Who I want it to be: Balor, Nakamura, Styles, Ambrose, Joe, Rollins
Who the WWE will give it to: Reigns
I don't care that the guys who I listed arnt all "young guys". They're guys that the mass fans would be okay with beating Brock (not just the die hard fans but the masses that the WWE caters to). Reigns will get it at some point. But it will be crappednon by the fans and wasted. It needs to be someone who will benefit from it.

What makes shinsuke, balor, or Zayn believable? Joe is believeable, but he is in no way is an up and comer. A) Goldberg hasn't competed in 12 years. Why in the hell would it make sense for him to come back and beat a guy who has reeked havoc on the entire roster for the last 4 years, on top of that he's old. B) from a booking standpoint, it's a big disservice to give that win to somebody who won't benefit from it long term. Goldberg slays, the beast, then what? He's retired for good and that whole build up of Lesnar and him ending the streak was just to eventually feed Goldberg? You need to give that win to a guy who needs it to solidify his status. The way I look at it is the importance of the steak and that aura is dead, and it lives in Brock now since he ended it. So from a booking standpoint, he's the guy to beat, if you beat him, you're made. Guys like Bálor, Joe, or Nakamura would reep the benefits of that victory for the rest of their careers. And from a casual fan standpoint (which I'm not) Joe is an up and comer, just because me and you are familiar with Joe, the majority of the fan base isn't going to be. So I'm their eyes, he's the new kid on the block. From a story stand point 1. Balor would get swatted away like a fly by lesnar 2. Zayn's finisher is so weak to the point that Brock could probably kick out of 10 of them 3.Joe winning would be the equivalent of cena winning 4. I'm going to predict people will jump off this "strong style" bandwagon after 3 months of shinsuke on the main roster. 5. Goldberg makes sense to me because Brock has been dominant since returning in 2012 (with the exception of two matches where weapons were involved) so the last time Brock was pinned clean was Goldberg who could come back to slay this unstoppable beast.

Strowman would make the most sense. He is big n has decent speed for his size. And then he can decimate the roster for a year or two before he gets beaten, and do it on a weekly basis rather than every few months like lesnar.

I know wrestling is scripted, but if someone as big as John Cena can't be Brock Lesnar, than a guy like Nakamura - who looks like he hasn't lifted weights in his entire life - should not be the one to beat Brock Lesnar.
If anyone beats Brock, it's The Rock. Gets his SummerSlam revenge from years ago.

You're forgetting that was 12 years ago, and Goldberg is now an old man, while Lesnar has become a legitimate bad ass who reinvented himself. Nobody who is 50 should beat Lesnar right now. Someone YOUNGER and who will be a star in the coming years should win. Yeah guys like Zayn, Nakamura, and Bàlor are smaller, but they've been active for the past decade unlike Oldberg. And don't you think an underdog storyline of a smaller guy taking down Brock would be a much better compelling storyline and a better match than trying to see Oldberg embarrass himself?

Any huge name who agrees to wrestling Brock but stipulates they have to win. Be it Goldberg, Rock etc. All the work done to build up Brock in 2014 was largely undone in 2015. When they got cold feet on Reigns at WrestleMania, then had Lesnar trade wins with Undertaker, the chance was lost for the one big starmaking victory. So at this point they are best to just get the biggest match they can get, and if the other guy demands to win, fair enough.
Personally though, I'd have it be Nakamura beating him for the title at WM33.

An underdog story could work for anyone except Brock. I'm also sure Brock would refuse to lose to anybody that is convincingly smaller than him.

All Brock cares about is getting paid.

All Brock cares about is getting paid. This 100% people who are saying Goldberg are out their minds. Nobody wants to see a rematch from a match that was completely garbage a decade ago. The guy that should beat Brock is Samoa Joe.

Honestly, Samoa Joe is the best option. Goldberg doesn't need it, The Rock doesn't need it.
It's just stupid.

I'll take heel Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, or Shinsuke Nakamura.
The two worst options are Goldberg and babyface Roman Reigns.

Goldberg wouldn't benefit. He's already a huge starl and I'm a huge fan so this isn't coming from a Goldberg hater. I think Samoa Joe would be one of the best choices because he's not really known outside of the hardcore fan base and that would be a huge boost and solidify him. I would even go with Luke Harper, but WWE would only do that if they wanted him as a main event guy. Bra would be cool too.

Should: Joe or maybe Ambrose in a rematch
Will: Reigns,Cena,I could also see them being dumb enough to give it to Shane.

Ambrose is another guy I'd like to see do it. It wouldn't even have to be a clean match, I don't even expect that. Have a Wrestlemania rematch sort of and have him win this time using the weapons he teased before.
