5 Wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: 11-time World Champion to return at Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar's Royal Rumble opponent

#2 Hope isn't true: Brock Lesnar to face Cain Velazquez at the Royal Rumble

Brock Lesnar

We really hope that this rumor isn't true. Brock Lesnar has already faced Cain Velazquez at WWE Crown Jewel earlier this year and to put it mildly, the match wasn't very good. We get the fact that Cain vs Brock is a big match on paper but WWE has so many better choices for challengers to Brock's WWE Championship although it does not look like the match will lead to a long-term feud between the two.

Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue said that WWE are currently looking at Velazquez to be Brock's opponent at the Royal Rumble. Here's what Tom had to say:

“There are rumors as ever of Cain Velasquez, he is rumored to be coming in for a match at the Royal Rumble, possibly against Brock Lesnar. Brock needs to wrestle someone, there isn’t a storyline so far. We will have to see how that plays out, that will probably start to be built after the Christmas season in the New Year show.Brock Lesnar will have to appear at least, to start a feud, and will undoubtedly appear on the go-home show as well. So whoever he will be feuding with, whether it be someone like Kevin Owens or Randy Orton or Cain Velasquez, we will see as that time comes. If Cain Velasquez does have a match with Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble, he will be a brief one, it won’t last too long and it won’t be leading into a feud.”

Let's hope that WWE change their mind and pick someone else to face Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble.
