With rumors that the WWE WrestleMania 42 opponent for Brock Lesnar is already set, there may be some stories already in motion.
From rivalries that have not yet been revealed to others that could be revived on the Road to WrestleMania 42, there are some intriguing options.
Here are six potential opponents for Brock Lesnar at WWE WrestleMania 42.
6. LA Knight
With plenty of support behind him, LA Knight is set to participate in the upcoming Elimination Chamber bout although it seems that his result could have been spoiled.
Reportedly, Brock Lesnar’s WrestleMania 42 opponent may already be selected and it could be the Megastar, LA Knight — seemingly ruling both out from actually winning the Chamber match.
With the fan favorite babyface Knight certainly able to end up a formidable foe for Lesnar, there could certainly be a David versus Goliath battle building.
While the duo haven’t specifically had a major showdown just yet, there could certainly be moments that have yet to come to fruition in the Elimination Chamber match.

5. Oba Femi
Another potential foe that fans were pitching for a WrestleMania 42 bout against Brock Lesnar has been Oba Femi.
After the pair tangled in the Royal Rumble, it would seem that they could be headed for a major showdown in the future.
Certainly a huge match that could be amazing for WrestleMania 42, the pair could have a great display of both size and speed.
Able to serve as a wonderful showcase of the past versus the future, there could be an emerging theme as the booking for WrestleMania 42 continues to come together.

4. GUNTHER
On the heels of seemingly retiring AJ Styles, WWE fans are curious about what could be next for The Ring General, GUNTHER.
With speculation that GUNTHER could end up being Brock Lesnar’s final WWE opponent in the end, it could be that WrestleMania 42 proves to be a tease for things to come.
Potentially escaping GUNTHER now, it could be that Lesnar ends up falling to the Ring General’s Career Killer gimmick by the time SummerSlam 2026 in Minneapolis rolls around.
Using a major WrestleMania 42 match to not end a storyline but rather begin one could be a fun play on the expected.

3. Chad Gable
While Gable has yet to make a return to in-ring action as his own character, there has been an intriguing return as of late that could be a tell.
With the return of ‘The Original” El Grande Americano, it could be that Chad Gable isn’t far behind.
Although a logical feud between the OG Americano and Creed Brothers against the trio of El Grande Americano, Rayo & Bravo Americano, perhaps there could be a swerve that sees their feud end before WrestleMania 42.
Potentially freeing up Chad Gable for more serious action against Brock Lesnar, the bout would undoubtedly be a memorable one and could also prove to be a passing of the torch moment to the technically excellent Gable.

2. The Wyatt Sicks
While this pitch is the most unlikely to occur at at WrestleMania 42, the idea is certainly a fun one to think about.
If there are any configuration of men in WWE that could conceivably take on Brock Lesnar, it would be Bo Dallas (Uncle Howdy), Erick Rowan, Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis.
Able to create a compelling feud that includes elements that could be cinematic as well as in-ring drama, there could be a career retrospective of Lesnar’s biggest WWE feuds through this one.
With the match able to be more of a spooky and fun battle for Lesnar, potentially making his way through the members in several set-ups before finally hitting the ring to go to war with Uncle Howdy (of course with some fly-in interference from Nikki Cross), the bout could end up going viral for Lesnar ultimately able to conquer the crucible.

1. Cody Rhodes
With Cody Rhodes’ WrestleMania 42 opponent as yet to be determined, perhaps it could end up being Brock Lesnar in the end.
Since the duo have already gone to war in the past, it may make sense to see them do battle one final time.
With Lesnar having been defeated by a slim number of opponents in WWE, perhaps a win over Rhodes would set him on the path to retirement — while casting Cody on the road to redemption.
Certainly able to conquer the Beast in the end in a victorious moment by SummerSlam 2026, it could be that Rhodes is the perfect opponent for Lesnar at WrestleMania 42.
