Oh, I've gone there... 

This would have to be one of Brock's last matches as a WWE Superstar. 

With all due respect to Baron Corbin, how could Lesnar bounce back from what would be the most shocking defeat of his career - even if WWE continue on their mega push of the Lone Wolf for the foreseeable future?

It seems that WWE have finally been convinced by Corbin after a prolonged period in NXT. After looking like he was capable of nothing more than a ten second squash match, he is one of the leading heels on the developmental roster - drawing legitimate heat, rather than your ever more commong X-Pac variety. 

He's also proved he can hang with the best of them, putting on solid matches with the likes of Apollo Crews, Samoa Joe and Finn Balor. 

After winning the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at 'Mania 32, Dolph Ziggler made the former NFL player look incredibly strong on RAW and his stock is rising all the time. 

It remains to be seen how long/hard WWE will push Corbin in the future, but if he gets to a point where he cements himself as a leading man on the main roster, a victory over Brock could be on the cards. 

This one really has to be seen as a 'long shot', though.
