WWE Powers Up Brock Lesnar After Cena Squash as Speculation Turns to His Next Conqueror

Industry reporting indicates WWE is rebuilding Lesnar as a dominant attraction to set up a future star to defeat him.

Overview

  • Lesnar dominated John Cena in under nine minutes at Wrestlepalooza, with Paul Heyman introducing him before the bell.
  • WWE has quickly moved Cena into a Crown Jewel match with AJ Styles, and reports note he has limited dates left on his farewell run.
  • Bron Breakker has been floated as a candidate, though recent storyline signals of respect between Lesnar and Heyman make that matchup unlikely for now.
  • A Lesnar showdown with Gunther has been discussed in past reporting and is again being cited as a potential route to re-establish the former champion as a top-tier threat.
  • NXT champion Oba Femi is being mentioned as a possible main-roster opponent, with oddsmakers expecting him to drop his title at No Mercy before a call-up.
