WWE Royal Rumble 2020: 5 moments that surprised the fans

#3 Brock Lesnar destroys everyone in the first half of The Men's Royal Rumble

The great moment when Brock's reign of terror finally ended

I am sure a lot of us were really hating the first half of the Men’s Royal Rumble. Brock Lesnar, the frequently absent WWE Champion, was a surprising choice to volunteer to be the number one entry in the Men’s Royal Rumble match.

What could be gained for Brock to go first? It seems shutting down and destroying a large portion of the WWE roster.

It was certainly unique and/or boring for Brock to eliminate number two through fourteen in the Royal Rumble match and to tie the record of 13 eliminations.

It became really frustrating to see wrestler after wrestler stupidly enter the ring alone and get quickly being thrown out by Brock Lesnar.

Did we need to see Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston lose to Lesnar again? Did we need to see the returning John Morrison eliminated in nine seconds? Did we need to see Keith Lee lose so quickly?

I am sure all of these questions will be debated by WWE fans for a long time. We cannot deny it was a surprising booking choice, and it allowed the fans to get behind the man who finally ended Brock’s reign of terror.
