For those unaware, this year’s Biggest Party of the Summer is set to take place at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN, which is Brock’s hometown. So, WWE might utilize the Beast at SummerSlam 2026 and book him in an official final bout.

In this article, we will be looking at five final WWE opponents for Lesnar if he competes at SummerSlam this year.

#5. Gunther

One of the most favorable names as Lesnar’s final opponent at SummerSlam is Gunther. Over the past few years, the WWE Universe has been anticipating a match against the Beast Incarnate, but it has yet to unfold.

The reason why the Mayor of Suplex City might lock horns with the Ring General is that he has yet to redeem his favor from Paul Heyman. On the road to ‘Mania, 42, Gunther protected the Advocate from the wrath of Seth Rollins.

In return, the Ring General confirmed that he will ask a favor from the Oracle whenever he needs. With the help of Bron Breakker, Gunther defeated the Visionary and secured the victory at WrestleMania 42.

In the post-Mania show, Heyman promised to pay back the former Imperium Leader for beating Rollins at the Showcase of Immortals. With Heyman being Lesnar’s Advocate, Gunther might force the Hall of Famer to bring back the Beast for a final match at SummerSlam 2026.

This appears to be the only way by which WWE can book Gunther vs the Beast after Lesnar’s retirement at Mania.

#4. Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker is another great option for the Beast’s final opponent if he returns to the squared circle at SummerSlam 2026. The new Big Dog came back at the Grandest Stage of Them All, where he destroyed Seth Rollins.

Currently, Breakker is engaged in a feud with the Visionary. Facing Lesnar in a match at SummerSlam will be a great way to put Bron into the main event scenario.

Also, it will be a great torch-passing moment for the Vision member.

#3. Seth Rollins

Another option in this list is Seth Rollins. The Visionary is back and seeking redemption against the Vision members and Paul Heyman. At WrestleMania 42, the Architect failed to defeat Gunther, but still, Rollins is ready to take down Bron Breakker.

Rollins and Lesnar had a heated history in WWE. Both stars locked horns in the company multiple times and secured victory against each other. Another match between them at the Biggest Party of the Summer will be a perfect conclusion to their epic rivalry.

Also, the Lesnar vs. Rollins feud will attract massive numbers on WWE’s social media platforms.

#2. Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre and Brock Lesnar also have unfinished business to settle. The Scottish Psychopath defeated the Beast Incarnate at WrestleMania 36 to become the World Champion.

Since then, their rematch is yet to take place in WWE. If the Mayor of Suplex City has a match at SummerSlam this year, facing McIntyre in a singles match appears to be a great option.

It will give a conclusion to their feud in the World Wrestling Entertainment.

#1. WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is the new World Heavyweight Champion. The Original Tribal Chief defeated CM Punk at WrestleMania to grab the gold again. Currently, Roman is expected to lock horns against Jacob Fatu at Backlash 2026, as the Samoan Werewolf issued a challenge to him on this week’s RAW.

The feud between Roman and Brock is considered one of the biggest in modern professional wrestling. As the OTC is the current World Champion, it makes sense if the Beast returns to WWE before SummerSlam and challenges the Head of the Table for a match.

A match between Reigns and Lesnar at the Shows of the Shows could be a massive way to conclude the Beast’s in-ring career. Additionally, their match will attract a massive crowd to the venue and help the company boost ticket sales.

Also, it will provide a solid match for the OTC during his current World title reign.

Rest, it will be interesting to see how things will unfold at this year’s Biggest Party of the Summer. If Lesnar came out of retirement, then he would indeed be a focus attraction for SummerSlam 2026.
