Brock Lesnar enters the ring for his match at WWE SummerSlam 2015.

Brock Lesnar is scheduled to face Bill Goldberg at Survivor Series on November 20 but he is expected to win that match and move forward to a new feud. The latest rumors have revealed one possible superstar that will be facing The Beast in the near future.

In a recent announcement by the WWE via Wrestling Inc, it was revealed that Rusev will be facing Lesnar at the WWE Live Event in Mexico City on December 3. The match is already official but the card is always subject to change.

"Joined by his advocate, the always-outspoken Paul Heyman, this Live Event marks The Beast Incarnate's first in Mexico with WWE. And it won't be an easy night for Lesnar, since his opponent that evening will be none other than The Bulgarian Brute, Rusev," the announcement said.

According to The Inquisitr, Rusev facing Lesnar is a way for the WWE testing the waters for a possible face turn for The Bulgarian Brute. He currently has no program after ending the feud with Roman Reigns at Hell in a Cell.

Rusev recently took a beating from Goldberg last Monday on Raw wherein he was hit with The Jackhammer. Many fans disapproved the way Rusev was used since he does not need anymore beatdown from a 49-year-old guy after losing his feud with Reigns.

The news backstage is that the WWE wants Lesnar to work as a heel against Goldberg but it did not get to a great start. Lesnar was cheered and Goldberg was booed last week at Minneapolis and the WWE has to change some plans.

However, the company is still hoping that The Beast will be booed by the crowd. As for Rusev, he survived the massive heat he got last year and he revitalized his career. However, it does not look good that he will be fed to part-timers and old legends.

The Bulgarian Brute has the potential to be a star either as a babyface or a heel. He is very capable of being a great heel since he is an anti-American character. But as a babyface, he has shown that he has the personality to pull it off.

Fans on the internet know how much personality Rusev has by just following his entertaining Twitter account. Nevertheless, these are just rumors at the moment and should be taken with a grain of salt.

There is a big chance that Rusev will remain in the midcard and put over legends but his potential is too much to waste. Check out the video below to see Rusev take a beating from Goldberg last Monday on Raw.
