5 recent news and rumors about Brock Lesnar: Post-Royal Rumble plans, RAW star sends a warning, and more (January 28th, 2022)

#4 MVP predicts Brock Lesnar will win the Royal Rumble Match

Despite heading into the Royal Rumble as WWE Champion, MVP has predicted that Brock Lesnar will win the Men's Rumble match. This was his way of saying Bobby Lashley will defeat The Beast Incarnate. On Corey Graves' After The Bell podcast, MVP said:

“Brock Lesnar [will win the Royal Rumble], because Bobby Lashley is gonna beat Brock Lesnar. And, in his fury and rage, he’s going to enter the Royal Rumble so that he can get back a chance to face Bobby Lashley for what he believes to be his title back.”

In this scenario, Lesnar can win the Royal Rumble to set up a rematch with Lashley or Roman Reigns, who would be the likelier option heading into WrestleMania. MVP picked Big E, Omos, and AJ Styles as his three favorites if the eight-time WWE world champion doesn't enter the 30-man free-for-all.
