5 Wrestlers who can BEAT Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar has been dominant on RAW for over a year.
Brock Lesnar has been dominant on RAW for over a year.

He is a former NCAA all american amateur wrestler.

He is a former UFC Heavyweight champion of the world.

He is six foot three, and two hundred eighty pounds.

He is the Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar, and he is the most dominant force in WWE and pro wrestling today.

If you need the proof, just look at the list of opponents he has demolished...though victims might be a better term- AJ Styles, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Dean Ambrose....it seems like every time someone comes down the ramp who might actually be able to dethrone the Beast, they end up carted out on a stretcher.

But for all of Brock's power and intrigue, he is a mortal man. There must be someone who can beat him.

Here are five men who might be up to the challenge.


#5 Killian Dain

What do you do when you have someone so powerful and intimidating as Brock Lesnar? You find a man who's bigger, stronger, and more intimidating!

The Belfast Beast has been impressive in NXT. SAnitY's resident muscle certainly has the strength to stand up to Lesnar. However, it is his uncanny agility for a big man that puts him into contention.

Dain isn't as experienced as Brock, but he has experience with Judo and might be able to counter Brock's mat wrestling. It would be a heck of a fight, and we think Dain just might have what it takes to walk away with a win against the Beast Incarnate.

#4 The Authors of Pain

While they primarily compete as a tag team, Akam and Rezar have all the physical tools to give Lesnar a run for his money in a singles match.

The Authors don't just have power and size, they have tremendous pace as well, capable of accelerating to full speed with just a few steps.

If they can get in, do their damage, and then dance out of Brock's reach, either member of the team has a chance to get the victory.

#3 Cedric Alexander

Just in case you thought the only way to stand up to Brock was with size and strength, we posit Cedric as a worthy contender.

Before you laugh at the size Cedric is giving away, keep in mind that he is one of the pound for pound strongest wrestlers working for the WWE. With his incredible athleticism and speed, he's already going to give Brock a hard time.

See Lesnar's clashes with Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero for examples of how a smaller, quicker man can give the Beast a lot of problems in the ring.

Alexander is also possessed of an underrated toughness, as his Fight Without Honor in ROH against Tommaso Ciampa proved.

#2 AJ Styles

AJ Styles is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest, wrestler in the world right now.

If there's a technical move, AJ knows it, and seven ways to counter it. When it comes to high flying, AJ is probably one of the best out there. Even in terms of striking ability, AJ is far above average.

Brock has already defeated AJ once....ONCE. The thing about AJ styles is this- he adapts. He changes his strategy. When faced with defeat, AJ Styles LEARNS.

The next time the two hook up, Brock may not be prepared for what AJ Styles brings to bear.

#1 Bobby Lashley

If Brock Lesnar is a Panzer Tank, the biggest and the baddest on the field of battle, then Lashley is a Hellcat Tank destroyer--faster and designed to take out big targets.

Not quite as big as Brock, but every bit as powerful, Lashley checks all the boxes for a dream opponent of the Beast. Size? Check. Strength? Check. Amateur wrestling? Check. MMA fighter? Check.

The only drawback is that the soft spoken Lashley doesn't have the killer instinct that Brock Lesnar possesses in spades. If Lashley can bring the aggression and be relentless against Lesnar, he has a chance to dethrone the Beast Incarnate.

There you have it; Five men who could defeat Brock Lesnar. Be sure to comment and let us know who else you think has what it takes to beat the Beast!
