Brock Lesnar is one of the genetically gifted athletes who have long dominated the professional wrestling industry. He has been on an extended break since SummerSlam 2023 and was scheduled to compete in the Royal Rumble PLE earlier this year. However, his plans to return changed due to his involvement in the Miss Janelle Grant sex trafficking case.
Lesnar was removed from his scheduled WrestleMania radio appearance, removed from the show, and even removed from all WWE matches. Triple H stated during the WrestleMania press conference that Lesnar is not gone, suggesting he will return when the time is right. With that in mind, here are three possible opponents for Brock Lesnar in his return to WWE.
3. Bron Breaker
Bron Breaker is considered the “Next Big Thing” in WWE, and much like Lesnar in 2002, he received the hype he deserved when he debuted on the main roster. Breaker was the one who took Lesnar’s place in the Royal Rumble, and he did exactly what Lesnar was supposed to do.
So Lesnar’s ego suggesting that someone new might come in to replace him could cause a major conflict. A potential feud with Bron could become a temporary torchbearer following Lesnar’s return.
2. Judgment Day
Judgment Day is one of the biggest factions in WWE and has a stake in everything that happens on the red brand. Lesnar was scheduled to feud with Dominik Mysterio at Elimination Chamber PLE earlier this year.
Additionally, the World Championship could also be held on Judgment Day since Lesnar is always aiming for the gold medal. When Lesnar tries to start a feud with a member of Judgment Day, it automatically becomes a problem for the group as a whole. One vs All can be made with Brock Lesnar and Judgment Day.
1. Gunther
The most anticipated match in the world at WrestleMania 40 was Gunther vs. Brock Lesnar. But Lesnar’s absence didn’t help. Gunter said in a previous interview that his dream match was against Brock Lesnar, but nothing was said about Lesnar’s return.
The potential rivalry between Brock Lesnar and Gunther could become a major issue and a major clash. We already gave you a preview of Royal Rumble 2023 in the Rumble match. If Lesnar vs. Gunter happens upon his return, it would be a big money match for a new era.
