Brock Lesnar’s WWE Comeback

Brock Lesnar has returned to WWE after 2 years. Lesnar returned at WWE SummerSlam after the John Cena vs Cody Rhodes WWE Championship Match. There were no rumours and no reports about him returning. It was a complete shock to everyone. He is one of the biggest names in the combat sports world. The list of opponents that he could face consists of some dream Matches.

 

Let’s look at the Top 5 Opponents for Brock Lesnar upon his return to WWE 


1) John Cena

This is the first and most obvious one. John Cena is on his retirement tour and the last match between him and John Cena will be perfect. Brock Lesnar gave an F5 to John Cena and this has signalled that these two great rivals will face each other one last time. It will most likely be at the 20th September 2025 PPV which might be broadcast on ESPN. John Cena would look to get revenge from SummerSlam 2014 which was 11 years ago. The fans went crazy when Brock Lesnar hit at SummerSlam. They would look to have the best match in their rivalry. 


2) Gunther

Gunther has always said that he considers Brock Lesnar as his Final Boss. He has said that his dream match is against Brock Lesnar. Now there is a very good chance that the fans might get this dream match. Brock Lesnar was Gunther before there was a Gunther. He has been dominating everyone for over 20 years. Gunther is the best wrestler in WWE and he and Brock Lesnar could have a match for the ages. This will be a very physical match and Gunther will be dominated for the first time as he will be suplexed and Brock Lesnar will feel the wrath of the chops from the Ring General. It will be a Banger whenever it happens. 


3) CM Punk

Brock Lesnar vs CM Punk is one of the all time great rivalries. They had an absolute barn burner against each other at SummerSlam 2013. This time CM Punk is looking even better than he did back then. The fans would absolutely love to see these two legends square at it for one final time and Paul Heynan be the advocate for Brock Lesnar one final time. CM Punk would also love to wrestle Brock Lesnar and see where he stands. This match could happen at WrestleMania 42. CM Punk finally won a World Championship after 13 years and he is also near the end of his career. 


4) Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker has been touted as the next big thing by Paul Heynan. He used the exact same words for Brock Lesnar in 2002. There is a story there as to see if Bron Breakker Is truly ready to be the Brock Lesnar of this generation. Paul Heynan is in the corner of Bron Breakker but he and Brock Lesnar are best friends for over 20 years. Bron would relish the opportunity to go against someone the WWE sees him as. This would be a physical match and Brock Lesnar would test Bron Breakker to the limit. 


5) Drew Mcintyre

The last time Brock Lesnar vs Drew Mcintyre happened was at WrestleMania 36. There were no crowds and it was during the pandemic. This time this match needs to happen in front of the fans. Drew Mcintyre has risen his stock to a whole another level ever since that match. He has been a 2 time WWE champion. He has had an incredible feud against CM Punk. Drew Mcintyre would look to get the definitive win against Brock Lesnar and Brock would look to get his win back. It will be a very good match and this is the match that could retire Brock Lesnar as SummerSlam next year will be in Minneapolis Minnesota which is his hometown.
