On February 19, Brock Lesnar will have the opportunity to win back the WWE Championship that he lost at the Royal Rumble event on January 29. However, he will have to go through five other WWE Superstars first.
At the Royal Rumble in St. Louis, Missouri, Lesnar walked in as the WWE Champion to square off against Bobby Lashley in their first-ever one-on-one match. It was a dream match for the ages and one the fans had been waiting forever since Lashley debuted for the company in 2005.
The explosive match ended in controversial fashion after the referee was knocked down. Universal Champion Roman Reigns made his presence felt by taking the WWE Title being held by Paul Heyman to smash it against the skull of The Beast Incarnate.

Brock and Roman had been feuding, with Paul Heyman defecting from The Bloodline, but now ultimately realigning with his Tribal Chief. Heyman believes he was protecting Roman Reigns from Brock Lesnar.
However, after losing to Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar entered the Men's Royal Rumble match and won the whole thing in just over two minutes. The win meant he could choose any World Champion to face at WrestleMania 38 in April. Two nights later, Brock chose Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Nevertheless, he still had eyes on the WWE Championship.
Lesnar pleaded with authority figure Adam Pearce to give him a rematch against Bobby Lashley. Instead, it was announced that an Elimination Chamber match would be held on February 19 in Jeddah, with the title on the line. Brock Lesnar was named as an entrant into the match.
After a number of qualifying matches, it was determined that AJ Styles, Riddle and Austin Theory would also enter. Seth "Freakin" Rollins declared that he had an automatic spot in the match following his No DQ victory over Roman Reigns at the Royal Rumble. The stage is now set for the first-ever Men's Elimination Chamber match to take place outside of North America.
That being said, let's take a look at five things that could happen if Brock Lesnar wins at WWE Elimination Chamber.
#5 WWE Officials could make life difficult for Brock Lesnar on the road to WrestleMania
The key element of winning a Royal Rumble match is the fact that the winner receives a World Championship opportunity at WrestleMania. But what if Brock Lesnar is already a World Champion leading into the event, is his opportunity still valid this time around?
We've seen Brock and WWE Official Adam Pearce come to blows in the past. Still, vexed from what happened in the past, Pearce could decide to make life difficult for The Beast Incarnate in this scenario and void his WrestleMania chosen match against Roman Reigns because he is now WWE Champion.
This, of course, would enrage Lesnar, who wants to get his hands on Roman Reigns so badly at the biggest event of the year. It could make for a unique scenario unlike anything we've seen before.
It would certainly make the days leading up to WrestleMania a little more intriguing, not knowing which direction the story was going in. It could be a case where Brock will have to earn his chance against Roman again, or even go as far as Lesnar being restricted from facing Roman altogether. A WWE Championship defense against a new challenger might be the way forward.
Either way, this scenario could present plenty of twists and turns, which is exactly what we want to see in the approach to the show of shows.
#4 Brock Lesnar could cost Roman Reigns in his Universal Championship match against Goldberg
At the 2022 Royal Rumble event, Brock Lesnar defended his newly-won WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley.
However, the referee was knocked down during the match, which brought out Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Reigns was handed Lesnar's WWE Title by Paul Heyman, who proceeded to smash the title against the skull of The Beast. The move ultimately cost Brock the match and his Championship.
Of course, later in the night, Lesnar won the Men's Royal Rumble match, but the wounds will still be raw from what took place during his match with Lashley. After winning the Elimination Chamber match, Lesnar could interfere in the Reigns-Goldberg Universal Championship match and do exactly what The Tribal Chief did to him on January 29.
Ultimately, it would see Reigns' record-breaking title reign end, but no doubt pencil in Roman vs. Brock, now for the WWE Championship, in a blockbuster fight at WrestleMania.
#3 Brock Lesnar could be forced to defend the WWE Championship before WrestleMania
As it stands, WWE currently has no premium live events penciled in between Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania. Usually, Fastlane would take place, but at present, this event is not scheduled to take place.
If Brock is to capture the WWE Championship in the Elimination Chamber, rightly, he won't defend the title until WrestleMania. However, Brock may be forced to defend the title at RAW to avoid a likely Champion vs. Champion clash at the show of shows.
The potential storyline could see WWE "upper-management" wanting to remove the title from Brock, so they have two main events World Championship matches occurring rather than just one. It makes sense, as WrestleMania occurs over two nights once again this year.
There could be all sorts of shenanigans taking place that see Brock defend his gold every week right up until April. In the end, he could force WWE's hand by proving that he deserves to walk into WrestleMania as the WWE Champion and claim his match with Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
#2 Brock Lesnar could challenge Bobby Lashley to a Royal Rumble rematch
After what happened during the WWE Championship contest at the Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar will undoubtedly want to have another crack at Bobby Lashley. The WWE Universe will want to see the clash one more time to get a decisive, fair winner.
Let's say Brock wins the Elimination Chamber match on February 19, but doesn't pin Lashley to win the match overall, then surely a rematch will be on the cards? Being as confident as he is right now, Lesnar might already be one step ahead and challenge Lashley on the next episode of RAW or accept the All Mighty's expected challenge.
This is a contest that would have to take place on RAW. However, to fill up a two-night's worth of WrestleMania, Lesnar could defend the title on night one against Lashley before facing Roman Reigns on night two.
Either way, another Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley encounter needs to happen again soon.
#1 Brock Lesnar could face Roman Reigns in a Champion vs. Champion match at WrestleMania
The match that is rumored to headline WrestleMania 38 may be the outcome if Brock Lesnar wins the Elimination Chamber match on February 19. Champion vs. Champion. Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar once again on the biggest stage.
It seems like a fitting end to their collosus long-term feud that could all come to an end in Dallas. With the two most prestigious Championships on the line, plus the element of Paul Heyman in the thick of things, having past and current associations with each goliath involved, it's storytelling at its very best.
It would certainly turn the heat on the WrestleMania headline match up a notch, having the winner take all bout. It would now be a predictable outcome for fans watching around the world if Brock was to win on Saturday, however, their war needs a fitting ending and one final chapter.
