JBL Thinks That Former WWE NXT Champion Could Face Brock Lesnar

WWE legend JBL has discussed Bron Breakker as a potential opponent for Brock Lesnar, although he also argued that their similarities could work against the matchup.

Since his return to WWE, Lesnar has had one match, which came against John Cena. With Breakker seen as the future of WWE, there's been talk about him facing legends like Lesnar and Cena, which JBL said could happen on a recent edition of "Something to Wrestle."

"Yeah, there's no doubt it could," he said. "Sometimes it's hard to say. You know, matchups make fights. Sometimes when you have two guys that are very similar, it's not sometimes great. Brock, to me, is better against a guy like Cody, a Roman, Seth, because it's so different."

JBL also referenced his own tag team career with Ron Simmons, noting that they were never matched against other teams similar to them.

"They didn't want us working with Undertaker and Kane because they thought they said we're too similar, and we thought it'd be great," he recalled. "But maybe they're right about that. I disagreed at the time, I think we all did, but they could have a point. It's easier for the APA to work with Kane and X-Pac because we have X-Pac to really get heat on, or work with the Hardys, or work with Edge and Christian, instead of working with two guys that are very similar to us. I think that can happen with Bron and Brock. I think they're both incredibly talented guys, but sometimes matchups make fights."

Aside from Breakker, there has been speculation that Lesnar could face Gunther, another star widely regarded as the future of the business.
