5 Possible opponents for Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35

At Crown Jewel, Brock Lesnar squashed Braun Strowman to win back the Universal Championship. He hit Strowman with multiple F5s and the fifth F5 did the work for him and 'The Beast Incarnate' became the first ever two time Universal Champion.

It was perhaps the most controversial and shocking decision WWE made at Crown Jewel. Due to this, WWE received massive backlash from fans around the world. According to reports, Lesnar will face Daniel Cormier in a UFC fight early next year. He might even walk into the octagon as the reigning Universal Champion.

It is almost certain that Lesnar will be the Universal Champ till Wrestlemania 35, so the question arises who will face Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. WWE is booking many Superstars very strongly, and all of them have a huge amount of talent but only one can face Lesnar at Wrestlemania so in this article, I have listed five possible opponents who could face Lesnar at Wrestlemania. So Let's Begin.

#5 Bobby Lashley

'The Dominator' needs a huge push.

Bobby Lashley's recent run has disappointed fans around the globe. The fans expected that Lashley will be a monster and will decimate any competition that comes in the way but the reality is completely opposite. Since his return, he has been involved in meaningless mid-card feuds.

His recent pairing with Lio Rush has helped him a little bit but he requires a major push to get his career back on track. A match against Lesnar can help him a lot and by booking Lashley vs. Lesnar, WWE could also finally give us MMA/WWE crossover fans the dream match in a WWE ring.

Also, Lashley himself has stated in various interviews that facing Lesnar was one of the reasons why he came back to the WWE and that he was really saddened that he still hasn't been able to have a match with Brock Lesnar.

Lesnar Vs Lashley is a big money match and needs to happen on the grandest stage possible and there is no bigger stage in WWE than WrestleMania.

#4 Dave Bautista

Can WWE shock us all by setting up a match between ' The Beast' and 'The Animal'

Batista made his much-anticipated return to the WWE at SmackDown 1000 as a part of Evolution, where Batista took a dig at Triple H and hinted that a match could happen between 'The Animal' and 'The Cerebral Assasin' at WrestleMania 35.

But Triple H tore his pectoral muscle during his tag team match against the Undertaker and Kane at Crown Jewel. It currently looks like the match between Triple H and Batista will not happen next year. This opens up an opportunity for the WWE to pit up Batista against Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 35.

This is a dream match for fans around the world and this is definitely a big money match. This match will make the event feel much more special and also garner mainstream media's attention which Vince McMahon loves.

Avengers 4 is also scheduled to come out in May, the month after WrestleMania. What better way to cross-promote than by featuring Batista at WrestleMania?

If this match takes place at WrestleMania 35, we can be sure that it will tear the house down.

#3 Seth Rollins

Can the 'Kingslayer' dethrone the 'Beast Incarnate' as the Universal Champion?

The Kingslayer has carried Raw on his back for the whole year. Rollins has put on great matches every week and has truly gotten the fans behind him. He is currently the Intercontinental Champion.

He is currently involved in a feud against his former SHIELD brother, Dean Ambrose. Although he's in a feud with Dean Ambrose, according to reports Seth Rollins is clearly being considered as an opponent for Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. He also cut a promo on Raw after Crown Jewel and criticized Lesnar's title victory at Crown Jewel.

If he will face Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 he will first have to lose the Intercontinental title, and he could lose the title at TLC where he will be facing Dean Ambrose. After that, he could win the Royal Rumble and challenge Lesnar for the Universal Title.

If WWE decides to pit up Rollins against Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, we can be sure that they are going to create an exciting and amazing rivalry.

#2 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman could finally capture the Universal Championship at the 'Show of Shows'.

Strowman is one of the biggest superstars in the company right now but his current booking especially making him lose against Lesnar at Crown Jewel has raised some questions and also has hugely disappointed the fans all around the world.

If WWE books Lesnar against Strowman at Royal Rumble and decides to make Strowman lose again it'll severely damage The Monster's on-screen character. The best place to book Strowman against Lesnar is at WrestleMania 35 if only Strowman captures the gold by defeating Lesnar. If Lesnar defeats Strowman thrice in a row it will raise questions on Strowman's credibility and will also damage the credibility of the Universal Championship.

Strowman can get over again and gain back his credibility by crushing Lesnar at Wrestlemania 35. This would be like a crowning moment for Strowman making him "The Guy' in WWE.

But I believe the next Superstar I have included in this list will be an even better opponent for Lesnar and also a better candidate to dethrone him.

#1 Drew McIntyre

'The Scottish Psychopath' is the best choice to dethrone Lesnar.

Topping the list of the possible opponents for Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35 is none other than the 'Scottish Psychopath' Drew McIntyre. He has been heavily protected since his debut, he looked like a beast at Survivor Series and even scored an elimination.

Drew McIntyre could finally fulfill his destiny as Vince McMahon's "The Chosen One" at WrestleMania 35 with an impressive win over the ' Beast Incarnate'. He is the best choice to dethrone Lesnar as the Universal Champion. The way that Drew McIntyre brutalised Kurt Angle on RAW he must be taken seriously as a contender to dethrone Brock Lesnar.

Also, many reports have suggested that McIntyre is in line for a huge push next year and that push could start at the Royal Rumble. Winning the Rumble will elevate his career to the next level, and will also solidify his position as a main-eventer. With his physical characteristics, he would also be seen as a credible threat to Brock Lesnar.

If he faces Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, we can be sure that the match will be a sure shot blockbuster.
