WWE legend JBL has discussed Bron Breakker as a possible opponent for Brock Lesnar, although he also argued that their similarities could work against the matchup.
Lesnar, since his return to WWE, has had one match, which got here against John Cena. With Breakker seen as the longer term of WWE, there’s been discuss him facing legends like Lesnar and Cena, which JBL touched upon in a recent edition of “Something to Wrestle.”
“Yeah, it actually could [a match between Lesnar and Breakker could happen]. Yeah, there is not any doubt it could. You already know, sometimes it’s hard to say. You already know, matchups make fights. Sometimes when you’ve two guys which might be very similar, it isn’t sometimes great. Brock, to me, is healthier against a man like Cody, a Roman, Seth, you recognize, since it’s so different,” he said.
JBL referenced his own tag team profession with Ron Simmons to spotlight that they were never matched against other teams just like them.
“You already know, once we were, you recognize, type of, I assume at our peak or whatever you should call it, me and Ron were rolling through guys, they didn’t want us working with Undertaker and Kane because they thought they said we’re too similar and we thought it would be great. But perhaps they’re right about that. I disagreed on the time. I believe all of us did. But they might have a degree,” he recalled. “You already know, it’s easier, you recognize, for the APA to work with Kane and X-Pac because we now have X-Pac to essentially get heat on or work with the Hardys or work with Edge and Christian, you recognize, as an alternative of working with two guys which might be very just like us. I believe that may occur with Bron and Brock. I believe they’re each incredibly talented guys, but sometimes matchups make fights.”
Except for Breakker, there has been speculation that Lesnar could face Gunther, one other star considered the longer term of the business.
