The Kingslayer has carried Raw for much of 2018.

His Intercontinental Title matches may have saved the Red Brand as Brock Lesnar has been the part-time Universal Champion.

He's shown up every week, put on great matches and has truly gotten the fans behind him. His move set is exciting and begets that of a true top babyface.

What better way to continue to cement that fact than to have him either start and win the Royal Rumble or be one of the first entrants and win?

He could continue to play on the iron-man status he's gained this year and regardless of alignment, the fans always cheer for someone who's lasted for much of the rumble. He's won practically everything else in the WWE except for a Royal Rumble.

All the great ones have a rumble win under their belts and Rollins would need one for him to eventually be considered an all-time great.

Lesnar and Rollins have plenty of history to play going back to when Rollins cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase on Lesnar and Roman back at Wrestlemania 31. They can also play into the recent comments Rollins has made speaking out about the part-time champion and how he (Rollins) is there busting his butt every week.

Some recent reports, whether to be believed or not, have suggested that it will indeed be Rollins to challenge Brock at Wrestlemania 35.

It would be a good match if it happens because Rollins is fantastic at selling anyone's offense and Lesnar would likely be motivated for a big match at Wrestlemania. He also might not be motivated if he's scheduled to drop the title, but will likely wait and see until the Royal Rumble is actually upon us.
