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

Brock Lesnar’s surprise comeback at SummerSlam stunned WWE fans and disrupted John Cena’s emotional farewell tour. The return sets the stage for a final clash between two of wrestling’s biggest stars.

That's particularly important for the former given what transpired at SummerSlam. Rhodes could feasibly carry the gold into Survivor Series: WarGames in November and then through the Royal Rumble to set the stage for one of the WrestleMania 42 headliners.
