The Beast Incarnate is scheduled to make his return on the first RAW episode of 2020, and this has got the entire Red brand hyped. There are rumors that we may find out the next opponent for the reigning, defending, undisputed WWE Champion at the show. With Royal Rumble just days away, and this being the first RAW episode of this decade, the company would try to ensure that the fans are entertained and the options keep them involved in the story until the PPV hits our TV screens.
This would require sheer storytelling skills and great in-ring, as well as on mic, action in order to ensure that the fans watch RAW every week. We know that The Humble Advocate can elevate any storyline, and while his client has not been on WWE programming since Survivor Series, he will have a great way to involve the fans in the state of the WWE Championship match with his promo.
So many wrestlers would like to get their hands on the current WWE Champion, but only one will have the privilege of fighting The Box Office Attraction at one of the most rewarding and important shows of the company.
So without further ado, let's get down to listing three possible opponents for Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble:
#3 Dio Maddin
Dio Maddin was the wrestler who stood up against the current WWE Champion when the latter was looking for Rey Mysterio and tried to intimidate Jerry 'The King' Lawler. Maddin was attacked by The Beast Incarnate, and we haven't heard from him ever since. He was replaced by Samoa Joe on the announce table but became a topic of discussion again due to the tweet that he sent a few days ago.
He wants to avenge the attack by the champion, and Royal Rumble could be the first step towards it. He may be on the losing end, but the possibility of him showing up and challenging The Beast Incarnate for the coveted title can't be ruled out.
#2 Erick Rowan
The RAW roster has a lot of wrestlers, but most of them are already involved in their respective storylines, and so it becomes difficult for them to jump ships and start a championship-oriented storyline. Kevin Owens is fighting Seth Rollins, Rusev and Bobby Lashley are involved in a fight and AJ Styles and Randy Orton are entangled in their own feud.
If you look through the current RAW roster, we cannot even put Aleister Black or Buddy Murphy in a match with The Beast Incarnate, and that leaves just one wrestler who is available and has been fighting local talents. Erick Rowan can be a great opponent for The Beast Incarnate because not only would he be a worthy challenger for the champion, it would also give him something worthwhile to fight for this year. He is a good talent and can ensure that even in a losing effort, he can be a valuable addition to the story.
#1 Drew McIntyre
Drew McIntyre has all the skills one needs to be a top-tier star in the company. He is skilled on the mic and can put on great matches between the ropes. While the wrestler didn't see great days during his initial run, his return has been phenomenal as he won the NXT Championship, and has been a part of various storylines since he came back to the company. He hasn't got the opportunity to win the WWE Championship yet, and this could be his first attempt at becoming the WWE Champion.
He deserves the push, and it is a possibility that the company would provide him the same. Drew currently plays a heel, but it wouldn't take long for him to switch characters as the wrestler can turn face with ease, and the WWE Universe would be rooting for him and his win.
If he wins at Royal Rumble, then it would be a great push, or else, we may see him become the champion at WrestleMania 36.
