RAW Preview: 3-time World Champion in big US Title match, unexpected heel to challenge Brock Lesnar? (January 6th, 2020)

#5. Brock Lesnar returns

Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is back. It's been nearly two months since we've seen The Beast Incarnate and the last time we did, he defeated Rey Mysterio in an outstanding clash at WWE Survivor Series 2019.

Mysterio presented a great challenge for Lesnar and was more than a worthy opponent. However, with his focus on other opponents (which we'll get to shortly), it appears as though the WWE Champion is without an opponent for the Royal Rumble 2020.

We all know that Lesnar is contractually obligated to compete in all four major PPVs of the year and last year, it was Finn Balor who took on Lesnar at the Royal Rumble.

There is a whole list of opponents who could take that spot and as of this writing, we believe that it's going to be Drew McIntyre who gets the slot and challenges Lesnar for the title. If that does happen, it'll be outstanding matchmaking.
