#6 The Beast Incarnate preparing to unleash himself

Brock Lesnar backstage at the Rumble

Brock Lesnar's Royal Rumble was a roller-coaster ride. First he defended his WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley in a dream match, dropping the title to the All Mighty after interference from Roman Reigns. Lesnar had the last laugh, however, as he entered the Men's Rumble match as a surprise entrant at #30 and quickly destroyed the field to gain the victory.

In the picture above, The Beast Incarnate can be seen getting ready for his match at the event. Lesnar announced on RAW this week that he'll be challenging Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38. He is also set to compete for the WWE Championship in an Elimination Chamber match later this month.

#5 Riddle having some fun

The Original Bro had a decent night at the Rumble

Speaking of the Elimination Chamber, another star set to compete for the WWE Championship in the infamous match is Riddle. The Original Bro has been one half of a popular tag team with Randy Orton on RAW over the past year. However, the two have now lost their tag titles and could be on their way to breaking up.

In the above picture, Riddle can be seen riding his scooter at the arena ahead of the Royal Rumble. Riddle had a decent outing in the Men's Rumble match, surviving until the final four before getting eliminated by eventual winner Brock Lesnar.
