A lot of people in The IWC are buzzing because they believe that Brock Lesnar may be making a comeback to WWE which personally i don't see due to the fact that Brock Lesnar could not hack the schedule six years ago when he was young and single so now he is married with a young child it is even less likely but hyperthetically if he were to return then there is one feud out there that could be HUGE in Cena/Lesnar and i want to know just how big people think it could be.
Going into 2004 it was clear then that John Cena was being groomed as the top face in WWE as he was the most popular wrestler in the company despite being a mid carder and at 26 years old was a perfect age whilst Brock Lesnar was already one of the biggest stars in the company and had come through at the same time as John Cena, Randy Orton and Batista. I have always believed that Vince McMahon had plans for Cena/Lesnar to be the generation defining long term feud over the years with Batista and Randy Orton as the next in line but with Brock Lesnar leaving it didn't work out like that.
Now John Cena is the biggest star in the wrestling industry and has been for a good half decade whilst beating every big name outside of The Undertaker in WWE in that time including Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Batista, Randy Orton, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit, Edge and Booker T. He is the single biggest draw anywhere in wrestling and has HUGE mainstream appeal to the extent of making people from outside of the wrestling world tune in to watch him and in their one and only feud John Cena was nowhere near the level he is now and wasn't really that believable in beating Brock Lesnar.
Obviously because of Brock Lesnar being so dominant briefly in UFC and having that exposure as well on top of his previous run in WWE he is now a HUGE star in his own right and has mainstream appeal due to the fact he is so agile for his size and is known as a freak of nature in UFC. I do not know PPV buyrates with Brock Lesnar in the main event but i have read in many places that Brock Lesnar is the biggest draw in UFC which is why Dana White wants to sign him to another contract as soon as possible.
When you add all of that up together it says to me that Cena/Lesnar would be the biggest drawing feud since Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock because there hasn't been two people who had such mainstream appeal since those two left nearly eight years ago and if done right and unrestricted in what they can do in the feud Cena/Lesnar could realictically change the industry in regards to ratings and buyrates. The likelihood of Cena/Lesnar happening is slim at best but if Vince McMahon went to Brock Lesnar after he has completed his last fight in his contract with UFC and offered him a HUGE contract for a couple of years that allowed him to work only tv and PPV's you never know.
Obviously upon his return Brock Lesnar would have to dominant and if he were to return then SummerSlam would be likely because Dana White is never going to allow Brock Lesnar to have his last contractually agreed fight with UFC before WrestleMania. A Cena/Lesnar feud for SummerSlam would be HUGE with Brock Lesnar going over and then John Cena winning the next match with Brock Lesnar winning the third and final match for then in a gimmick match but because of how HUGE i believe Cena/Lesnar would be a WrestleMania 28 match as the main event would be even bigger than anything else but how big do you believe Cena/Lesnar would be IF it were to happen.
