Court Bauer started a rumor about Kevin Owens wrestling Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 32 after Owens did an interview on the “Like Father, Like Son” podcast where he expressed interest in wrestling Lesnar.
Bryan Alvarez asked Dave Meltzer about this on Wrestling Observer Live and Meltzer was skeptical of the story. According to Meltzer, Lesnar is not aware of any plans for a match with Owens. Meltzer said that he is skeptical of the potential matchup because of the way Owens has been portrayed on WWE television as of late and he is not booked as a top guy.
Here is what Owens said about a potential match with Lesnar in a podcast interview last week:
“I’ve answered this question a couple of times and my answer is always Brock Lesnar because I’d just love to be in the ring with him and see what it’s like. There’s nobody quite like Brock Lesnar, as far as pure strength and viciousness and everything. I’d love to see if I could hang with him and see how much I could hurt him.
I’d love to get in the ring with The Undertaker one day, too. I feel like that’s a long shot, I guess because he wrestles on a limited basis and when he does, it’s always a huge deal. But, hopefully, I can position myself in the next year or so to be seen as a viable opponent for the Undertaker because it would be a thrill to be in the ring with him at WrestleMania or anywhere. It can be on a Raw or a live event, I don’t really care. I’d just love to be in the ring with him. I feel like that would be an experience I’d never forget.”
