5 Potential WWE TLC 2019 Opponents For Brock Lesnar

Despite a thrilling No Holds Barred match at Survivor Series on Sunday, Brock Lesnar remains WWE Champion.

No-one gave Rey Mysterio a prayer against 'The Beast Incarnate' despite the 'No Holds Barred' stipulation at the pay-per-view, and yet you have to admit that when Rey and his son Dominik both covered Lesnar following multiple low blows, chair shots and a double 619, you thought the title might change hands.

It didn't of course; Lesnar kicked out, threw Dominik across the ring and caught Mysterio coming off the top to nail him with an F5 for the pinfall victory.

Nevertheless, after yet another brilliant David vs. Goliath showing for Brock at Survivor Series, fans are keen to see who will step up and challenge for the WWE Championship next.

There seems to be a presumption that Lesnar will hold the title until WrestleMania 36, where once again he will be dethroned in an attempt to crown another top star. However, this is wrestling, plans change and depending on his foe at TLC, he might not hold the title into 2020.

Here are five potential opponents at the last show of the year for Brock Lesnar....

Kevin Owens seems a highly unlikely opponent for Brock Lesnar at the December pay-per-view as he appears set to feud with Seth Rollins after a much needed heel turn on Monday night from The Architect.

Speculation is rife as to whether we are getting The Shield 2.0 with AOP's involvement in the Raw attack on Owens, but regardless it seems we are destined for the two former champions to clash at TLC.

Nevertheless, if Owens was merely in the wrong place at the wrong time for Rollins' turn, he would be a perfect challenger to Brock. If WWE aren't keen on the highly anticipated Lesnar vs. Owens showdown at WrestleMania then the sooner these two can clash the better.

Indeed, even if they are, there's no reason why the seeds for a potential WrestleMania headliner (something Owens should have done at WrestleMania 33) can't be planted in a hard-hitting encounter between two former Universal champions.

Aside from a blink-and-you-miss-it bout with Cain Velasquez at Crown Jewel, Lesnar hasn't fought someone of Owens' ilk in over a year. The potential physicality between both men in an environment like TLC is tantalising.

When you combine that, the fact that there are arguably no other babyfaces on the Raw roster capable of challenging Lesnar right now, and the deafening crowd reaction that KO received at WarGames, TLC seems destined to be the Kevin Owens show.
