WWE SummerSlam: 5 best opponents for Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar reached the epitome of wrestling business when he ended the two decade long WrestleMania streak of Undertaker.Though Paul Heyman has been hitting the refresh button to keep the win alive, the fans have really started to miss Brock Lesnar. Its unlikely that the company would extend this absence till SummerSlam as he has to be there for the second biggest event of the year.The obvious question which arises with Lesnars appearance would be who he will face once he returns. Well there is a lot of talent in the roster to pick from and here it the best ones.

#5 Triple H

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

When was the last time we saw Brock Lesnar as a babyface? Most probably the answer would be ages. Some might argue that Lesnar is suited to playing a heel but Lesnar turning face would be one of the biggest swerves of the year.

The Authority is having a lot of heat at the moment and anyone pitted against them is likely to end up as a face without much difficulty.

Lesnar could be the one taking down the Authority after they deny him the title shot that he deserves. Having Heyman on his side is an add-on advantage and the fans are going to love it when Lesnar tears down the lights of Randy Orton and Kane to reach to Hunter.

#4 Bray Wyatt

Bray had a high profile feud with John Cena recently and he doesn’t have anyone bigger to face in the company at the moment other than Brock Lesnar.

The way Bray carries his character has earned him some kind of a cult following among the WWE Universe and the company wouldn’t have much trouble in turning him face to have a great feud with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar.

Bray will benefit a lot from just being in the ring with Brock Lesnar and if the company wants to shoot Bray right into the stars they could even let him defeat Brock Lesnar. The prospect of Paul Heyman and Bray locking horns in the microphone is enough to make this one a success.

#3 Roman Reigns

Reigns is in the middle of one great push at the moment and it’s unlikely that he will deviate from the Authority angle. However, if the company manages to incorporate Brock Lesnar into the Authority angle they could give out this great prospect at SummerSlam.

A bout against Lesnar will be the biggest thing that Reigns can get at this point of the career. And the fact that Authority is aiding Lesnar makes Reigns into a lone wolf battling against all the odds.

Lesnar will not have any problem whatsoever if he falls for Reigns at SummerSlam and WWE will end up with a big baby face in their pocket if they decide to book Reigns as the winner.

#2 Cesaro

At WrestleMania, Paul Heyman saw his client end the legendary streak of Undertaker. And in the night which followed, Heyman got a new client who had all the weapons to be a big star in the company.

However, instead of endorsing Cesaro to the core, Heyman has been spending a lot of time talking about Brock Lesnar and how he became the one in twenty one and one.

It will only be a matter of time before Cesaro gets annoyed of this and what we can expect after that would be some great physical encounter between Cesaro and Brock Lesnar. Cesaro is known for his sheer power while Lesnar is a monster who can’t be tamed.

A good angle coupled with a solid match is going to do wonders for the career of Cesaro as he could make it on his own after this.

#1 Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan might be out of action for now but it’s almost sure that he will return in time for SummerSlam. There are rumors that Bryan will be heading into the pay-per-view as champion and it would be perfect setting for Lesnar to challenge.

Bryan will be coming off a career threatening injury and will be facing someone who is known for ending careers. The underdog situation in which Bryan flourished in the past will aid him here as well since it is the ultimate David- Goliath encounter.

WWE could also turn Bryan into the face of the company with this match as Lesnar comes off with a great momentum thanks to WrestleMania 30.
