WWE RAW: 5 big backstage rumors that could have a major impact - Veteran banned from wrestling, Reason for Mysterio losing Championship (30th December)

#2 Brock Lesnar to face Kevin Owens at Royal Rumble?

There has been a lot of speculation as to who Brock Lesnar will face at Royal Rumble for the WWE Championship. While earlier speculation pointed to Cain Velasquez, it is now being stated that either Kevin Owens or Randy Orton may be facing Lesnar at Royal Rumble.

Here is what Cagesideseats stated:

If WWE doesn’t go with Cain Velasquez as Brock Lesnar’s Royal Rumble opponent, it will likely be either Kevin Owens or Randy Orton.

While both these Superstars could pose a serious threat to Lesnar, the chances of him facing The Prizefighter seem slightly higher as of now because of reports of Randy Orton suffering an injury at a recent house show.

Word coming out of the WWE house show in Hershey last night is Randy Orton suffered some sort of injury to his knee.

It has been rumored that Brock Lesnar is all set to make his return in early 2020 and we could see the build for this new feud start on Monday Night RAW this week.
