10 Royal Rumble 2018 takeaways

#7 Brock is STILL a beast

Brock Lesnar

Speaking of taking on two men at once, Brock Lesnar successfully retained his Universal title at the Rumble.

Lesnar turned back the challenge of a very capable Braun Strowman and an ageing Kane, pinning the latter after an F5. Strowman looked good in the match, easily the most mobile of the big men.

A kayfabe-breaking moment occurred when Strowman 'potatoed' Lesnar with an overly-stiff knee to the face. Lesnar responded by berating Strowman verbally before knocking him with a brutal shot to the temple that nearly legit knocked Braun out cold.

Regardless, Lesnar retained his title and will likely continue his run as the company's marquee star.
