When one talks about the most dominant entities in the history of this business, Brock Lesnar's name is bound to come up somewhere at the top. Lesnar is an extraordinary athlete whose mainstream appeal helped him bag a lucrative WWE contract in 2012 and went on to have a multiple-year successful run in the company.
Brock Lesnar wrestled his last WWE match against Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 36 and lost his WWE title to The Scottish Psychopath when all was said and done. Lesnar disappeared from WWE TV following the loss, and it was revealed later that his contract with the company had expired. There's no concrete news yet in regards to a possible Brock Lesnar return somewhere down the line.
On the other hand, the 2021 Royal Rumble PPV is almost on the horizon, and there's a chance that The Beast will return to WWE at the big event. In the following list, we will take a look at five possible reasons why Brock Lesnar might come back to WWE and win the 2021 Royal Rumble match.
#5 Brock Lesnar's revenge on Drew McIntyre for what happened at WrestleMania 36
At the 2020 Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar ran through a string of wrestlers before he was eliminated by Drew McIntyre from the match to a loud pop. Lesnar couldn't believe what had just happened and left the ringside area in shame. Months later, McIntyre put down Brock Lesnar in the middle of the ring to win his first WWE title, in the main event of WrestleMania 36. Brock Lesnar hasn't been seen on WWE TV since then.
Brock Lesnar would want to exact revenge on McIntyre and recapture the WWE title
Brock Lesnar's quest to get back at McIntyre could start with a major Royal Rumble win this year, assuming McIntyre beats Goldberg to retain his WWE title at the same event. There haven't been many Superstars in WWE history who managed to go toe to toe with Brock Lesnar, let alone defeat him in a dominant fashion. The Beast's big Royal Rumble win will make sure that he gets a shot at the WWE title at The Grandest Stage Of Them All. This way, The Beast Incarnate could take back what he certainly believes belongs to him.
#4 WWE needs Brock Lesnar now more than ever, and his Royal Rumble victory would be an incredible way to kick off the Road to WrestleMania 37
WWE needs a big name like Brock Lesnar, as WrestleMania 37 is approaching closer every week. Lesnar hasn't been a part of WWE TV for almost a year now, and ratings for WWE RAW have become quite embarrassing at this stage.
At this point, Brock Lesnar's return to WWE TV and a major program involving him on the Road to WrestleMania will guarantee a boost in ratings for at least the next few months.
Brock Lesnar is one of the biggest draws in WWE history
Brock Lesnar has proven time and again that WWE fans love to see him on their TV screens. His major mainstream appeal helps WWE garner views from casual fans as well as the ones who don't watch WWE at all.
The Road to WrestleMania 37 will kick off at the 2021 Royal Rumble event, and WWE would benefit from Brock Lesnar's presence on their shows for the entirety of this year's WrestleMania season.
#3 A babyface Brock Lesnar could return to lock horns with The Tribal Chief
Brock Lesnar hasn't donned the persona of a babyface for a long time now. But the opportunity to have a babyface Lesnar has seemingly arrived now. WWE SmackDown is currently ruled by a ruthless, no-nonsense version of Roman Reigns, who calls himself The Tribal Chief. He is managed by Paul Heyman, the man who once used to provide his services to Brock Lesnar.
The Beast wouldn't be happy one bit after witnessing this surprising turn of events in his absence.
A babyface Brock Lesnar versus a heel Roman Reigns would draw a lot of attention
Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns have faced off on various occasions in the past, with Lesnar always being the bad guy in the story. This time around, WWE can re-establish this old rivalry with the roles reversed, and it would certainly make for a unique presentation for WrestleMania season.
Furthermore, Brock Lesnar hasn't collided with Roman Reigns ever since he lost the Universal title to The Tribal Chief at SummerSlam 2018. Lesnar would love to take revenge for that big defeat from three years ago by winning the Royal Rumble match and taking on Reigns at The Show of Shows.
#2 Brock Lesnar wouldn't want to miss out on a lucrative deal and a big WrestleMania payday
Brock Lesnar was a mainstay in WWE for around eight years, following his blockbuster return on the RAW after WrestleMania 28 in 2012, where he confronted and put down John Cena with an F5. He enjoyed a lucrative contract with WWE, which saw him make occasional appearances for a lot of money. Brock Lesnar's mainstream popularity helped him secure one of the sweetest deals in WWE history. There were times when he was absent from the weekly shows on a frequent basis, despite being the top Champion.
Brock Lesnar is bound to earn a lot of money for his WWE return
Brock Lesnar is well aware of his worth when it comes to pro-wrestling. Vince McMahon and company wouldn't want to see him go somewhere else, for a bigger and better contract. All Brock Lesnar needs to do is make a few appearances, starting from the Royal Rumble, all the way to WrestleMania 37, to earn a bunch of huge paydays. It isn't something Lesnar would want to miss, knowing fully well that he wouldn't be asked to make regular appearances on a weekly basis, and he may only wrestle a couple of matches including the Royal Rumble.
#1 The rumored blockbuster Triple Threat match involving Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar is currently rumored to make his return to WWE for WrestleMania, and plans for him include a huge Triple Threat match at the mega event. The report was posted by WrestleVotes, a handle that has proven itself to be quite legitimate over the past few months. The match will be a Triple Threat affair, pitting Brock Lesnar, Keith Lee, and Drew McIntyre.
Will Keith Lee and Brock Lesnar collide again in the Royal Rumble?
If WWE goes ahead with this rumored match at WrestleMania 37, a Brock Lesnar return is imminent. Brock Lesnar and Keith Lee could be the final two Superstars in the match, with both wrestlers going over the top rope at the same time and being declared co-winners of the match, like how it happened way back in 1994 with Bret Hart and Lex Luger. If Drew McIntyre manages to defeat Goldberg at the event earlier in the night, he will then go on to face both Brock Lesnar and Keith Lee in a Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 37 with the WWE title on the line.
