5 first time opponents Brock Lesnar should face before his WWE retirement

Brock Lesnar is the reigning and defending Universal Champion right now, but he's held that title hostage for way too long, and after what many predict will be a loss at WrestleMania 35, his WWE future will be up in the air.

If he does indeed stick around (which is currently rumored, but things change with the WWE and especially Brock Lesnar all the time), it's going to be interesting to see how the company handles The Beast Incarnate.

When he's motivated, Brock is still capable of putting on some incredible bouts, so he can still be very valuable to the company. Sure, after losing to Rollins, the shine may come off The Beast, but he's still a big-time star, and before he does walk away from the WWE for good, there are performers we'd love to see him face, and the following are the top names.

#5 Cesaro

Cesaro was once regarded as one of the top wrestlers in the world, and despite the fact he's been doing amazing work alongside Sheamus over the past few years, he's definitely dropped in a lot of fans' eyes.

That's unfortunate, because the Swiss Superman is still as incredible as he ever was inside the ring, and it's time the WWE lets him lose and be the wrestling machine he is as a singles star.

This has been a dream match for fans over the years, and if the WWE book Cesaro well over the next year, Brock could be the final hurdle for him to climb to become the World Champion he should have been long ago.

This one is not very likely over the next 12 months, because the WWE is insistent on Cesaro wrestling in tag teams, but if they do want a fresh star at the top, The Swiss Superman is a phenomenal option.
