#5 Brock Lesnar to face WWE newcomer Gable Steveson at WrestleMania
Brock Lesnar has been at the top of the WWE foodchain for a long time. The Beast Incarnate is one of the most dominant superstars in WWE today. There are very few men who can boast about a win over Lesnar and it is believed that the company lacks believable stars who can beat him.
However, it looks like the company has decided on who they plan on having Brock Lesnar pass the torch to. As per Dave Meltzer of The Observer, that's none other than WWE's recent signee Gable Steveson. The 21-year-old is an Olympic star and is reportedly personally close to Brock Lesnar as well.
"It's already been teased and talked about that (Brock) Lesnar would eventually wrestle him in a passing-of-the-torch type moment at a WrestleMania," said Meltzer. (H/T to F4WOnline)
In a recent interview, Stevenson had called Lesnar his mentor and said that it is good to have a role model like him. The young superstar believes that Brock Lesnar can teach him how to become a dominant superstar, much like The Beast Incarnate himself.
