Brock Lesnar: Best Ways for Lesnar to Return at WWE WrestleMania 28

As the old slogan goes, "Here comes the pain." F4WOnline.com is reporting (h/t sescoops.com) that former UFC and WWE Champion Brock Lesnar is in sunny Miami, Fla. today, which just so happens to be where WrestleMania 28 will take place in just several hours.

Lesnar has been out of the WWE since 2004, but there have been rumors swirling for months that the former "Next Big Thing" could return tonight in Miami. If he were to return, there are a few ways that WWE could do it and truly capitalize on the superstar's presence at 'Mania.

John Cena

Perhaps the most obvious of storylines for the South Dakota-born wrestler to return is coming out and giving an "F-5" to John Cena following his match with The Rock.

Lesnar was the face of the WWE during his rise to fame in the company, and was the last flag-bearer before Cena replaced Lesnar in that role when the one-time MMA fighter left in '04.

Cena is the measuring stick for superstars in the company in terms of main-event status, and if Lesnar is going to return, he's going to want to return to his role in the main-event roles and matches.

Big Show

Another way for Lesnar to return and place himself back among the elites in the company would be to get involved in the Big Show versus Cody Rhodes match for the Intercontinental Title. Once upon a time, Lesnar and Big Show had a memorable feud, leading to the infamous moment where the two broke a WWE ring after super-plexing one another onto the mat.

Show and the 2002 King of the Ring were two of the biggest names in the company back in the early 2000s, but now Big Show is finding himself being reduced to the mid-card. A feud with Lesnar could easily help one another return to the spots they once occupied a decade ago.

Jack Swagger

While this is a huge underdog of a scenario, having two of the best college wrestlers in the pro industry go at it would be fantastic to watch. Lesnar is somewhat removed from his days rolling on the mat at the University of Minnesota, him and Swagger got their start at the collegiate level and would work so well with one another.

They both have the same build (albeit Lesnar is a bit more beefed up) and skill set, and the story can easily be billed as the WWE's two best collegiate wrestlers going at it.

Swagger has been in a desperate need of a quality storyline since losing the World Heavyweight Championship all those months ago, and being the first man to feud with Lesnar in eight years would be a good jumping point.
