Then you build a new face who ends up beating this unstoppable monster in the end. That's how you book Lesnar.

You make a good point, Gerty, but my issue is that Big Show's already been destroyed by Lesnar. And not just beat up, but literally John Cena at Summerslam levels of destruction. Why would anyone tune in to see him fight Lesnar when they know full well he got eaten alive last time? It'd be like throwing Justin Gabriel at Lesnar in a main event PPV match at this point.
At least Henry never actually got a match with Lesnar. He'd be a far better choice in terms of credibility, but if he fights Rusev now and looses then he won't be credible either.
Overall I think WWE has just fucked up big time all together with this. Anyone who could be a threat to Lesnar has already been beaten by him now. I don't see how having him beat the same guys over is going to build him up.
I mean, I guess this is the best option, but it's not a "good" option.
