Lesnar had defeated Rollins at last month's Extreme Rules PPV, but his reign was ended in under a month by the Beast Slayer. With Lesnar losing his Universal title at SummerSlam, what could he do next in WWE?

Let's take a look at 4 things Brock Lesnar could do after SummerSlam loss to Seth Rollins:

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE


#4 Feud with Bobby Lashley

This match has been a long time coming: Bobby Lashley vs Brock Lesnar - a "dream" match for many WWE fans - and possibly Lesnar's last remaining dream match in WWE. Both Superstars have had similar journeys, wrestling in both MMA and WWE, and being pushed in WWE.

While Lashley may have not hit the heights of Lesnar, he has still had a good career in pro wrestling. Lashley and Lesnar have never faced each other in WWE as they weren't in the promotion at the same time.

Lashley has previously spoken about his desire to face The Beast and revealed that the first time they met each other was at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia in 2018.

Lashley said last year that he wanted to face Lesnar for the title or even a non-title match: "Of course I want the title but of course I want that match against Brock. I mean anything... I could post pictures of my kids online and people comment, 'We want you to fight Brock' That's been happening for the last 12 years, so of course I want that match. And if Roman beats Brock for that title before I have a chance to get to Brock, then I still want that match and then I want the title." (H/T WrestlingInc)

Lashley is currently injured and a return date hasn't been revealed yet.

#3 Move to SmackDown Live

WWE's blue brand, SmackDown Live, is moving to Fox in October, and various reports have revealed that WWE wants to bring in big-name Superstars to SmackDown, which will move to Friday nights.

WWE could perhaps move Lesnar to SmackDown Live before the switch to Fox, which will probably see him be away from television for the next two months or so. Lesnar was a huge hit on SmackDown in the early part of his career which was where he really made a name for himself.

A move for Lesnar to SmackDown could set-up some exciting feuds with the likes of Aleister Black, Lars Sullivan, and Kevin Owens, or even Superstars like Daniel Bryan and Shinsuke Nakamura.

WWE needs to freshen things up with the Lesnar character and a move to the blue brand could be the right direction to take his gimmick.

#2 Return at Crown Jewel

Brock Lesnar has been a part of two of the three Saudi Arabia PPVs, missing just the Super ShowDown PPV that happened in June earlier this year.

It seems that The Beast will be a constant fixture on the Saudi Arabia PPVs due to huge money that Superstars are reportedly paid for these shows. Lesnar has wrestled at the big shows this year, including Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, and now SummerSlam, and it's quite certain that he will wrestle at Crown Jewel too.

The Saudi Arabia PPV will be held on October 31, which gives him and WWE ample time to be involved in a new feud with a Superstar other than Rollins. WWE could perhaps set up a match between Lesnar and a WWE legend as the past Saudi Arabia PPVs have featured legends like Kane, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, and Goldberg.

#1 Rematch with Seth Rollins

Seth Rollins won back the Universal title from Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam, winning the Universal Championship for the second time after WrestleMania 35. Rollins and Lesnar have feuded on and off in 2019 and that could possibly continue a few more times in 2019.

Lesnar has been in and around the Universal title for a long time in WWE, and I wonder if WWE will use him in a feud that doesn't have the Universal title on the line. There aren't too many Superstars on RAW that could take the title off Rollins (apart from Lesnar) in the near future and I forsee The Beastslayer keeping hold of the title closely over the next few months.

Perhaps Lesnar and Rollins will have a rematch at Crown Jewel, where the storyline goes in a different direction. Only time will tell...
