6 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: 3-time World Champion possibly retiring at WrestleMania 36, Returning star expected to eliminate Lesnar at Royal Rumble

#5. Hope isn't true: The superstar expected to eliminate Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar's entry into the Royal Rumble has taken many by surprise. Given that there's no challenger on the horizon, perhaps it's not the worst thing that creative has done in recent times.

Logic would state that the objective, of course, would be for the man who eliminates Lesnar to be set up as his opponent for WrestleMania 36. Tom Colohue told Korey Gunz on Dropkick DiSKussions that the plan is most likely for Cain Velasquez to return and eliminate Lesnar. Here's what he said:

What’s most likely to happen that it’s going to be Cain Velasquez. But we are where we are with that one. I have mentioned in a previous report for Sportskeeda that the initial plan was for the Royal Rumble to feature another Cain Velasquez match or at least, Cain Velasquez would still be competing with Lesnar at some point. There was a little bit of loss faith in Velasquez, so that could be at play here.

As you know, Lesnar got his "revenge" for Velasquez knocking him out years ago by submitting him in Saudi Arabia this past November in just two minutes. While we love the idea of Velasquez returning, we hope this isn't true because the idea of Lesnar vs Velasquez at WrestleMania doesn't seem too appealing.
