1) Big Names Ruled Out As Opponents For Brock Lesnar At Wrestlemania 36
There are a few names who have been rumored to be Brock Lesnar’s opponent at Wrestlemania 36. Those names are Cain Velasquez and Tyson Fury, both of whom wrestled their first WWE matches at Crown Jewel.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, both guys can be ruled out as opponents for Brock at Wrestlemania. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
Brock Lesnar’s next match will be on the show. We haven’t been told outright it is a WWE title match, but the other option is the Rumble and WWE hasn’t put the champ in the Rumble in years, plus it makes no sense with the Rumble being for the Mania title shot. There is no obvious opponent for Lesnar at this point for either the Rumble or Mania. Usually you can tell by this time. Because nobody is obvious for those spot, there were rumors this past week of Cain Velasquez (who is in the Rumble as of right now) and Tyson Fury as Lesnar’s WrestleMania opponents popped up. The only thing we’ve been able to confirm is Lesnar will be on Mania barring injury, and neither Fury nor Velasquez will be the opponent.
Meltzer also notes that Edge has been dismissed as a potential opponent for Brock at Wrestlemania 36.
My Take:
- I didn’t want to see Brock vs Fury or Brock vs Velasquez, so I am okay with this. I am still holding out for Brock vs Ricochet for the WWE Title, which I think could be a fun match.
