12 Opponents Brock Lesnar Needs To Face

11. Chris Jericho

A solid angle between Jericho and Brock Lesnar could be the stuff of legend. Chris Jericho is a performer who brings so much to any feud or match he€™s involved in. This is a guy who can work with near-enough anybody, and Lesnar himself is especially excellent when in the ring with somebody who can deliver to the high level that he can. Whilst Y2J may have his fingers in plenty of other pies, a WWE TV return is going to happen again at some point down the line - it's just a case of when and for how long. What€™s intriguing about this possible matchup is that there€™s a ready-made angle already in place after Lesnar destroyed Jericho during a December 2014 episode of Raw. Of course, Brock€™s imminent future will likely be as a huge babyface, but then again, Chris Jericho€™s last lengthy heel run was arguably the best heel act of the last decade or more. Regardless of who was heel or face, or even if both were fan favourites, any sort of match or feud between Jericho and Lesnar would be must-see television.
