Lesnar was reported to be returning to WWE at the Royal Rumble to kickstart his journey to WrestleMania. However, some controversial allegations made WWE scrap all plans for him.
Instead, Bron Breakker reportedly came out to steal the spotlight at the Rumble. He took out Omos and Judgment Day's Finn Balor from the contest.
Breakker was ultimately eliminated from the match by Dominik Mysterio. He vented his frustration by hitting JD McDonagh with a Spear on his way out of the arena to make a statement.
