5 reasons why WWE put Cain Velasquez in 2020 Royal Rumble

#4 Dream encounters

There are a lot of dream encounters possible in this year's Royal Rumble

It's almost WrestleMania season and while that means WWE is shifting towards some of their better programming, it also means that there is a lot of chances for dream encounters as well. In fact, with Brock Lesnar, Cain Velasquez, Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre and several others in the Royal Rumble, there is a lot of interesting possibilities.

Think about it! Whoever tries to take on Velasquez in the Royal Rumble is going to draw a lot of attention to themselves. Furthermore, the WWE Universe is going to keep a keen eye on how the former UFC fighter interacts with these Superstars and how easily he is able to end their night.

For example, let's say Roman Reigns gets a chance to go at Velasquez and nearly eliminates him. That's going to say a lot about Reigns' standing with the company and what exactly they have planned for him. It will also open the door to a myriad of dream encounters throughout the match that could end up stealing the show.
