Brock Lesnar's next opponent could be Jinder Mahal.

After almost being axed as a pay-per-view following disappointing buyrate numbers in 2009—which were down 26% thereby limiting revenue increases to just $400,000 compared to 2008—the classic franchise has recently been home to some of WWE's biggest annual moments.

Survivor Series featured the long-awaited debut of Sting in 2015, and at last year's event, Goldberg made his in-ring return by picking up a shockingly quick victory over Lesnar in just under two minutes. Though Mahal, like most of his peers, is not on Lesnar's level as a box office draw, rubbing elbows with The Beast will only add credibility to a world title reign that came out of nowhere and continues to fight an uphill battle.

An Inter-promotional Match Makes Pay-Per-Views Special. The would-be clash between Lesnar and Mahal would represent the first inter-promotional matchup between world champions of the latest brand split era, and would pit two of WWE's strongest-booked characters against one another.

WWE used a similar formula for its unheralded Cyber Sunday pay-per-view franchise in 2006. The "Champion of Champions" special attraction match between world heavyweight champion Booker T, WWE champion John Cena and ECW champion The Big Show helped draw 228,000 pay-per-view buys. This was up from 174,000 buys for Taboo Tuesday the year before. The following year, without such an attraction, Cyber Sunday regressed back to 194,000 buys
