Brock Lesnar's last WWE appearance came in a loss against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36. McIntyre's win propelled him to new heights as he became the leading babyface of the RAW brand.

Needless to say, a victory over Lesnar at the Grandest Stage of Them All does wonders to one's career. McIntyre benefitted immensely from it but wasn't the sole name in consideration.

As per Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Aleister Black's name also did the rounds. However, WWE's creative team shunned him.

"In fact, in early 2020, he (Aleister Black) was one of the two people considered to beat Lesnar and win the WWE title at WrestleMania. Black and McIntyre were both being groomed but the decision was made by McMahon that McIntyre was the most over of the two and he got the title. Black’s fortunes changed when Heyman was removed from power shortly after WrestleMania," Meltzer wrote in his column.

Aleister Black's mystique makes him a unique WWE wrestler and fans would have loved to see him face Brock Lesnar. But, with Lesnar no longer contracted with the company, the likelihood of the two wrestlers facing each other is highly improbable in the near future.
