It appears Brock Lesnar vs. Bray Wyatt is locked in for WrestleMania 32, but the WWE should possibly consider another feud.
By appearances, Dean Ambrose doesn't seem to be much of a threat to Brock Lesnar. "The Lunatic Fringe" isn't the most impending force on the WWE roster, but if what occurred on RAW this week is any indication, he could make a compelling, formidable foe for "The Beast."

This week on the flagship show, Ambrose was booked to take a beating from Lesnar, but he still kept coming back. The former Shield member only got the upper hand after a distraction from his buddy Roman Reigns allowed him to nail a low blow.
It appears inevitable that Reigns is going to win the Triple Threat Match against Ambrose and Lesnar at Fastlane on Feb. 21 and go on to battle Triple H for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 32. Lesnar seems earmarked for a feud with Wyatt, while Ambrose will likely defend his Intercontinental Championship in some capacity.

While it seems clear The Wyatt Family is being purposely kept away from Lesnar until Fastlane, it's likely Bray's brood will attack "The Beast" and cost him the Triple Threat Match. As it stands, the WWE is having the Wyatts take out giant Superstars, likely as a way to get them over before they go after the biggest one of them all.
The WWE, however, shouldn't overlook a potential battle between Ambrose and Lesnar. One of the more compelling elements of the impending Fastlane main event is the little storyline beef brewing between Paul Heyman's client and the scrappy former Hounds of Justice member.
Instead of going with the current plans, having Ambrose and Lesnar's rivalry spew into a WrestleMania match after the Fastlane main event could be an interesting route for the WWE to take. "The Beast" going after the Intercontinental Championship could be a little unorthodox, so having him cost Ambrose a title defense to further the feud could be in order.
That would then give the WWE plenty of options for its midcard title at the "Show of Shows," but the company would also then have to come up with a compelling way to book The Wyatt Family for the marquee event.
To give Ambrose an even better shot, booking a no DQ match could help him use weapons to marginalize "The Beast."
Lesnar vs. Wyatt is an enthralling matchup and should be tremendous if it happens, but a David vs. Goliath story also shouldn't be quickly dismissed either.
