5 superstars who could challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal championship

#2 Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley returned to the WWE the night after WrestleMania

Bobby Lashley recently made his return to WWE television on the night after WrestleMania, where he attacked Elias, establishing himself as a face in the process. In Lashley's previous run in the company, he was one of the leading faces in the company and was a frequent main event level star.

A potential Lashley vs Lesnar clash could be a big money main event to headline any pay-per-view on the WWE's calendar. Lashley is credible enough to not just face the Beast but beat him and win the Universal Championship. Much like Lesnar's matches with Goldberg, any potential bouts between the Beast and Lashley might not be the best matches in terms of technical wrestling, but certainly can be the special attraction on any card.

As Lesnar transitions towards a match in the UFC, which would potentially require him to drop the title, Lashley fits the criteria to succeed Lesnar as the powerful and dominant champion.
