WWE Royal Rumble 2020: Top 5 performers from the event

#3 Brock Lesnar

One of the greatest looks on the face of the Beast

This one comes with a heavy heart because I've been a huge critic of Lesnar and his antics over the past few years. I wasn't enjoying the first half of the Rumble because of the potential of it lasting for the entire match. But luckily, his hubris and bravado were used with an end game in mind and it actually helped out the eventual winner, Drew McIntyre.

Lesnar's initial reason for entering the match at #1 was due to the lack of competition. While there are several men who should be able to go toe to toe with the Beast, there is a chunk of the roster that isn't. It was a little disheartening to see the likes of Big E, Kofi Kingston, John Morrison, Strowman and Lee all get eliminated by Lesnar, but it was all to build until his actual elimination.

By tossing beloved names like Big E, Kingston, Rey Mysterio, Lee and Strowman over the top rope, the hatred for Lesnar possibly winning built after each elimination. The Beast played his hated heel role perfectly and eliminated 10 people in a row. His 13 overall tosses tied Strowman's record of eliminations in a single Royal Rumble match. He may show up when he wants to, but when he does, he usually does something worth talking about. That certainly happened at the latest Rumble PPV.
