Brock Lesnar has fallen down the card since losing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 32, and it can be argued that the company isn't getting the most out of their investment in him. 

Still, his title loss has had its benefits - Lesnar has gotten to face a new variety of opponents such as Dean Ambrose and The Wyatt Family, giving his WWE profile greater depth than just Cena, Undertaker, and Triple H matches.

One man who would make a very interesting opponent for Lesnar would be AJ Styles. Though the two have little in common besides a resume as former IWGP Heavyweight Champions, Styles is an amazing babyface while Lesnar - despite his popularity - is the quintessential monster heel. 

Just seeing Styles, Lesnar, and Paul Heyman share a ring during the buildup would be an exciting sample of the interplay between the two sides.

Like Nakamura and Owens, the two men in this bout would come into it with wildly different styles, but once again, they're both capable of having a good match with just about anybody. Lesnar's dominance and suplex-heavy assault is always compelling, and Styles's high-risk offense is convincing enough to work even in brief flurries. 

No matter who picked up the victory, this dream match would deliver.
