Lesnar played a big part in putting over the Scottish Psychopath, like the true pro that he is. Many fans are of the opinion that the former UFC star is in his final few years in WWE, having achieved it all in the company.
But, there are a few Superstars that still are yearning to go one-on-one with Brock Lesnar in WWE.
Let’s take a look at 5 current WWE Superstars who want to face Brock Lesnar:
#5 Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy, like Lesnar, has been in the pro wrestling business for a long time and won numerous championships, and been a part of exciting storylines. Hardy’s WWE contract should be up next year, and it’s anyone’s guess as to where Hardy will wrestle next.
While speaking on the After the Bell podcast with Corey Graves, Jeff Hardy revealed that he wants to face Brock Lesnar once again in WWE, and hinted that Lesnar could retire him:
The two have had history, with Lesnar’s first televised match being against Jeff Hardy at Backlash in 2002. That was also the last time Hardy and Lesnar met in the ring in a singles match in WWE.
#4 Matt Riddle
One current WWE Superstar who has tried his best to grab the attention of Brock Lesnar and get a match with The Beast is Matt Riddle. Riddle, who was recently promoted to SmackDown from NXT, has spoken time and again about wanting to “retire” Brock Lesnar, and have a match with The Beast in WWE.
In an interview earlier this year, he said that he did not mean to be disrespectful towards Lesnar and said that it’s been Matt Riddle’s goal since he started wrestling to face The Beast.
But, Matt Riddle may never get that match against Lesnar as he revealed that Lesnar and his advocate, Paul Heyman, told him in no uncertain terms that he would never ever get a match with Brock Lesnar.
#3 Karrion Kross
NXT Superstar Karrion Kross is a scary monster of a man, who has drawn comparisons with Brock Lesnar thanks to his intimidating physique. Kross, who debuted in WWE earlier this year, is already being talked about moving to RAW or SmackDown in the near future and be a big star.
He replied to a fan’s comment on social media about facing Lesnar, and this is what Kross had to say:
Karrion Kross recently spoke about the comparisons with Brock Lesnar and said that he was flattered by these comparisons:
Kross has the look and the size to stand up to The Beast, and we won’t be surprised if this match between Kross and Lesnar happens in the future, especially if WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has big plans for the NXT Superstar.
#2 Keith Lee
An NXT Superstar whose stock has been on the rise over the last one-and-a-half years is the current North American Champion, Keith Lee. Lee has had run-ins with those on RAW and SmackDown at Survivor Series and Royal Rumble, and even had an interaction with Brock Lesnar earlier this year at Royal Rumble.
By the pop that confrontation got from the crowd, a Lee vs Lesnar match is something that fans want. And it seems that Keith Lee is also keen on stepping in the ring with Brock Lesnar in the future:
Lee is on the verge of something big in WWE, and his stock could rise even further if he gets in the ring with Brock Lesnar.
#1 Bobby Lashley
This is a match that’s been in the making for years. Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar are two incredible specimens, excelling in both MMA and WWE, one of the few athletes to have done it.
Lashley has spoken about getting in the ring with The Beast ever since he re-joined WWE back in 2018. The All Mighty recently opened up about facing Brock Lesnar and if he has spoken to WWE Chairman Vince McMahon about it:
Bobby Lashley seems to be ready and it seems that this dream match - perhaps one of the few dream matches remaining for Brock Lesnar in WWE - could happen sometime in the near future.
