#5 Nobody wrestles Lesnar
The final option is to have no option, because right now, I think everybody else would be a mistake for one reason or another.
Shinsuke Nakamura is on SmackDown and will probably win the Royal Rumble, so he’s busy. Randy Orton already had his match. I certainly don’t want to see Bray Wyatt fight Lesnar. Baron Corbin is nowhere near ready for this spotlight. John Cena’s already faced Lesnar before. Matt Hardy just makes no sense. Big Cass is injured, and so on and so forth.
If it comes down to it and WWE can’t figure out a good enough challenger for the title, then I don’t want to see Lesnar fight at all.
A non-title match is stupid in my mind since we just saw that at Survivor Series and it seems like a waste of a Lesnar appearance. If you’re going to pay him, pay him to defend that title.
As much as I would rather see Lesnar do something, I’d pick the option of his absence over him doing something that I felt was going to eat up time on the show and not be entertaining.
Sometimes, the best course of action is to take no action, and this could very well be one of those times. However, if that’s the case, Lesnar needs to really up his game on the Road to WrestleMania to help sell his match with Reigns, rather than phone it in and expect all the work to have been done during the build to their last match years ago.
