Who will challenge Brock Lesnar next? While it doesn't seem like that question is going to be answered for a while, especially after Lesnar's rumored hiatus from WWE, it honestly feels like the answers are actually right in front of us. The company might have even outright shown their hand during last week's edition of Monday Night Raw, which featured Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins at odds with each other.

With that being said, here are five reasons why the former Kevin Steen will be the next Superstar to challenge The WWE Champion. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us if there are other Superstars you think should be Lesnar's next challenger.

Whenever WWE starts to turn a Superstar heel, it's almost a guaranteed fact that they will cement another Superstar as a babyface. If nothing else, that seems to be the dynamic that the company is trying to create between Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens, which begs the question of who will be the one to face Lesnar at The Royal Rumble?

Sure, WWE could go with Seth Rollins again and even draw a great deal of resentment for doing so, but putting Owens in that spot would feel like the cathartic outcome WWE needs right now. In fact, with the new dynamic between Rollins and Owens in mind, The Prizefighter seems like such a better fit for the role.

Beyond all that, it seems like WWE is actually using Seth Rollins's eventual heel turn to help bring Kevin Owens into the title picture. It might even result in some of the best matches of the year and keep fans enthralled.
