Following his surprise return at SummerSlam, here are three opponents Brock Lesnar must face if he is back in WWE for the long haul.

Cody Rhodes is once again undisputed WWE champion. Rhodes outlasted John Cena in a lengthy, hard-fought SummerSlam Night 2 main event on Sunday to regain the championship he lost to Cena at WrestleMania. But it was Brock Lesnar's return to WWE after the main event that will be the main talking point for many.

WWE fans were stunned when Brock Lesnar returned to the ring on August 3. Lesnar, 48, stepped back into the sport for the first time in two years when he surprised the crowd at SummerSlam 2025 in New Jersey on Sunday.
