Brock Lesnar is still the biggest draw WWE has and he is expected to have a big match at the biggest pay-per-view of 2017. According to the latest rumors, Lesnar will face Shane McMahon at WrestleMania 33 next year in Orlando, Florida.
The Beast has been on a tear ever since defeating The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30 in 2014. He became the most unstoppable superstar the WWE has ever seen. Any of his matches are also considered as moneymaker especially if he is up against a big name.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Lesnar will be facing Shane-O-Mac at the Grandest Stage of Them All next year. They already have a feud in place since the two had an interaction at this year's SummerSlam.
Shane, who is the SmackDown Live commissioner, was hit by an F5 by Lesnar to end the event in August. Many believe that it will lead to match but not at WrestleMania 33 since fans are hoping for a Lesnar vs. Bill Goldberg rematch.
However, Meltzer noted that Lesnar vs. Goldberg II is going to happen this year at the Survivor Series in Toronto, Canada. It has been rumored that the WWE wants to make it happen now because Lesnar's WrestleMania 33 match is already set and Vince McMahon wants to increase some ratings.
"WWE already has plans for Brock Lesnar that they're not changing. Whatever they are and I guess Shane McMahon probably is if you watch the TV and everything. Everybody's going like Lesnar vs. Goldberg should be at WrestleMania, and I think with Vince, he thinks Shane vs. Lesnar should be at WrestleMania," Meltzer said in the recent episode of the Wrestling Observer Radio.
According to The Inquisitr, a Shane vs. Lesnar match is something that has not been done before. It is also noted that the WWE roster currently has no superstar that can challenge The Beast. Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura are still in NXT while Big Cass and Braun Strowman are still green in the ring.
The star on Lesnar was fading before his controversial win against Randy Orton at SummerSlam. He had a lackluster match in last year's WrestleMania 32 against Dean Ambrose but a matchup with Goldberg has revitalized the WWE universe.
Nevertheless, these are just purely speculative at this point and nothing has been confirmed since the WWE tends to change their plans on a daily basis. Check out the video below to see Lesnar hit the F5 on Shane-O-Mac.
