10 WWE Superstars Who Could Take The Universal Title Off Brock Lesnar
1. Matt Riddle
Matt Riddle looks like the product of a Vince McMahon wet dream. He’s absolutely ripped. While smaller guys are forced to outpace and outmanoeuvre Brock, the NXT standout looks like he could match Lesnar’s power game.
‘The Original Bro’ is also one of the few guys in the company that shares Brock’s MMA legitimacy. An 8-3 UFC win loss record makes him a credible opponent for ‘The Beast’.
Riddle has been outspoken about his desire to face Brock Lesnar. He threw his hat into the ring via Twitter and doubled down in conversation with Jeremy Borash for WWE.
“Retiring Brock, that’s no secret. That’s been the goal since I started wrestling.” He expanded as if looking to goad Brock, or the bookers, into a reaction. “I don’t like how he does it, I don’t like the respect that he shows, I don’t like the work rate that he puts out.”
Could Matt Riddle not just beat but retire Brock Lesnar? It’s unclear. Would it be entertaining to watch him try? That’s a certainty.
Plus his recent outspoken tweets about Goldberg show that he has the vicious streak needed to take down ‘The Beast Incarnate’.
