Top seven WWE superstars Brock Lesnar can face after John Cena

Brock Lesnar can have a lot of compelling WWE matches after facing John Cena.

Brock Lesnar stunned the world with his shocking return to WWE at the end of SummerSlam 2025. This marked The Beast’s first appearance after a two-year absence. Moreover, he immediately targeted his longtime rival, John Cena, and delivered an F-5 to him.

Moreover, the duo is rumored to clash at WWE‘s newest PLE, Wrestlepalooza, on September 20. Following that blockbuster match, here are seven other bouts Lesnar can have in WWE:

7. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre won his first WWE championship from Brock Lesnar in 2020. The Beast Incarnate might not have forgotten that embarrassment, even if it came in front of no audience. With Lesnar back in town and McIntyre now a popular fixture, a second match between the duo could be a must-see for the fans.

6. Seth Rollins

Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins have clashed against each other on numerous occasions in WWE. The Visionary is the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, which is enough reason for The Conqueror to come after him again. This could set up a potential title bout between the duo at a major WWE PLE.

5. Logan Paul

Internet sensation Logan Paul has been this generation’s highly popular and captivating WWE superstar. This has earned him top showdowns against top stars like Roman Reigns, Rey Mysterio, and, next in line, John Cena. The Maverick can continue to add illustrious bouts to his career, should he cross paths with Brock Lesnar, setting the stage for a colossal collision.

4. CM Punk

The one sole match between Brock Lesnar and CM Punk at SummerSlam 2013 was phenomenal. With both former Paul Heyman Guys back in WWE now, a marquee showdown between The Beast and The Best could be a huge headliner for an upcoming Premium Live Event.

3. Bronson Reed

A colossal opponent for Brock Lesnar after his return to WWE can be Bronson Reed. The Vision member has proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with over the last year and has been thriving as part of Seth Rollins’ faction. Following his first major singles bout against Roman Reigns at Clash in Paris, Reed’s next big match could come against The Beast Incarnate himself.

2. Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker has been touted as ‘The Next Big Thing,’ much like Brock Lesnar, when he started in WWE in the early 2000s. He has the same dominance, aggression, and hard-hitting ability as Lesnar and has often been compared to him. So, witnessing these two powerhouses in the ring can be nothing short of a stellar showdown at a major event.

1. Gunther

A top dream match for Brock Lesnar after returning to WWE is arguably against Gunther. The duo has squared off once in the 2023 Royal Rumble match, which was a monumental moment to witness. Moreover, they were reportedly set to collide at WrestleMania 40, before Lesnar’s name was linked with the Vince McMahon Janel Grant lawsuit. Now that he is back, WWE might book this mega match at a forthcoming PLE, which would be a marquee draw for any show.
