Brock Lesnar is one of the most prominent stars in the history of WWE. He has main-evented multiple WrestleMania in the past. However, Lesnar’s WrestleMania 39 status went through a roller coaster ride. There have been various twists and turns regarding his opponent at The Showcase of the Immortals. According to various reports, multiple names were proposed for Lesnar’s WrestleMania opponent backstage.

Despite all the rumors and speculations, WWE officially put Brock Lesnar in a match with Omos at the biggest night of the year. As a result, the fans despised the match booking and criticized WWE for the decision. According to recent reports, the Nigerian Giant was not even on the list of backup opponents for The Beast Incarnate. Besides, some reports also stated that WWE looked at Stone Cold for a match against Lesnar. However, The Rattlesnake turned down the idea of the match.

Reports suggest that there have been multiple changes in plans for The Beast Incarnate. However, according to an exclusive report by Fightful Select, Gunther was the name that was pitched next for Brock Lesnar’s opponent at WrestleMania 39. But WWE discarded the idea at some point of time. Moreover, the WWE Universe was on the edge of their seats to witness the match between the two massive forces.

In addition to that, Fightful Select stated that Bray Wyatt was also on the list of opponents for Lesnar at Mania. However, The Beast Incarnate denied the idea of the match with Wyatt. As a result, WWE booked The Eater of Worlds with Bobby Lashley for the biggest night of the year. Furthermore, Fightful reported that WWE was also considering Lashley at some point as an opponent for Lesnar. However, the company scrapped that idea too for some undisclosed reason.

Therefore, Brock Lesnar’s WrestleMania match went through various twists and turns. According to the reports, WWE did not go with any of the superstars on the list and instead handpicked Omos. However, the WWE Universe strongly condemned the decision to pit The Beast against the Nigerian Giant.

Brock has been a part of various high-caliber matches in the past. He has headlined five WrestleMania in his career. Therefore, WWE believed that booking Omos in a feud with Lesnar would elevate the career of the Nigerian Giant. Besides, Omos has not done much since becoming a WWE superstar. Hence, the company thought that giving him the spotlight with a superstar like Lesnar who has star power would accentuate his career.

However, as of recent times, The Beast Incarnate has struggled to get a victory over his matches. Therefore, there is a good possibility that WWE is thinking of booking Lesnar as a dominant force once again. And nothing could look more catastrophic than destroying a 7-foot giant. As a result, WWE booked the match between the two Goliaths at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
