Keith Lee has had quite the breakout year becoming the first man in WWE history to hold
both the NXT Championship and the NXT North American Championship at the same time and
he defeated Randy Orton in his first pay-per-view match since joining the main roster. Also,
how can we forget about his confrontation with Brock Lesnar at the 2020 Royal Rumble.
What makes Lee such a formidable competitor aside from the raw power he possesses is that
he’s gifted with mind-blowing speed and agility, especially for a man of his size.
The opportunities are “limitless” for the Limitless One and a win in the 2021 Royal
Rumble would be the perfect way to establish Lee as a main event star. We will all be “basking
in his glory” when he does.
Nine long years after hanging up his boots, Edge returned at the 2020 Royal Rumble and
what an unforgettable moment it was. The overwhelming emotion on his face showed just how much he
missed it all.
Shortly after his return, Edge became embroiled in a personal feud with Randy Orton that stretched
beyond WrestleMania 36. But during their last encounter, Edge suffered a torn triceps injury
which left him side-lined for months.
Edge is no stranger to success in the Royal Rumble as he won it over a decade ago in 2010
and in last year’s Royal Rumble he managed to last until the final three before being
eliminated by Roman Reigns. Can he do one better this year and go on to win it for the
second time in his career?
At the 2020 WWE Draft, we sadly saw Big E get split from his New Day brethren. As heart-breaking
as it was, the plus-side is that it will give Big E the opportunity to once again shine
as a singles star.
As a singles competitor, Big E found good success with his “five” gimmick
and became the second-ever NXT Champion by defeating Seth Rollins. But that wasn’t
his only singles championship as Big E went on to hold the Intercontinental Championship
twice.
The man exudes charisma and has all the makings of a world champion,
so a win at the 2021 Royal Rumble could be just what he needs to propel him into the
world title picture.
It’s entrant number 30 and you hear this music play…
In a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, The Rock expressed interest in facing his
cousin, Roman Reigns at The Grandest Stage of Them All.
As The Rock alluded, the match makes sense as not only would it be a box office draw
but it would also be a battle to find out who truly belongs at the Head of the Table
in the Anoa’i family.
It’s been over two decades since The Rock last won a Royal Rumble match, so a win in
this year’s one could plant the seed for an epic dream match between The Tribal Chief
and The Great One.
At the 2020 Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar was ballin’. He eliminated 13 other competitors
(a tied record with Braun Strowman for the most eliminations in a single Royal Rumble)
before being eliminated himself by the eventual winner, Drew McIntyre.
Lesnar went on to defend his WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36 against McIntyre, though
unsuccessfully after eating up not one, not two, not three but four claymore kicks.
Lesnar hasn’t appeared on the WWE since so the 2021 Royal Rumble would be a great
way to see The Beast Incarnate return. After all, he has some unfinished business with
both the WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre and the Universal Champion, Roman Reigns. Interestingly,
Paul Heyman switched allegiances from being Lesnar’s advocate to Reigns’ special counsel,
which Lesnar probably won’t take too kindly to.
Will we see Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble this Sunday? Brock seems to think so…
