5 signs Drew McIntyre is going to eliminate Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble 

#3 Fans aren’t interested in another version of Cain Velasquez and Brock Lesnar

When Cain Velasquez made his debut on the night of SmackDown’s FOX Premiere, the fans were excited. He had a WWE Championship match against Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel late 2019, which he lost in less than 2 minutes.

Since then, Velasquez has lost most of his momentum and is also out of in-ring action. It is currently rumored that once the former UFC Champion returns, WWE will start their build-up for a rubber match between him and Lesnar. Tom Colohue of Sportskeeda had this to say about the situation:

Cain Velasquez is the most certain at this moment to enter the Rumble after Lesnar has thrown out some fan favourites and built up a load of hatred, he is the most likely to throw him out, but I don’t think WWE is going to get the pop they want. The WWE audience are not behind Cain Velasquez, they are just not. There is no interest in seeing that match.

It’s apparent that the fans don’t want to witness Cain vs Brock II and are expecting something else from WWE. Enter Drew McIntyre - he is young, talented, and even has great mic-skills. Plus, he hasn’t even faced Brock Lesnar once in WWE, which is why Vince should book him to eliminate The Beast from the Battle Royal on January 26.
