10 Directions For New WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar
6. Run Him Through The Authority
Who should Lesnar work against to establish himself as a less villainous presence? Let’s start with Triple H’s new goon squad. It’s all speculation at the moment, but it looks like Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, and more are set to unite under 'The Game’s banner. Joe and Owens already have each other’s backs on Raw, and if they add some others to the mix, the new Authority are going to be a tremendous heel force.
Fresh match-ups with Owens and Joe make perfect sense, particularly as KO is moving back towards his old “Prizefighter” persona. Owens would likely have to lose the United States Title first, but a one-on-one defence on Raw or a transitional PPV would be a smart move before Lesnar moves onto Joe, who has been outstanding since joining the main roster.
Joe vs. Lesnar would be brutal, uncompromising, and hard-hitting. Furthermore, the promo wars between Joe and Heyman would be absolutely outstanding, and build a tremendous level of anticipation for the match. Lesnar can run through the new corporate stooges one at a time, presenting himself as an enemy of the company hierarchy, thus firmly establishing him as someone to get behind.
