Brock Lesnar’s Next 3 Potential WWE Opponents After John Cena

Brock Lesnar’s return to WWE at SummerSlam 2025 sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling world, especially after his sudden ambush on John Cena.

The Beast Incarnate’s attack on The Never Seen 17 has fueled rumors of an impending blockbuster showdown that promises to headline a major upcoming PLE and set the stage for unforgettable drama.

During a recent episode of Notsam Wrestling, host Sam Roberts weighed in on who he’d most like to see Lesnar face once the dust settles after his encounter with Cena. Roberts pointed to three formidable competitors who could push Lesnar to his limits, and they are Gunther, Bron Breakker, and Jacob Fatu.

I would like to see Brock and Gunther. I would like to see Brock and Bron. I don’t need to see Brock and Dom to tell you the truth at this point. I would have loved to have seen Brock and Dom a while back, but Brock and Dom now I don’t need to see them. Um, Brock and Jacob, I would go Gunther, Breakker, and Jacob Fatu is what I would say.

Can Brock Lesnar Take Gunther’s Chops?

Wrestling veteran Magnum TA recently expressed curiosity about how Brock Lesnar would respond to Gunther’s signature chops. This discussion was sparked by Bret Hart calling The Ring General’s chops lazy. TA pointed out that Gunther’s chops are among the most brutal and impactful in the business today, and the only thing that would serve to make the extent of its brutality clear is Lesnar’s reaction to the chop.

You don’t know if it’s, you know, real, you know, if I’d like to see Gunther hit Brock Lesnar like that and and see the receipt because, you know, I mean, I know what he did to Braun Strowman when Braun, you know, gave him a little tap and he straightened him out pretty quickly.

The ruthless Beast Incarnate against The Powerhouse Gunther would be a fascinating showdown of physicality and endurance. The WWE Universe has long awaited the two juggernauts to clash inside the ring.
