If Brock Lesnar does return to WWE in the Royal Rumble, chances are that he will go on to win the whole thing. Yes, everyone expects him to challenge Drew McIntyre, the man who eliminated him from the Royal Rumble last year, but the fact of the matter is that he could go on to challenge Roman Reigns instead.

Roman Reigns has effectively stolen The Beast's advocate from him, and Brock Lesnar could say that he's coming for the WWE Universal Championship in an act of revenge. The friendship between Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman has been well documented, and WWE could use this as a device to book a feud between both of Heyman's clients.

Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar have faced each other in the past, but Brock Lesnar has never come face-to-face with the Tribal Chief. This is a meaner and more dangerous Roman Reigns than ever before, and even Lesnar has his hands full.
