#5 The Rock

WWE wants mainstream? Well there is nothing more mainstream than Rock vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE championship.

Rock is one of those superstars who went from WWE to have an immensely successful career elsewhere. Lesnar’s story is not much different and a clash between these two at any pay-per-view would result in huge crowds.

The Brahma bull is far away from being able to compete at the moment but the original plan was for him to face Lesnar at this year’s WrestleMania. Some unfortunate events took that possibility away but the idea is still in everyone’s mind.

WWE network could get the biggest exposure if these two lock horns, but then again for a regular fan this would just be a match between two part timers who is well past their prime.
