Many wrestlers have come through WWE over the years claiming to be ‘prize fighters’, but none have carried the tag as convincingly as Brock Lesnar. Every match he is in seems to be for something, whether it is a championship or something even bigger. With the Universal Championship lost, it makes sense that Lesnar would turn his focus to the WWE Championship.

AJ Styles is currently in possession of that prestigious belt, but The Phenomenal One has many roadblocks in his way over the coming months. Styles will defend the belt against five opponents at WWE Fastlane, before doing battle against Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania 34. Many expect AJ’s reign to be over by the time Lesnar battles Roman Reigns in the ‘Mania main event.

Ever since Shinsuke Nakamura arrived on the WWE scene, the spectre of Brock Lesnar has loomed large in the distance. The two faced off in NJPW, but that match featured a disinterested Brock and a pre-charisma Shinsuke. A bout between Nakamura and Lesnar in 2018 would be an entirely different kettle of fish.
