#1. Heel turn at the Royal Rumble: Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar is set to defend the WWE Title at the Royal Rumble yet again. It seems as though Brock Lesnar either has really important spots in the Rumble match, or he is defending a world title.

In 2018, and 2019, Brock Lesnar defended the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble. In 2020, he was the WWE Champion but still entered the Rumble match to have a dominant performance before being eliminated by eventual-winner Drew McIntyre.

The Rumble has always featured Lesnar in a crucial role, and that will continue as he faces Bobby Lashley in a dream match.

Admittedly, this is one heel turn that we hope doesn't happen. Bobby Lashley can still turn face without Lesnar turning heel, but the latter would undoubtedly cause ripple effects. The only issue it would cause is that the WrestleMania 38 main event would be headlined between two heels - something WWE normally doesn't like.

Reigns and Lesnar are set to headline their third WrestleMania together, and The Beast Incarnate could turn heel in the process. But his babyface character has been far too enjoyable for that to happen.
