#5 Brock Lesnar to set-up rematch with Cain Velasquez
Brock Lesnar dispatched of Cain Velasquez in quick time at Crown Jewel when The Beast defended his WWE Champion against the former UFC star. Velasquez's debut showed Lesnar as the all-conquering Beast that he is, and perhaps set them up for a rematch in the future.
Velasquez will be out of action for a while due to a legitimate injury, which gives WWE ample time to build up Lesnar and the WWE Championship.
Mysterio being involved in a title match against Lesnar is perfect for Velasquez to enter into the title race and a feud with Lesnar again sometime in the future.
