The Universal Championship is the biggest and the most prestigious title in the WWE. In last year's WrestleMania, Brock Lesnar defeated the WWE legend Goldberg to win the belt in what was one of the most predictable segments which the WWE has had to offer in recent years.

After winning the title in last year's WrestleMania, Lesnar has successfully defended his title against the likes of Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman, Kane, and Roman Reigns.

Lesnar is a beast and his in-ring talents are second to none. The biggest problem is that he is a part-timer.

So from the WWE's point of view, it makes no sense to keep the belt with someone who doesn’t make regular appearances. Expect a title change happening sometime soon.

WWE had announced a six-pack challenge match to determine the no.1 contender to face Brock Lesner. Roman Reigns and Bobby Lashley already secured two spots and that leaves us to with four spots to fill.

Here are the four superstars who could be in the six pack challenge match.


#1Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins is at best of his entire career.

Seth Rollins is the biggest babyface on RAW. He recently lost his Intercontinental Championship and is now free to enter in main events. Rollins is a fan favourite and deserves to be in contention for the top prize in the WWE.

The Kingslayer has been on a roll recently and it is the right time for the WWE to give him a much-deserved push. Rollins' athleticism against the muscle power of Lesnar promises to be an edge of the seat encounter.

Both Rollins and Lesnar squared off against one another on Battleground three years ago. The match ended in a disqualification.

This time the story is different Seth is an exceptional performer and has become more mature. Potentially, Rollins would be the underdog but he has everything in his arsenal to conquer the Beast.

#2 Kevin Owens

Kevin Owens needs a strong push.

Kevin Owens was a former Universal Champion. He lost his title to Goldberg about a year ago.

Last year, Kevin Owens moved from RAW to SmackDown - ‘The land of opportunities’. However, the move did not go down well with Owens.

Kevin Owens was booked in many useless bouts with his buddy Sami Zayn by his side. Someone with the calibre of Kevin Owens certainly deserves all the spotlight.

Kevin was drafted back to Monday Night RAW to reshape his career. This is the perfect time to bring Owens into the title picture. Kevin Owens is a tremendous performer and his excellent work with the mic makes him a potential candidate for the championship.

He really needs a push in main event picture to prove himself. He does have the skills and the WWE officials should use that skill very smartly.

#3 Finn Balor

Finn Balor was the first Universal Champion. He had a roller-coaster ride but unfortunately, he had to surrender his title due to injury.

It seems that payback time has finally arrived for Finn. Since his return to the ring, Finn has been a top performer, he picked things up where he left off. It is the right time for the WWE to give him a shot at the title.

A match between the powerful beast and the high-flying machine is a scintillating concept. It has all the ingredients to be a classic match. The Demon-King avatar of Finn Balor could be utilized to make the build-up more interesting.

Moreover, Balor is a huge fan favourite, and he will have the WWE universe on his side. This could be an important factor which would help Balor to take part in the match and comes into the main event picture. The WWE could top it off by giving Balor a good run with the belt.

#4 Elias

Elias debuted for NXT in 2014 and eventually progressed to the Raw brand. On RaW Elias has garnered immense popularity through his excellent character efforts.

Nearly every week fans witness Elias performing on his guitar and degrading the home crowd. Overall, his character is achieving huge reactions from the audience.

WWE has afforded time and effort into Elias in recent months. Moreover, they have inserted him into stellar storylines. Although he worked with Braun Strowman, he deserves a decent spot to shine.

Therefore WWE could place Elias in this match. Summarily, Elias has solid credentials to be in the match. Could WWE play it out in this way by adding him in the six pack challenge match?
