Royal Rumble 2021 was a bittersweet moment for Brock Lesnar, who is advertised for RAW tonight. On one hand, Roman Reigns cost him the WWE Championship and Paul Heyman turned on him. On the other hand, he won his second Royal Rumble after 18 years.

As a result, Lesnar will be headlining WrestleMania 38. He has to make his choice, and the answer is quite obvious. Everything that has been done is to set up that WrestleMania clash against Reigns. However, there isn't anything that says that The Beast Incarnate has to make his decision tonight on RAW.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

With that said, we fully expect him to announce his intent to challenge Roman Reigns over on SmackDown. This would keep the feud running. But what if Brock Lesnar decides to either not answer, or he takes a U-turn and approaches Bobby Lashley?

Lashley now holds one big win over Lesnar as he dethroned the latter to become the WWE Champion. But will The Beast Incarnate take a detour to get revenge on The All Mighty? That would be a surprising move to make.
