It seems like every main event superstar in WWE is falling down. First, we heard from Roman Reigns about the condition he's suffering from, Alexa Bliss has gotten injured, Becky Lynch was pulled out of Survivor Series due to the concussion she suffered and now at this week's Raw Braun Strowman has suffered a legitimate elbow injury.

And though the scenario that happened on Raw was just an angle to cover up Strowman's injury, it seems it could turn out worse than we may have thought.

Also, it's still not clear whether or not Strowman will be able to fight Baron Corbin at TLC as he's going under evaluation as reported by Michael Cole on Raw, if his injury turned out to be worse than imagined, expect Strowman out of action (as he'll require a surgery to recover from the injury) not only from TLC PPV but also from Royal Rumble PPV as he's scheduled to face Brock Lesnar in the Universal Championship match.

So, if Strowman will be left out of Royal Rumble PPV, Lesnar will need a new challenger to defend his title against. So, today in the feature let's take a look at those superstars who might replace Strowman at Royal Rumble to face Brock Lesnar.


#4 Elias

Ever since Elias signed to WWE, he is looked up as a top guy. Though, after Elias made his main roster debut he's not seen around much, with his recent face turn it seems that things have already started to change for him.

Also, with his recent turn in character, Elias is the perfect contender to face Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble next to Strowman. And though, it's clear that if Elias fights Lesnar at Rumble, he will not win the title from the latter, it'll give him some momentum that he needs for now and also it'll be his first one-on-one big match in WWE.

So, expect in coming weeks WWE to announce Strowman's replacement if he's unable to compete at Royal Rumble PPV.

#3 Bobby Lashley

The match between Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar has been rumoured for a long time. And not only Lashley has desired for the same to happen, but also he has confirmed that this match will happen sooner or later.

And given the condition of Strowman, it seems that if WWE ever had a plan for Lashley vs Lesnar showdown at some point in the future then it'll better for them if they use those plans at Royal Rumble PPV instead of any other planned location. And though it seems that Lashley might not win the title from Lesnar, it will give WWE the time they need for now till Strowman made his recovery from the elbow injury.

So, if Lashley replaces Strowman, a brutal match will be seen at Royal Rumble PPV, maybe more brutal than Lesnar vs Bryan's match from Survivor Series.

#2 Baron Corbin

Baron Corbin helped Brock Lesnar to win the Universal Championship at WWE Crown Jewel PPV by attacking Braun Strowman with the title from behind. Although it was clear that Lesnar didn't need his help, Corbin may challenge Lesnar saying that it was him who helped Lesnar to win the Universal Championship again.

And as he's the general manager of Raw, he might use his authority to put himself straight into the Universal title match at Royal Rumble without taking participating in a qualifying match.

So, if Strowman will be out of action for a long time then making Lesnar defend his title against Corbin at Royal Rumble PPV will be the great move as if he gets defeated by the beast incarnate, it's him who will get hurt lesser (career-wise) than anyone else right now.

#1 Drew McIntyre

Drew McIntyre is the best option above all the others mentioned in this feature.

A showdown between McIntyre and Lesnar is rumoured to happen at next year's WrestleMania with the Universal Championship on the line. And given the condition Strowman is suffering from, it's best that WWE to execute those plans early by putting McIntyre against Lesnar at Royal Rumble.

They could set up a qualifying match to determine the next contender who will face Lesnar at Rumble and McIntyre may end up winning the match which eventually will make him the next contender for Lesnar's title. So if McIntyre will fight Lesnar at next year's Royal Rumble, I guess anything may go down as Drew McIntyre is rumoured to be next Universal Champion after Lesnar.
