WWE announced that Brock Lesnar’s SummerSlam opponent will be revealed on this Thursday’s SmackDown episode. Brock Lesnar makes his UFC return this coming Saturday night at UFC 200 from Las Vegas against Mark Hunt.
Brock Lesnar’s WWE SummerSlam opponent was not announced in front of the live crowd during the SmackDown tapings, so it’s likely the announcement will be edited into the show this week. This isn't a shock really as they want to make the biggest bang as possible and hope for a big reaction on the positive well met side that is because it would be a shame if the WWE Universe was to turn his back on them.
Many people have speculated that it will be Bray Wyatt but that remains to be seen. Some people may remember that it was said that Bray Wyatt - Brock Lesnar was supposed to take place at WrestleMania that Bray was supposed to run in on the triple threat match at FastLane last year but at the last moment they pulled the plug on that and the match ending fell flat and it ended up Dean Ambrose costing the Brock the match and after that it was said that Brock Lesnar - Bray Wyatt was being held onto SummerSlam. It is interesting to sit and speculate on who is going to face the Beast, Brock Lesnar. The story going into the match regardless of who he is facing all depends on his outcome of his battle with Mark Hunt.
Speculation
So as of now people's money lies with Bray Wyatt and a feud breaking out there, but what if it wasn't? Other people who spring to mind is people who need something to do so what if Cesaro fights Brock Lesnar at the biggest party of the Summer and he breaks out the famous line he broke on Hulk Hogan the Party is over Granpa! Kevin Owens, he is a prize fighter and Brock is a prize fighter and that would just be a great match overall. Randy Orton, he needs something to sink his teeth into because before he went away he was having fun with his matches he was away from fighting Sheamus everything was going his way. He has had one match with Brock Lesnar during any of his WWE runs and he just put Brock over quickly. Alberto Del Rio, no reason just because he is an amazing worker.
