The ECW legend Sabu has recently expressed his desire to square off against Brock Lesnar. The 57-year-old had retired from in-ring competition last year due to a back injury. However, he is prepared to step out of retirement if a match against The Beast Incarnate is booked.
Sabu wants to face Brock Lesnar
Speaking in a “Title Match Wrestling” interview, he explained why he views Lesnar as the perfect opponent for his final match:
“My dream opponent for my retirement match would be Brock Lesnar,” Sabu said. “It’ll never happen, but I like Brock, I love Brock. I don’t even know him, but I like his work. I like what he does. He doesn’t do anything I do. Everything he does, I don’t do, and that’s what I wanna do. I wanna wrestle somebody who don’t do my s**t.”
Roman Reigns defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 to become the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion. Recently, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ made a shocking return and took out The Bloodline stable with deveasting F-5s. WWE then announced that The Tribal Chief will defend his titles against Lesnar in a Last Man Standing match at SummerSlam.
The event is due to be held on Saturday, July 30, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee. Lesnar and Reigns previously fought in the main event of SummerSlam in 2018. On that occasion, the latter picked up the win to end his opponent’s 503-day Universal Championship reign.
We will have to see what comes out on top in the high-profile headlining bout.
