When Brock Lesnar finally dropped his title to Roman Reigns not that long ago, it was assumed by all that he would stay away from a WWE ring for at least the foreseeable future. His UFC mega-fight was thought to be a big obstacle to him from continuing to appear as part of the WWE program even at his sporadic rates.
However, with him all set to fight in a triple threat match at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, one thing is clear. Lesnar is far from done with the WWE. If sources like Dave Meltzer are to be believed then he will keep appearing at most of the major shows going forward and that means he needs a good feuding partner. While there are more than a few options, we have selected the 5 potential opponents for Brock Lesnar after the Saudi show.

<h2>Bobby Lashley</h2>

If there is one active wrestler who can stand toe to toe with Lesnar and make it look believable then it has to be Lashley. Brock Lesnar has been dominating the competition for some time now and the last memorable thing Lesnar did was getting beat up by Goldberg.

While Lashley doesn&#8217;t have the star power anywhere close to what Goldberg had, he brings one thing to the table and that is raw physicality. That and his legitimate MMA skills make him more believable.
His return has garnered a reaction that has been surprisingly positive and if WWE can book a feud that is managed the right way then this can easily become the biggest feud for the next few months. Lashley has to be allowed to beat Lesnar which will do wonders for both men as they are sort of starting to fizzle out.

<h2>Drew McIntyre</h2>

Another man who can really take the fight to Lesnar is McIntyre. While he is okay at being Ziggler&#8217;s sidekick, where he really shines is as a single&#8217;s wrestler as he showcased during his run in NXT.

A feud with Lesnar would be the perfect launching pad for the Scottish wrestler while it will allow Lesnar to be part of a program that is fresh and not a rehash of one of his many forgettable feuds of late.
Again, the right manner of storytelling is key. WWE can just as easily destroy McIntyre as they can make him the next big star. Lesnar should not be simply allowed to squash McIntyre but the two should have the kind of feud where it feels like two physical freaks are at war with each other.

<h2>Finn Balor</h2>

There was a time when this was actually in the works but Vince McMahon got cold feet as he felt Balor wasn&#8217;t believable enough as a bonafide threat to the beast. That was a massive oversight on the part of McMahon as Lesnar is at his best when he is in the ring with a quick and agile wrestler.

When Lesnar does physical stuff like tearing the door off a metal cage or suplex a 500 pound giant, it isn&#8217;t that shocking as he is kinda expected to do those things. His matches become entertaining when he can keep up with and counter some of the quickest wrestlers which is not something that Lesnar is ordinarily expected to do.
Finn Balor too is being inconceivably left on the back burner when he is easily one of the top talents in WWE. This feud would revitalize both men&#8217;s careers and provide the fans with something new and entertaining.

<h2>Kurt Angle</h2>

If Lesnar is going to make rare appearances that are few and far in between, then it makes little sense and almost an impossibility to have a feud with an active wrestler. Kurt Angle can solve that conundrum quite neatly. Not being an active wrestler can allow him to be there whenever Lesnar comes back in a way that can be explained easily.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7795&#8243;]
The obvious glitch in this plan is that Angle is well past his prime and even though the two had put on amazing matches a decade ago, Angle cannot bring the same level of physicality now. This does not mean that the resulting matches and feud will be a dud. WWE has pulled off great storylines in the past with wrestlers past their prime and they can do the same with Kurt Angle.
The seeds for this feud have already been laid with Lesnar having attacked Angle brutally. This would be the trickiest of all the scenarios we have listed and WWE would need to be on top of their game to pull this one off successfully.

<h2>The Rock</h2>

With the very strong possibility of Steve Austin never wrestling again, the biggest money match that WWE could pull off would be Rock vs Lesnar. They are two men who have nothing else to prove from a career standpoint and a match between these two would need no buildup.
[adace-ad id=&#8221;7792&#8243;]
WWE is reportedly very keen on pulling this off for WrestleMania 35 and signs are pointing towards this actually coming to fruition. The Rock wants to wrestle again and Lesnar couldn&#8217;t ask for a bigger opponent. This could generate more interest than Rock vs Hulk Hogan generated and if WWE indeed manage to pull this off then this will be the biggest story of this decade and even this century.
This is also one scenario that is very difficult to screw up as whichever direction WWE takes, it will be a blast for the fans and a massive payday for both these men.
