#1. Seth Rollins could face Brock Lesnar in another high-profile match after WWE Royal Rumble

Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins are no strangers to each other in WWE. Rollins has been a top performer in WWE for several years now. He has already faced Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship on a few occasions.

Rollins is no stranger to big matches. He won the 2019 Royal Rumble and chose to face Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. He could end up doing something similar at the 2022 Royal Rumble.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, The Visionary was supposed to win the WWE Championship at Day 1 before Brock Lesnar was injected into the contest.

The original plan to build for WrestleMania, whatever it was, changed greatly when Lesnar pinned Big E to win the WWE title to end Saturday’s show," said Meltzer. "The original scripted plan for the show was for Big E to lose the championship, but to Seth Rollins, who had tested positive for COVID-19 last week, and the champion instead lost his title to Lesnar as the result of another positive test." Meltzer said.

While Seth Rollins’ world title win was ruined by The Beast Incarnate, he could look to win the Royal Rumble match and exact revenge from Lesnar once again. A rematch between the two men for the top title would be great for WrestleMania 38.
