WWE: 10 Men Most Likely To End Daniel Bryan's Title Reign

8. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is something of an unknown quantity right now. He came back to the WWE in 2012 under a part time contract. He is earning around $5 million a year, and is only contracted to work a certain amount of dates, no more. This normally amounts to a handful of PPV's and a smattering of Raw's throughout the calendar year. He has been booked in quality feuds (vs CM Punk) and has also been booked in complete wastes of time (vs Big Show). But at Wrestlemania, Brock Lesnar accomplished something pretty special. You might have heard Paul Heyman mention it. After breaking The Undertaker's legendary Wrestlemania Streak, many fans were floored. "Of all people", they cried, "Of all people to break The Streak, Brock Lesnar??? A part-timer?!". But let's take a step back, sports fans. Lesnar costs the WWE $5 MILLION A YEAR. If I was paying somebody $5 million a year, I'd want a pretty good return on my investment. Lesnar is a proven draw, so having him win the title from Bryan makes a certain amount of sense. It doesn't even matter so much to WWE that it would be a part timer holding the belt, because they did it with The Rock last year. Sure, normally fans would have a little whinge, but who's going to moan after the man broke The Streak?? Lesnar originally signed a one year deal back in 2012. He extended that on it's conclusion for two years, so his current part time contract will take him through to next Wrestlemania. Maybe WWE is hoping that if they invest enough in Lesnar, they can sign him up on a more permanent contract come next April. He might not win the title any time soon, but the potential is there. You can say that you don't want it because Brock Lesnar is a part timer all you like, but need I remind you that (Paul Heyman's client) Brock Lesnar broke The Streak?! Nothing makes sense anymore in this topsy turvy world in which we live.
