Around January this year, Brock Lesnar was involved in a feud with Bobby Lashley. Their rivalry got more intense as Lashley eliminated him in the 30-men Rumble match. During the match, he also had a brief confrontation with Gunther. It started with an intense stare-down, followed by both stars throwing hands at each other.
The segment received a loud pop from the crowd, hinting that fans are interested in seeing the two wrestling juggernauts collide inside the ring. In fact, the reigning Intercontinental Champion also is interested in going one-on-one with ‘The Beast Incarnate’.

‘The Ring General’ recently was a guest on My Love Letter to Wrestling podcast. During the show, he commented on his brief yet intense interaction with Lesnar at the 2023 Men’s Royal Rumble match. He stated he enjoyed the segment, as well as the reactions that it got from the crowd.
He said, “That moment with Brock [Lesnar] was all I needed. I don’t think we needed to have lots of action going on with him, like getting into a little scuffle and stuff. I think just the moment and the crowd’s reaction for that, that was all I needed.”
He then talked further about the possibility of facing Lesnar in the near future. He expressed his interest to face The Conqueror in a singles match. The show host asked him how would he react if Triple H decides to book him against Lesnar. He stated he is all in on the idea.
This is not the first time he has spoken about facing Lesnar inside the squared circle.
