10 Big Turns WWE Must Make In 2017
2. Brock Lesnar (Face)
You can make a convincing argument that Brock Lesnar is the most dominant athlete in WWE history. Goldberg flattened him at Survivor Series, but it’ll take more than a single loss to kill Brock’s mystique. He’ll recover his lost heat as soon as he returns to television and dishes-out his first German Suplex or F5, and he and Goldberg will likely head towards WrestleMania 33 with one of WWE’s hottest feuds.
He must stay a heel throughout the Goldberg feud, but there’s money in a post-Mania babyface run. Lesnar and Paul Heyman play their roles to perfection, but people love them regardless. Their performances are so strong that it’s impossible to hate them at times, no matter who they’re waging war with, and that’ll be the case throughout the rest of Brock’s run. Provided he and Paul are motivated, Lesnar will always attract a cult following, and he’d make a great monster babyface.
WWE have dabbled with this idea in the past and Brock went on a huge tear after Seth Rollins stole his WWE Championship at WrestleMania 31, but he soon reverted back to his old heel role. A shame, as having an antagonist as sassy and cowardly as Rollins made it incredibly easy to get behind Lesnar. A similar scenario in 2017 would draw a huge reaction, and set Lesnar up for a fresh new set of feuds.
