WWE is making sure that we have no idea who's next for Brock Lesnar and the WWE Championship. All we've been hearing are rumblings about a potential Cain Velasquez or Tyson Fury feud.

Naturally, neither of those prospects excites WWE fans as most feel that it would be a waste of having Lesnar around - especially when he's holding the WWE Championship. There hasn't been any rumor about him facing a full-time star and that could still happen given what WWE is doing right now.

They've made it very clear that as of now, there's nobody ready to challenge The Beast. That's why he is competing in the Royal Rumble 2020 match despite being a World Champion. In 2017 and 2018, he had good opponents but this year, there seems to be something lacking.

WWE made sure to not even give us a tease of a potential opponent or confrontation even though they could have. That means that they're keeping everything under wraps and we'll only find out what lies ahead for him in the Royal Rumble main event.

He's back again next week, so let's see what happens.
