5 Potential Opponents for Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble

#3 Samoa Joe

Joe is always a threat to his opponents

The Samoan Submission Machine is currently nursing an injury that has kept him out of in-ring action for the past few months. Joe was drafted to RAW during the 2019 Draft. Meanwhile, the California-native has been making sporadic appearances on WWE Backstage on FS1 and was on commentary on RAW two weeks ago. While the timeline for Joe's recovery is still unknown, it is largely believed that he would be returning before the Rumble.

Lesnar and Joe have previously faced off against one another on two occasions. The duo first locked horns at The Great Balls of Fire event for the Universal Championship in July 2017. Joe would take Lesnar to the limit during the match but would fall short with Lesnar hitting an F5 to win and retain his Championship. Lesnar and Joe were a part of the Fatal-four way match for the Universal Championship in the main event of SummerSlam 2017 alongside Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. Lesnar would once again reign supreme after he pinned Reigns to retain the title.

A third meeting between The Beast and The Submission Machine is something we believe fans wouldn't mind seeing. Lesnar and Joe are two of the baddest dudes in the company at the moment and seeing them going at it once again will be a treat to watch.
