When WWE announced Brock Lesnar would be returning to television on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, there was little doubt what he would be back for — to figure out who he would be wrestling at WrestleMania 42 come April in Las Vegas, Nevada.
That’s because they didn’t actually make it clear through Paul Heyman’s relatively brief promo in Atlanta. Instead, he simply laid out the reason Lesnar is one of the most important figures in the industry still to this day — he broke Undertaker’s streak at WrestleMania, you’ll remember — and why everyone should want to go up against him in a match at the biggest show of the year. But when they were walking through the locker room, they couldn’t find any takers.
So they’re doing an open challenge from now until the big event, even giving out the dates Lesnar will be appearing on television in the lead up to ‘Mania. At any point during that time, someone can step up and accept the challenge.
Oba Femi seems like the clear choice to me, and they ran a segment featuring the man himself just before Lesnar’s appearance but he’s got business to handle with Rusev first. GUNTHER is also out there as a compelling potential option.
Who do you want it to be?
