Brock Lesnar to feud with 36-year-old superstar before Gunther? Exploring potential WWE return feud
It has been a long time since Brock Lesnar made a WWE appearance. Meanwhile, fans continue to anticipate his comeback. While most expect him to feud with Gunther upon his arrival, another dominant star could become his rival.
Fans last saw Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2023, where he suffered a loss against Cody Rhodes. The Beast's return has seemingly been on hold due to Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon. Lesnar's name was indirectly mentioned on a recent episode of WWE RAW, sparking rumors of his return. If that is in the plans, he could face Bronson Reed before taking on Gunther.
Bronson Reed has dominated the red brand in recent months. He absolutely destroyed Seth Rollins and had several brutal matches with Braun Strowman. The 36-year-old will likely conclude his storyline with The Visionary at Crown Jewel, so The Beast seems to be the perfect opponent to stop his viciousness.
It all depends on whether Lesnar gets cleared to return and what the company has in store for both stars. However, the potential feud will be must-see television if it materializes. As of now, it is just speculation for now, and nothing is confirmed. WWE may finalize its plans for the Road to WrestleMania 41 in the coming months.
Other names Brock Lesnar could face upon his potential WWE comeback
Gunther and Bronson Reed may be two of the most dominant names currently on the WWE roster. However, Brock Lesnar will not run out of potential rivals if he returns anytime soon.
Another name famous for causing havoc on Monday nights is Bron Breakker, who recently became a two-time Intercontinental Champion after defeating Jey Uso on WWE RAW. The youngster could have a big-time rivalry with the bona fide legend over the Intercontinental Championship.
Other stars who are fit to have a great program with The Beast Incarnate are Drew McIntyre and Oba Femi. While McIntyre has already feuded with the WWE veteran, Femi could benefit from a high-profile rivalry at this stage of his career.
