12 Opponents Brock Lesnar Needs To Face

With 3 more years of The Beast now guaranteed, these matches need to happen!

by Andrew Pollard
The anticipation for this year€™s Wrestlemania had been lukewarm at best until it was given a mighty shot in the arm by the recent reveal that "The Beast Incarnate" Brock Lesnar had penned a 3-year contract extension with the WWE. Not only did Lesnar's re-signing reignite interest in this year's Showcase of the Immortals, it also threw up numerous possibilities as to who The Beast may go up against in the future. Whereas previously it looked as if Brock's final match was to be against Roman Reigns (in a bout that many were not sold on), it's both a huge relief and source of excitement to know that there are still plenty of matches on the horizon for the marquee attraction. Obviously many are hopeful that we will finally get to see the hotly-anticipated Brock vs Daniel Bryan match at some point, but there are a whole host of mouth-watering potential matches and feuds for Lesnar to partake in when you look at some of the up and coming talent on the WWE roster and even down in NXT. Regardless of whether he's a vicious monster heel or an ass-kicking, no-nonsense babyface, Brock Lesnar is a truly unique talent who is always a special attraction for the realism that he brings to the wrestling product. Just stepping in the ring with Brock can give a superstar's career an instant shot of credibility. Now that we've got 3 more years of Lesnar to look forward to, here's 12 opponents who he simply has to face.
