Brock Lesnar made his return to WWE back at SummerSlam 2025 for what many believe will be his final run in the company.

With reports and rumors circulating that Lesnar may call it a career following SummerSlam 2026 in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the company should be discussing and determining who will replace him as the #1 monster heel in WWE.

Looking at the WWE roster, there are several different options who could fill this role and make an impact on the level of what Brock has been able to achieve across the past 24 years.

Here are eight potential WWE replacements for Brock Lesnar.

8. Royce Keys

At WWE Royal Rumble 2026, Royce Keys made his debut with the company as an entrant in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match.

In short yet effective showing, Keys displayed what makes him someone who has been a formidable monster in All Elite Wrestling over the past five years.

The former Powerhouse Hobbs has not been seen on WWE television since his initial debut, but recent reports have revealed that the company is prepping him for his official main roster debut on either Raw or SmackDown.

Keys checks every box in regards to size, strength and presence to fill the void in WWE that should be left behind by Brock Lesnar after his retirement.
