10 Best Opponents To Face Brock Lesnar At WWE SummerSlam 2016

4. Randy Orton

Randy Orton Brock Lesnar

Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar haven’t fought in a match in over a decade. It was 2002, when Randy was just a rookie, and Brock was being established as the Next Big Thing that they met up in the ring. This was well before Brock’s time in UFC, and before Randy even had the RKO at his disposal. Since they’ve become established stars, they haven’t locked up.

The seems like a bit of an oversight on WWE’s part. Despite all his troubles, Orton is still one of the most popular wrestlers of this millennium. We live in an era where every top star fights every other top star countless times. While John Cena and The Undertaker have received a few matches with Brock, Orton has been left out. It's time to change that.

However, at this point, it’s not even clear if The Legend Killer will be back in time for SummerSlam, as he’s still dealing with a shoulder injury. But if he does return in time, it wouldn’t take much to make the match feel like a big deal.

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
