What if Brock Lesnar gets drafted permanently to WWE SmackDown?

#1 John Cena on SmackDown

John Cena could be one of the few challengers WWE can position against Lesnar in the months ahead.

There are not a great many WWE Superstars who are currently positioned as believable rivals to Brock Lesnar. Sure, on RAW, Seth Rollins has bested The Beast twice this year, and Braun Strowman has a viable claim to being able to hold his own with Lesnar. But after that Bray Wyatt may be about the only full time roster member whom fans might bite on holding his own with The Beast Incarnate.

Things don’t look much better on the existing SmackDown roster, where Roman Reigns, Daniel Bryan, and Kofi Kingston are probably the only Superstars WWE could program against Lesnar. But what if WWE broke the glass on an emergency option?

In search of viable opponents for Lesnar, and seeking star power to satisfy FOX, John Cena could be the man WWE would turn to. There’s even some symmetry to the idea, given that Lesnar and Cena had their original main roster feud on the blue brand long ago.
