He hasn't even wrestled one match yet on the main roster. That's going to take a TON of buildup because Nakamura is nowhere near Lesnar's level.
Brock's next opponent? You decide.

Braun's a nobody, I don't want to watch Lesnar suplex a sack of shit with no personality for 15 minutes. If I want to watch someone get squashed, at least give me the illusion they can win and that I care if they can win. I would not cheer for a guy like Braun Strowman to try to beat Lesnar.
Joe's the only viable choice right now I can think of who's tough enough and still a big name. I'd love for Sheamus to stiff Lesnar but Sheamus might be lacking in name due to jobbing so much.

It will be Shane likely, and it will suck.
I want to comment on what someone said last night about Brocks losses. He has lost to Cena in a street fight, HHH in no DQ, and UT in a match. I know people say UT cheated, but in case anyone forgot, Brock cheated in their final match to get the win as well.

WWE has such a hard-on for Brock Lesnar, they've had him not just beat, not just dominate, but outright SQUASH John Cena, The Undertaker, and now Randy Orton...and we're supposed to take Samoa Joe seriously as a threat to him? Joe is NOTHING. He was a big fish in a teeny tiny little pond. Most of the audience has no idea who Samoa Joe is. Samoa Joe as an opponent for Lesnar is LAUGHABLE.
At this point, I don't even care who Lesnar's next opponent is, because, like others have said, Lesnar is winning. Brock Lesnar is the worst thing in WWE history, and yet Vince praises him as a god. His matches are dull and boring, and he ruins complete PPV cards simply with his presence. You know his match is likely going on last, it's going to suck, and Lesnar is going to win. And WWE has had him squash all the top talents, so the idiot casuals won't accept Lesnar losing.

Rumors just released (from Meltzer but sounds quite legit if they need a plan B) that Jericho and Brock got into it in Gorrilla when Y2J "though Brock had gone into business for himself", Trips and Vince allegedly involved...
Now I don't think it's anything but worked... but if they need a plan B, this happening and "getting out" means they can put Jericho v Brock as an instantly hot feud AND there's a kicker...
There is one guy who has heat with both, and is rumored to return...
Goldberg! Last time there was such a fight it was he and Jericho, and Goldberg was famously beaten/embarrassed... his last opponent and recent tormentor is Brock...
Perfect special ref material if you ask me... Balor's injury just makes it for the title... Goldberg of course turns on Brock setting something up... Jericho can carry the title in the short term till Balor returns... Feeling this may have been the plan anyway but a bit further down the line.

I don't know about Goldberg in 2016 against Brock Lesnar in 2016. Goldberg is 49. Undertaker is like two years older than him and couldn't do anything against Brock Lesnar. It looks good on paper and it would have been good many years ago when both guys were still around in the WWE in their first respective runs, but now it just doesn't seem believable. Even if it did happen, I just see him as fodder for Brock Lesnar (additionally to avenge his 2004 loss). Due to the altercation between Brock Lesnar and Chris Jericho, I can see a match happening between these two. Personally, despite my current feelings about Brock Lesnar, I came across this on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRSvfSRA6jE
If there is an opponent that can give Brock Lesnar a fight with some fair offence...I think it's Sheamus. I know the outcome will be obvious, but I think the match would be less of a squash. That could be wishful thinking on my part though since an actual televised Pay-Per-View match would probably be that of a squash.

Whether it goes to a match or not is up for debate... but Goldberg screwing Brock out of the title is a distinct possibility.
Let's face it, now this altercation is out there, Jericho is face again whether they like it or not. He'll get the heroes welcome tonight (unless they purposely keep him off, in which case it's doubled when he returns) if it's remotely true that he not only got in Brock's face but was backed by Trips... then WWE are crazy not to use it to fuel one last run for Jericho.

At least Joe is more well known and established than Braun effin Strowman, and has for the last year built a reputation as a hard ass down in NXT. Plus, as big a hard on as Vince has for Lesnar, he has just as big a hard on for Samoans with tough characters, and Joe plays his Samoan tough guy character even better than Reigns.
Joe is also well known in the wrestling world and to the wrestling/indy fan base, he's just a nobody to the general fans who will buy tickets regardless of who's standing across from Lesnar and based on the rest of the card, too. Joe isn't any worse an option to wrestle Lesnar than Strowman, Orton AGAIN, and especially not worse than Ambrose who couldn't even get a half-decent match out of him.

Well yeah, ANYONE is more well known than Braun Strowman. But stating that Ambrose couldn't get a good match out of Lesnar is false. Lesnar's matches are always piss-poor because of BROCK LESNAR, not his opponent. Since his return in 2012, the only three people (four, if you count Seth Rollins for the Triple Threat) who have gotten good matches out of him are Triple H, CM Punk, and John Cena, who can have good matches with anyone. But his matches with Big Show, Undertaker, Wyatt/Harper, and Ambrose were all crap, and his match with Reigns was absolutely atrocious.

Not the easiest feat in the world to get a good match out of these two these days...
Lesnar's style doesn't mesh well with everyone. This is true about many great wrestlers. Hell, Dolph Ziggler, who few will condemn as a poor worker, had a mid-card special with Dean Ambrose last night. Sometimes there's no chemistry. Sometimes there is. You sound like a zealot.

Already you are trying to pick Lesnars next opponent is beyond belief! Orton is not finished with Lesnar so Orton will avenge for the 12 stitches Lesnar gave him and bloodied him wide open in a UFC Style match and i guarantee you Orton will mentioned it on mic how Lesnar gave him 12 stitches and they will go at it again and once the rematch happens that is when GOLDBERG interrupts the match and gives Orton victory over Lesnar thus building up a new feud with GOLDBERG-LESNER 2 ! I also see Braun Stowman as the next possible opponent cause Crock lesnar won't be able to take Strowman to suplex city and this allows Bray Wyatt to interfere and continue the match
I doubt anyone would take Orton vs. Lesnar II seriously. I know Cena was squashed with like 16 suplexes by Lesnar, and went on to have two more matches with Lesnar regarded serious, but Cena wasn't left a bloodied heap in his defeat the way Orton was demoralized. Plus, Cena's on a level above Orton.

john is in a lower level than Orton! We got ourselves a cena fan here ! Do you recall him getting busted open by lesnar 4 years ago? They had many matches which bored me so Orton is the man who will win over Lesnar once GOLDBERGs music hits ! What an ignorant reply from an ignorant fan lol
I'm not a Cena fat by any stretch of the imagination, but you'd have to not know anything about how pro wrestling works, which you just proved you don't, to not realize that Cena is a superstar above Orton's level. I'm not talking about in-ring ability, which is irrelevant in a pre-determined sport, mind you, but--why do I even bother?
It's easier to just call you an idiot.
Idiot.

For some reason, I just see it being Orton again. There's no way that they let a dream match of that caliber end on a TKO. Believe it or not, it is 'Mania worthy and I think thats exactly what will happen. There's no way Orton will let Brock get away with dominating him like that. But then again, that's probably my inner Randy Orton fan talking.
Like people have been saying, it will probably be Shane O'mac. Even though personally I would love to see him against Cesaro. But it's wishful thinking..

Brock Lesnar vs Shane McMahon will sell. It isnt Wrestlemania but it is a fantastic Main Event for Smackdown PPV No Mercy in October.
They could follow it up with a Team Lesnar vs Team McMahon at Survivor Series. Lesnar can call upon Paul Heyman, Curtis Axel and Shelton Benjamin, McMahon could put together a team of himself, Randy Orton, Rhyno, and a mystery team member in Samoa Joe. Some big dudes there who could pose a threat to Brock and defeat him as a group.
Lesnar vs Samoa Joe would be great, and that is Wrestlemania worthy, but it looks like that slot is going to Lesnar vs Goldberg. I still have a lot of interest in a Lesnar vs Batista feud, but that is a long shot.

Brock Lesnar is a heel once again. Now, what Lesnar needs, is a purpose.
So the main objective for WWE should be: Have Lesnar put over an up and coming babyface at Wrestlemania, for real
I don't care who it is gonna be, as long as this babyface is over with the crowd and has main event stardom potential. It can be Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns, Wyatt, Demon King. Any over babyface that the company is willing to get behind, would do it for me.
That being said, what do you have Lesnar do until then? Just have him destroy crowd favourites like he did with Orton. Build up his opponents in a sympathetic way for the crowd.
I know that the money match ups everyone wants are vs Owens and vs Joe, but we need to put those on the back for a while.
I'd say feed Lesnar Shane McMahon next. Shane draws, so why not? Then feed him Jericho, but not in a squash like match. Have them wrestle for real. Jericho can carry Lesnar to the match of his life, only to have Lesnar make Y2J tap or KO him.
I'd say you have Lesnar beat Shane at Hell In A Cell in a bloody match. Then have Lesnar beat Y2J at Survivor Series. That he comes back from the Rumble and the Wrestlemania build up begins.
Hell In A Cell
Brock Lesnar vs Shane McMahon [Hell in a Cell match]
Shane and Smackdown demand answers from Brock and RAW. Things get out of hand when Brock Lesnar does not listen the suspension Stephanie gives him. Brock appears on Smackdown out of nowhere and tries to highjack the entire thing, he attacks wrestlers and personnel. Shane steps up and challenges Brock at a Hell In A Cell match.
Brock Lesnar wins in a brutal fashion. The referee cannot stop the match when it comes to Hell In A Cell like what happened at Summerslam. Lesnar almost kills Shane inside the Cell.
Survivor Series
Brock Lesnar vs Chris Jericho
After the destruction Lesnar has caused the past months, someone from RAW needs to step up and say to Lesnar, "enough is enough". The veteran Chris Jericho is the best man for this job. Jericho says he's gonna shut up Lesnar for Survivor Series.
After a strong match, Lesnar makes Jericho tap with a Kimura lock.
Royal Rumble
Brock Lesnar vs Kevin Owens(c) vs Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship
A current feud between Reigns and UC Kevin Owens is going on. Lesnar also butts in as the main event attraction that he is. (Also in order to have him become champ by pinning Roman who is a babyface and not Owens who is a heel). Lesnar wins the match, pins Reigns and becomes the new Universal Champion. The he grabs the mic and says that the next time the fans see him will be at Wrestlemania, because he has more important things to do in the meantime.
Wrestlemania 33
Demon King vs Brock Lesnar(c) for the WWE Universal Championship
The Demon King makes his epic return and becomes the #1 contender for the Universal Championship. It's Demon King vs The Beast. David vs Goliath. Good vs Evil. Kayfabe vs Legit. The Devil of Wrestling vs The God of Wrestling (Heyman can call Lesnar that months before WM, as a forshadowing of their battle). The match sells itself really.
Balor goes over, nearly surviving Lesnar's wrath and becomes a mega face.

Hell in a Cell I swear isn't it a RAW PPV because last I heard PPVs are brand exclusive so if that is the case if Lesnar works this PPV then I would somehow through some loophole have Shane compete at this show
Survivor Series multi branded PPV I would have Jericho face Lesnar
Royal Rumble I would have Lesnar competing in the Royal Rumble Match like last year but with Lesnar I would have him come in at like #30 and dominate whoever is left in the ring basically destroying whoever is in there and then cue The Rock...The Great One's music plays and out comes The Rock to distract Lesnar and from behind Lesnar is eliminated by whoever is left in the ring while Rock leaves and Lesnar & Heyman are both irate
Cue WrestleMania 33 build up...Rematch 15 years in the making SummerSlam 2002 15 years later at WrestleMania 33 (2017)...Rock vs Brock II...Rock wins after surviving Brock's onslaught

It absolutely has to be Orton again.
Maybe feed him a Strowman first or something along those lines (depending on what you've got left for dates with Lesnar), but you don't leave a guy like Orton decimated like that, on his re-debut after being out for months no less, just to drop it and move on. It kills Orton.
It could just be the old school guy in me who grew up watching Orton's daddy get busted up worse than that in the opening minutes of a match, brush it off and carry on like it was nothing... but I personally would have a hard time taking Orton seriously as a guy who should be anywhere near the main event if he didn't at least come back for retribution after that match.
He doesn't have to win, and he shouldn't win. Randy Orton in 2016 is not the guy you want finally putting down Brock Lesnar. But just how Cena came back from his Summerslam ass kicking, held his own, and gained retribution... Orton needs to do the same thing.
Hold his own. Make it competitive. Make it close. Let Lesnar go over in the end to establish that he's a cut above, but make sure Orton comes out as legit. Not as the guy who had to have his match stopped because of a cut.
Like I said, that might just be the old school guy in me though.

If Orton gets a rematch against Lesnar the only way that can happen is around Mania season that's the most realistic especially if one of them preferably Lesnar is in the Royal Rumble Match and Orton is kept off TV until the Rumble and makes his return in the Royal Rumble Match eliminating Lesnar and himself to set up a Mania match
personally, i really would love to see lesnar vs joe next but the problem is that it's would mean that WWE would just feed joe to lesnar to be the next victim in this long list of guy that lesnar as destroyed and right now, they need all the stars they can get so sacrificing joe to lesnar like that isn't helping joe at all.
So my pick would be Braun strowman. i really i'm starting to like watching him since he got drafted to raw. The guy is able to play the indestructable monster very well and he finally able to show some personality which is a big plus in my book. So if you book him right from now until wrestlemania, i could see this match being a big deal. 2 undestructable monsters facing each other to see who is the dominant force on raw. The match itself wouldn'T be a great technical bout but if book right, you could tell a great story about how lesnar finally meet his match in strowman and actually have strowman be the one to stop the destructive path that lesnar left. This would created a wrestlemania moment and strowman would be made right there.

I think Brock's immediate next opponent is going to be Orton again. They still have some mileage left to get out of that one.
After that, honestly, unless Brock is to go for the title again, I don't see anyone on the roster big enough for Brock to have a program with. Samoa Joe, maybe, but I doubt it. What I truly want to see and I think a lot of people would love to see is Brock vs. The Rock. Book it for WM and let the chips fall. It would sell like hot cakes and could you imagine The Rock and Heyman on the mic? Pure gold. Other than that, I really don't know.

Seriously, Shane McMahon. Shane McMmahon? Shane McMahon! Nope, no matter which way you say it, it still sounds stupid. First of all, what the hell has Shane done to warrant a match with Brock Lesnar? Have the last name McMahon? Lesnar has beaten John Cena to a pulp, but I'm supposed to believe that Shane McMahon has a chance? Shane is a 46 year old non-wrestler who is past his prime as far as athleticism goes and has literally 0 shot of beating Brock. The fact that he came within inches of beating The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match at Wrestlemania is laughable within itself, but to believe that he can actually put up a fight against Brock friggin Lesnar when people like Orton, Rollins, and Reigns have been decimated by him is stretching kayfabe to it's very limits. If I'm going to watch a Brock Lesnar match at this point, I'm going to watch with the hope that either:
A) A wrestler has a shot at actually beating him or
B) An up and comer has a chance to look good by giving him a competitive match
I love Shane O as much as the next guy but the McMahons being handed these types of opportunities is beyond nauseating and downright insulting at times. Seems like I'm in the minority though so I wouldn't be shocked to see it happen. Disappointed yes, but not shocked.
As far as who's next for Brock, it should be Orton again. Cena got squashed the first time he faced Lesnar and then very nearly beat him in their second match, the story should be the same as pertains to Orton. People have been saying this for years now but it's never been truer in this scenario, let Orton turn into the sadistic character he was all those years back. Let him actually give Lesnar all he can handle, let him come within a hair of beating Brock before Brock eventually puts him away. It's time to start breaking down this aura of invincibility that Lesnar has built up so the fans can actually start buying another wrestler as a legitimate threat to him. At this point, many people don't seem to buy anybody as a legitimate opponent for Brock Lesnar.
Or you know what, build Braun up as just as unstoppable as Brock. Some may hate the idea but Strowman is a legitimate monster and if WWE just goes the Brock route with him for a full year and a half, but as a full-time guy, a meeting between the two at Mania 34 would sell like hot-cakes. Only problem is, Strowman would have to be able to keep fans' interest for that long and I don't know if he has the ability or the talent at this point to do it.

There's nobody. Having him destroy Taker, Cena, and Orton like that.....none of the young guys have the credentials or credibility to take him on, yet. Reigns was clearly the plan, but the fans weren't having it. There's nobody.
Hard to care any more. Every Lesnar match is the same. He doesn't have competitive wrestling matches anymore. It's run it's course to where he could go away without putting someone over and I wouldn't care.
