Brock Lesnar vs. Walter: Could this Dream Match Actually Happen in WWE?
Is this a dream match for you?
Brock Lesnar is the most dominant Superstar that WWE has ever seen. The Beast Incarnate took the company by storm when he fist debuted in 2002 and 17 years later, he’s still going strong.
Paul Heyman’s client is nearly unstoppable. During his run in Vince McMahon’s company, Lesnar has faced the best and beaten the best. Everyone that has stepped up has fallen down. But what would happen if Walter stepped up to The Conqueror? In the world of WWE, the concept of dream matches is not what it used to be. One legend after another has faced off over the years and every time it happens, fans can check a dream match off the wishlist.
What was once impossible became reality. It’s happened so often now that very few dream matches are actually left. So the only logical step now is to focus on WWE’s legends and the stars of tomorrow. Therein lays the next generation of dream matches.
This is where Walter comes in. The current Progress World champion has become a true sensation in the pro wrestling business over the past several years. His legend has grown match by match since he debuted in 2005 and his star has never been brighter than it is right now. Walter has been called the future of the business and with good reason. But maybe he’s also the future of WWE as well. As fans anticipate his WWE UK Championship match with Pete Dunne at NXT Takeover: New York on April 5, Walter’s immediate future is clear. He will become the face of the UK brand.
But is it possible that the Austrian powerhouse could eventually find his way to WWE’s main roster? Walter made it clear to the company that he wanted to be close to home, which is why he’s working in NXT UK.
He reportedly didn’t want to move to the United States. So it’s entirely possible that Walter may never see the light of day on Monday Night Raw or SmackDown Live. But of course, this is WWE. “Anything can happen in WWE” is much more than a catchphrase. It’s a fact of life in Vince McMahon’s company. Every time fans believe they know where WWE is going with certain talents, the company will suddenly take an unexpected turn.
So perhaps that will also be the case for Walter. He’s only just getting started in NXT UK, which means he has a lot to do before leaving that brand is even a realistic prospect. But then again, time may not be on Walter’s side. He is only 31 years old but he’s already spent 14 years in the business. He’s in good shape physically but eventually, his body will begin to show signs of a career’s worth of bumps. He’s still moving extremely well and there’s no reason to believe he will slow down any time soon. But one day, any chance of a dream match against Lesnar will be gone.
Brock is 41 and while he’s in phenomenal shape, his body will eventually show age as well. Many fans already see the difference between now and 10, even 5, years ago. Brock is not in a bad way by any means but time will not be kind to him forever.
But if time and physical damage were not immediate factors for either man, then what would a bout between Walter and Lesnar look like? They match up extremely well and they fit together in every way that counts. Lesnar relies on the power game and brute strength to carry him through. The same is absolutely true of Walter.
However, the similarities do not end there. Both Brock and Walter are extremely intense and highly motivated individuals. They’re also inanely focused, which means when the bell rings, they own the arena. They look like killers because that’s exactly what they are. They both project an incredibly brutal and completely dominant presence. Even the most jaded fan could look at Lesnar and Walter and believe that both men are the real deal. It’s because of all this that the two are top level stars. They understand what the game is and they know exactly how to play it. The show business aspect of pro wrestling is not lost on either one of them and everyone can see that.
For longtime pro wrestling fans, a dream match between Walter and Lesnar is intriguing because of the challenge that Brock would represent. Walter has battled opponents of every size and shape in rings all over the world. But he’s never face anyone like The Beast Incarnate. But the same is also true of Brock.
Much like Walter, Lesnar can steamroll anyone he steps into the ring with. Walter gives his opponent more than Brock does at times, but Lesnar is fully capable of selling and making the other guy look good as a result. But for WWE fans, this is about much more than just seeing Brock get tested in the ring.
Fans instantly respond to anyone that can take Brock Lesnar off his feet. It doesn’t happen often but when it does, it’s always a big deal. But it’s even bigger when Lesnar wrestles someone that can push him to his limits. Goldberg was a prime example of a guy that came in like a beast in his own right and totally dominated Brock. Many of Lesnar’s feuds have been well received over the years, including those with The Undertaker, John Cena and Roman Reigns. But Goldberg was on a different level.
Why? Because the Hall of Famer took the fight to Lesnar and was never shaken. Despite what Brock did, Goldberg had the answer. This is precisely what Walter would bring to the table and it’s exactly what fans expect from the two men together. The WWE faithful want to see Brock Lesnar taken down. There may be no better man for the job than Walter. As of now, this potential rivalry is merely just a dream. The logistics of Brock versus Walter may be too much even for WWE at the moment. But perhaps one day, Lesnar will stand across the ring from Walter and fans will get one of the most explosive matches in WWE history. Until then, the dream continues.

Chairshot Staff Picks: Money In The Bank
Extra, extra read all about it… Chairshot Staff picks are in!!!
Sing it with me… money money money money moneeeeeeeeeyeeeeee… everybody’s got a price! MONEY IN THE BANK is here!!! How money will our staff picks be?!?
- AJ – Roxanne Perez
- Andrew – Stephanie Vaquer – *Bubba Sparxxx Impression* I don’t tell stories, I let them tell theyself.
- Dave – Guilia – A stacked field but I just like her here.
- DJ – Naomi
- DPP – Roxanne Perez
- Jason – Alexa Bliss
- Patrick – Roxanne Perez
- Rey – Naomi – If Naomi loses, we riot!
- Rob – Naomi
- Greg – Alexa Bliss – Bliss has had huge reactions since returning and is moving a ton of merch. While I can see them wanting to build Roxanne Perez, Giulia, or Stephanie Vaquer, I think Alexa Bliss.
Tunney’s Take: Rhea Ripley – I’ll make my case short and sweet… Mami in the Bank! You can’t leave that money on the table.
Chairshot Pick – Tie – Naomi 3 & Roxanne Perez 3 (Alexa Bliss 2, Giulia 1, Rhea Ripley 1, Stephanie Vaquer 1)
- AJ – LA Knight
- Andrew – El Grande Americano – Feels correct given his push and the fact he’s over.
- Dave – Seth Rollins – Got to push that new faction.
- DJ – LA Knight
- DPP – El Grande Americano
- Jason – LA Knight
- Patrick – Solo Sikoa
- Rey – LA Knight – Looks like another push, and he does have history with Cena.
- Rob – Solo Sikoa
- Greg – Seth Rollins – This company is extremely high in the El Grande Americano gimmick, but this match comes down to Seth Rollins or LA Knight. Given the Rollins storyline, it’s his briefcase to win.
Tunney’s Take: El Grande Americano – Picture this: Chad Gable wins the AAA Mega Championship and El Grande Americano wins MITB! WHAT A SATURDAY in LA!!!
Chairshot Pick – LA Knight 4 (El Grande Americano 3, Seth Rollins 2, Solo Sikoa 2)
- AJ – Becky Lynch – Sadly
- Andrew – Becky Lynch – I still don’t care about Lyra.
- Dave – Lyra Valkyria – Starting to warm up to her and Becky has a lot to do with that.
- DJ – Lyra Valkyria
- DPP – Becky Lynch
- Jason – Becky Lynch
- Patrick – Lyra Valkyria
- Rey – Becky Lynch – Put some fire on the Irish Beef.
- Rob – Becky Lynch
- Greg – Becky Lynch – I don’t think you do a rematch here just to have Becky lose again. Unless Bayley shows up to help Lyra.
Tunney’s Take: Becky Lynch – A big part of me feels that winning this title checks off a major box for Becks in her HOF career.
Chairshot Pick – Becky Lynch 8-3
- AJ – Cena & Paul
- Andrew – Rhodes & Uso – Easy way for Cena to lose without eating the pinfall.
- Dave – Rhodes & Uso – Get the QB back on the winning track.
- DJ – Rhodes & Uso
- DPP – Rhodes & Uso
- Jason – Cena & Paul
- Patrick – Cena & Paul
- Rey – Rhodes & Uso – Heels usually lose these kinds of matches. Logan takes the pin.
- Rob – Cena & Paul
- Greg – Rhodes & Uso – I hope Jey isn’t an afterthought here like Cody was last fall when he was paired up with Roman. I think Cody pins Cena to set up Cody-Cena 2 at SummerSlam.
Tunney’s Take: Cena & Paul – I don’t think Cena is involved in another loss until he loses the WWE Championship. I also think Logan Paul is NOT done trying to capture Jey Uso’s World Heavyweight Championship. …Travis Scott in the house?
Chairshot Pick – 6-5 Rhodes & Uso

May is upon us and with that, so is Backlash from St. Louis! What does the first PLE after WrestleMania have in store for the WWE Universe? Let’s see if the Chairshot Staff can properly interpret the crystal ball of rasslin’ future.
- AJ – Pat MacAfee – Gunther has to start losing control and who better than an announcer.
- Andrew – Pat MacAfee – Goldberg getting involved does seem correct here.
- Dave – Gunther – He’s not losing to a broadcaster.
- DJ – Gunther – Pat is sent to the shadow realm until football season is over.
- DPP – Gunther – Post match beat down leads to Pat time off.
- Jason – Gunther – One massive spot and or bump from Pat.
- Patrick – Gunther
- Rey – Gunther – RIP MacAfee, t’was a good life.
- Rob – Gunther
- Greg – Pat MacAfee – Why? Goooooldbeeerrrrrgggggg!
Tunney’s Take: Gunther – Seems like the right pick here. Pat may be getting some time off and Gunther needs more heat.
Chairshot Pick – GUNTHER 8-3
- AJ – Lyra Valkyria – Becky’s hopefully putting her over, still mad about Dakota.
- Andrew – Becky Lynch – I have no real interest in Lyra currently.
- Dave – Becky Lynch – Lyra is boring AF!
- DJ – Lyra Valkyria – Bayley interferes.
- DPP – Becky Lynch – Becky cheats and steals the title.
- Jason – Lyra Valkyria – Bayley costs Becks.
- Patrick – Becky Lynch
- Rey – Becky Lynch – Story needs to jump up a bit, Becky Charlotte’s Lyra.
- Rob – Lyra Valkyria
- Greg – Becky Lynch – It’s been fun, Lyra. (It kinda hasn’t)
Tunney’s Take: Lyra Valkyria – Bayley’s interference should set up some type of program with Becky as we head towards Summer(Slam).
Chairshot Pick – BECKY LYNCH 6-5
- AJ – Jacob Fatu – Great way to put him over w/ two former WHCs and LA Knight.
- Andrew – Jacob Fatu – He’s Jacob Fatu!
- Dave – Jacob Fatu – Too soon to pull the belt off him.
- DJ – Jacob Fatu – Priest and LA can’t decide who’s is bigger.
- DPP – Jacob Fatu – Your hardcore match, tables and chairs involved.
- Jason – Jacob Fatu – The Champ retains due to or in spite of Solo.
- Patrick – Jacob Fatu
- Rey – Jacob Fatu – All gas. No brakes. Ain’t losing.
- Rob – Jacob Fatu
- Greg – Jacob Fatu – Someone from The Samoan Dynasty ain’t winning a title just to drop it.
Tunney’s Take: Jacob Fatu – Uncle Mo is on Fatu’s side and other than Knight, I don’t see Drew or Priest holding the US title in the current circumstances of this title’s landscape.
Chairshot Pick – JACOB FATU 11-0
- AJ – Dominic Mysterio – Judgement Day shenanigans just leading up to Finn turning on Dom later.
- Andrew – Penta – Dom’s fine having a short reign, could also work for pushing AAA.
- Dave – Dominic Mysterio – He’s probably more over than Penta.
- DJ – Dominic Mysterio – Dirty Dom takes home the gold and the girl.
- DPP – Dominic Mysterio – Big Head helps Dom pull out the win.
- Jason – Dominic Mysterio – By hook and crook.
- Patrick – Dominic Mysterio
- Rey – Dominic Mysterio – Latino Heat keeps burning. Finn gets closer to the edge.
- Rob – Dominic Mysterio
- Greg – Dominic Mysterio – Someone from The Guerrero Dynasty ain’t winning a title just to drop it.
Tunney’s Take: Dominic Mysterio – That belt looks good with the king of chicken tendys. I can see Penta and Rey reforming as a tag team sooner than later.
Chairshot Pick – DOMINIC MYSTERIO 10-1
- AJ – John Cena – Why? Cena wins, lol.
- Andrew – John Cena – Shenanigans ensue so it’s not a clean win.
- Dave – John Cena – The last time is now.
- DJ – John Cena – Randy hears voices telling him he needs an Attitude Adjustment.
- DPP – John Cena – Cena tries to cheat but the ref doesn’t call for a DQ.
- Jason – John Cena – Nefarious means, Randy not ready for Evil John Cena.
- Patrick – John Cena
- Rey – John Cena – Cena just counting down the dates. Should be fun though.
- Rob – John Cena
- Greg – John Cena – You know they want Cody to be the hero in the end.
Tunney’s Take: Randy Orton – Once upon a time Randy got himself intentionally disqualified and it cost John. Saturday, history repeats itself with a 180-degree twist. Cena retains via Orton DQ victory. This time, Travis Scott’s appearance takes care of that task.
Chairshot Pick – JOHN CENA 10-1
