Possible WWE WrestleMania 42 Opponents for Brock Lesnar

It’s unclear as to what WWE has planned for Randy Orton heading into this year’s WrestleMania. If he needs a match, then why not have him go at it against a rival from his past?

When it comes to Brock Lesnar colliding with Randy Orton, it’s usually a rare and challenging match for “The Beast. With both men coming from the infamous OVW Class of 2002, it’s quite interesting that they wrestled only two matches against each other.

The first bout took place on SmackDown in 2002, and the second happened at SummerSlam 2016. Since Lesnar stated he plans on retiring this year, fans can see Lesnar and Orton go it one more time to symbolize the end of an era, much like Triple H and The Undertaker’s match at WrestleMania 28.  

Oba Femi

After weeks of WWE promoting Oba Femi’s debut on the main roster, Femi finally made his presence known at the Royal Rumble. Femi pulled a dominant performance by tying with Roman Reigns for eliminating the most wrestlers in the match. There was also a tease for a likely Femi/Lesnar matchup at WrestleMania when the two had an epic staredown.  

A match of that caliber would be fresh for Brock Lesnar, as he hasn’t worked with that many people since his return last summer. With the rumor of him retiring at SummerSlam in his home state of Minnesota, there’s definitely a chance that he work with Femi before his time ends. 

LA Knight

If there’s anyone Lesnar could have a story with, it’s LA Knight. At the Royal Rumble, LA Knight made an impact by helping Cody Rhodes eliminate Lesnar from the match. Working with Lesnar would be huge for Knight, as it would be another main event star for Knight to compete against.

This story can start somewhere on RAW in the coming weeks or at Elimination Chamber. If the feud between Knight and Lesnar starts at Elimination Chamber, it can begin with an interference. If Knight has the chance to earn an Undisputed WWE Championship Match at WrestleMania, Lesnar can come out and cost Knight his opportunity. The first motive would be due to Knight preventing Lesnar’s chance of main-eventing WrestleMania.

The second reason would be Paul Heyman calling Lesnar for a favor, as Knight has been seeking vengeance on The Vision. It would also be a good way to end Knight’s long rivalry with any Vision members finally. 

As WrestleMania quickly looming, who will step up to the plate and face “The Beast” at WWE’s biggest show of them all?
