There’s a reason that we call Brock Lesnar the biggest box-office attraction of the WWE. It does not matter much for the company whether he remains absent from TV. This man means money all the time.
Brock can make up all of his hiatus from TV with one single marquee PPV match. It is why the dual brand PPV events mostly have his name on the main event slot.
Most of the superstars on the roster also want to face Brock Lesnar. It may sound as dumb as hell, but the reality is that there’s no shortcut way to fame than facing the current Universal Champion.
Even when his opponent becomes the victim, he can have this special match on his resume. Only a very few had been able to go toe-to-toe against the beast incarnate so far.
It looks like two of the behemoth names from the flagship show are willing to do this. A recent Twitter conversation broke out that suggests they are dying to face the beast incarnate inside the squared circle. One of the names is Roman Reigns which is quite predictable. The other one is Bobby Lashley who is the new inductee into the list of superstars who wishes to face Brock Lesnar.
WWE had been unable to find a proper opponent for the champion’s next challenger. They have announced a multi-man match at Extreme Rules to determine it. The winner would earn the right to face the beast next.
Paul Heyman had come up with his view in Facebook on this idea of hosting a contender’s match.
I never ducked @BrockLesnar in college. I never had the chance to meet him earlier in @WWE. Never was in same #MMA organization. Now we’re both here again in #WWE. I’m ready. Let’s do it. I’d LOVE to fight Brock. Take that any way you want!

Bobby Lashley had to say something on this. He had never faced Brock Lesnar in college or during his early days in the WWE.
Later, MMA was his next destination but never got the chance to lock horns with him. Now both of them are in the WWE, and he does not want to miss the opportunity. So Lashley wants to face the champion, right away.
This isn’t a college mat or an octagon. This is the squared circle, aka My Yard. So do yourself a favor Bob, don’t assume you’ll make it out of #ExtremeRules. And @HeymanHustle come say all this at #RAW. Please. https://t.co/1CWo6GHLhx

Roman Reigns seems to have a problem with this thought. He does not see WWE as a college or Octagon. It is his yard, and he is the front-runner when it comes to challenging the Conqueror.
He might be referring to the fact that he defeated Brock Lesnar ‘fair and square’ at Greatest Royal Rumble. But the referee’s wrong decision robbed him off the championship.
We are yet to see whether WWE allows any one of them to have their demand in the future. They should have an opportunity on July 15th considering the multi-man match is off the card right now.
The speculations suggest it will be a one-on-one match between Reigns and Lashley. It is yet to see whether Kurt Angle announces this match official to give another prey for Brock Lesnar.
