As of now, he’s confirmed for the “Royal Rumble” PPV and will most likely announce his spot in the “Royal Rumble” match for Roman Reigns’ WWE Championship. Lesnar is also advertised for “Fastlane” and he’s an obvious lock for Wrestlemania 32. However, what’s not a lock is who Brock will be facing at those events.
There has been a lot of speculation for Lesnar to be facing Kevin Owens, Sheamus or even The Rock at Wrestlemania in Dallas. Any of those matches will work for “Fastlane” or Wrestlemania on their own, but do any of those feuds have the ability to provide a solid build-up for the next three months?
Sure, Brock vs. Rock does, but we don’t know if The Rock is even wrestling. Plus, both of their schedules makes that match hard to build.
There is one superstar that has proven he can build a feud regardless of his opponent’s television time, and he’s surrounded by giants.
I’m talking about setting up Bray Wyatt vs. Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 32.
Last year, Bray Wyatt carried the entire Wrestlemania 31 feud with The Undertaker by himself. The Deadman didn’t appear once in the build-up to Mania against Wyatt. That’s how good Wyatt is on the microphone and what kind of atmosphere his character has developed. He’s proven Lesnar wouldn’t need to be there every week.
Not to mention, Bray Wyatt vs. Paul Heyman on the microphone would be very interesting to see. The intelligence and intensity of Heyman on the mic against the insanity and brutality of Bray Wyatt’s voice would be a fantastic combination to build the feud even if Brock Lesnar never appeared on television.
What makes this feud interesting is Wyatt’s reason for targeting Lesnar. It only makes sense that someone like Bray Wyatt would want to poke The Beast and see what happens. The Wyatt Family targeting the biggest threat on the roster asserts their dominance ten fold over the WWE. It’s a storyline that would make sense.
For Lesnar, this is a new and unique opponent for him. The actual match at Wrestlemania between Bray and Brock would be very interesting to see, but the build-up would have Lesnar trying to deal with Wyatt’s three giants. Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper would all be able to contain
Braun Strowman, Erick Rowan and Luke Harper would all be able to contain The Beast for months, and a feud with Lesnar would put them all over, especially Strowman who could potentially match Lesnar in the ring. That would get Brock from the “Royal Rumble” through “Fastlane” easily and then onto Wrestlemania to see Lesnar finally get his hands on Bray Wyatt.

There is something random, brutal and fantastic about all these elements coming together that screams big money for Wrestlemania. Lesnar probably goes over, which is something many fans would complain about despite Wyatt being in three Wrestlemanias with John Cena, The Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar as opponents.
Lesnar vs. Wyatt could last for several months, give good physical matches and battles, great mic work and a unique feud that we’ve never seen before. Most importantly, it would benefit everyone in some way and get five superstars rolling in 2016. It’s a great potential feud and something that is must see to me.
