WWE RAW: 5 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact - heartbreaking news for Superstar's future, major push, Lynch plans (23rd December)

#2 Brock Lesnar to face old rival at Royal Rumble

The Beast Incarnate, current WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, has not been seen in action ever since he won his big fight against Rey Mysterio at Survivor Series. While his feud with Mysterio might be over, it looks like WWE are planning to reignite his feud with Cain Velasquez for Royal Rumble.

With Velasquez holding a UFC win over Lesnar, and The Beast holding a WWE win over Velasquez, it looks as though we would be getting a rubber match between the two at Royal Rumble. So Velasquez making a return to RAW may be a strong possibility.

Here is what SportsKeeda's Tom Colohue stated:

There are rumors as ever of Cain Velasquez, he is rumored to be coming in for a match at the Royal Rumble, possibly against Brock Lesnar. Brock needs to wrestle someone, there isn’t a storyline so far. We will have to see how that plays out, that will probably start to be built after the Christmas season in the New Year show.

Brock Lesnar will have to appear at least, to start a feud, and will undoubtedly appear on the go-home show as well. So whoever he will be feuding with, whether it be someone like Kevin Owens or Randy Orton or Cain Velasquez, we will see as that time comes. If Cain Velasquez does have a match with Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble, he will be a brief one, it won’t last too long and it won’t be leading into a feud.
