The Beast shall return. Brock Lesnar is having a bit of an interesting summer. Out of nowhere, he shocked the wrestling and MMA worlds with the announcement of another UFC fight. WWE let him take on the challenge, and could benefit greatly with some publicity. Well, unless Lesnar gets creamed, then that’s a whole other issue.

It’s already been announced, though, that he will be at SummerSlam in August. This will be after the brand split takes place, so it will be interesting to see where he ends up, and who he takes on. While nearly everyone on the roster would kill for a shot against Brock due to his mainstream appeal, only a select handful are currently over enough for fans to get excited about.

With HHH and The Undertaker safely out of the picture, it may be time for Brock to take on an up-and-comer, or possibly create another dream match with an already established star. With that in mind, here are the top 10 choices to battle him at SummerSlam.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
