3 things that can happen as Brock Lesnar returns on the first WWE RAW of 2020

WWE announced that Brock Lesnar is returning to the first RAW of 2020. This is great news because the company is constantly trying to build up stories, and with Royal Rumble in a few weeks, we may see a surprise challenge for The Beast Incarnate. The Humble Advocate can take down any wrestler verbally, while the reigning Champion takes down the opposition between the ropes.

It is currently a matter of suspense as to who or what Brock or his advocate would address during their return to TV. Paul Heyman is in a backstage role whether or not the current Champion is on TV, due to his corporate duties as the Executive Vice President of RAW.

He is also scheduled to appear alongside his client, and this raises the stakes of the return because the current Champion has not been on any WWE program since Survivor Series where he faced Rey Mysterio.

There are a variety of reasons why this return could be the start of an impressive run for some Superstars, and we analyse here a few things that could happen upon the return of the Beast.

#3 Announcing that he won't take part in the Royal Rumble PPV

The Beast Incarnate

Brock Lesnar has not been on the show for a long time, as he works limited dates with the company. He may return only to announce that he will meet the winner of the Royal Rumble match but wouldn't be a part of the show in any capacity.

This is one of the simplest scenarios, but it must be understood that if Lesnar is returning on the first RAW of the decade, it wouldn't be as simple as this. Despite its unlikely possibility, it is an option that could happen when The Beast Incarnate returns to RAW with his humble advocate.

Dio Maddin was mauled by Brock Lesnar on the November 4, 2019, episode of RAW, and he tweeted hours ago that his goal in 2020 is to beat Brock Lesnar. With the WWE Champion coming back to RAW after Survivor Series, we may see Maddin also show up and challenge him to a match.

This match would be for the title, and while The Humble Advocate would try to verbally smack this new and unexpected opponent, one would have to see how Brock responds to this challenge. This match may not be confirmed on the spot because Dio has never wrestled on the RAW roster, but the next option could be a great way to hype his return and the character.

It would also put into perspective that while Bobby Lashley is busy with his current storyline, Maddin can be used as a filler until Royal Rumble, becoming one of the forces to be reckoned with on the Red brand.

#1 Fatal Four Way challenge for an opponent at the Royal Rumble

Fatal Four Way challenge

If we go ahead with the previous point, Dio Maddin would have challenged Brock Lesnar, but Paul Heyman would try to keep him out of the title picture. In an attempt to do so, he may decide to put Dio in a Fatal Four-Way match or even a Handicap match where the stipulation would be to win against Superstars like Drew McIntyre, AJ Styles, Erick Rowan, or AoP to be entitled to an opportunity at the Royal Rumble.

With the stakes against Dio, it would be great for him to come on top and defeat the powerhouses. This is a storyline that will be a great one for the former commentator and would push him to great heights in the months that follow Royal Rumble.

This would be a great idea, as it starts something fresh that will keep the fans involved in the WWE Championship storyline until the Royal Rumble and beyond.
