6 WWE Superstars who loved wrestling Brock Lesnar

#5 Daniel Bryan

Brock Lesnar and Daniel Bryan

Brock Lesnar may be a beast, a heavyweight standing at 6' 3", but some of his best feuds in WWE have been with Superstars much smaller than him. One dream match that many fans wanted to see in recent times was between Daniel Bryan and Brock Lesnar.

That came to fruition at Survivor Series in 2018, when then WWE Champion, Daniel Bryan, faced Lesnar, who was holding the Universal Championship. That match came about after Bryan had defeated AJ Styles to win the title just days before Survivor Series.

Bryan later spoke about that match with Brock Lesnar and said that he was "very satisfied" with the match:

"One of the challenges with that match, specifically, from a creativity standpoint is 'ok I just turned into a bad guy maybe 5 or 6 days ago, I can't go out there and be a good guy. Otherwise it's an ineffective turn.' So how do I go out there and make people want to see me beat Brock Lesnar but at the end of it still have them hate me? And I feel we accomplished that very well [laughs]. It's funny too, because a lot of people give Lesnar a lot of crap especially from wrestling fans. But man, what an incredible performer that guy is. I've been wanting to do the Brock Lesnar match for a long time and I was very satisfied."

Bryan had just turned heel before the Survivor Series match, when he lowblowed Styles to turn heel for the first time since his return to the ring after his retirement. Daniel Bryan, though, lost that match against Lesnar at Survivor Series.
