4. Brock Lesnar
Could we get the rematch of Lesnar vs. McIntyre exactly a year later? If ‘The Beast’ wins the Royal Rumble match this could be a reality.
Brock Lesnar hasn’t been seen since last year’s WrestleMania, which is roughly when his contract expired. Since then, McIntyre has elevated the WWE Championship having it appear impressively on each show
Additionally, Lesnar’s advocate, Paul Heyman, has started working alongside Roman Reigns in one of WWE’s most dynamic pairings for some time. Surely, Lesnar coming to blows with the ‘Tribal Chief’ in a story about who Heyman will side with would be increasingly engaging.
With Lesnar being more absent than usual lately, it has fans curious if he will be making his huge return twisting the 30-man battle royale into Suplex City.
Furthermore, he is a huge draw for the ‘Grandest Stage of Them All’. Not missing a single WrestleMania since 2013, it would be mind-blowing if Lesnar is nowhere near the show’s top storylines.
3. Keith Lee
What can you say apart from Keith Lee winning the 2021 Royal Rumble would be… limitless.
Keith Lee had quite the 2020 compared to other NXT call-ups.
Yes, he had an awful theme song at the start. Yes, he was forced to wear a top to cover his non-typical-WWE body. Oh dammit, yes, he barely gets sweet victories. However, Lee has never shied away from the main event scene of Raw.
He made his ultimate debut by squeezing himself in the middle of the never-ending McIntyre vs Orton title feud. Even garnishing an impactful victory over ‘The Viper’ at WWE Payback.
More recently, he faced McIntyre for the WWE Championship on the first Raw of the new year, in a losing effort. This match merely teased what could’ve been if they had a pay-per-view calibre match.
Keith Lee could certainly be the Drew McIntyre of this year. The fans are behind him but he is stuck in limbo, just like the current WWE Champion at this time last year.
If Lee wins the Rumble, he’d get a huge match at WrestleMania that many fans believe he deserves.
