5 Booking Decisions WWE Would Be Crazy NOT To Make After Royal Rumble 2020

5. Let Them Fight

Viewed in hindsight, the booking of Brock Lesnar in the Rumble was genius. Yes, fear of the ring being turned into a sweat-filled swimming pool meant that Lesnar had to get most people out in three seconds flat. Yes, that diminished the returns of people like MVP and John Morrison. Yes, seeing Kofi denied his revenge was infuriating. But when Drew McIntyre finally toppled The Beast, those he'd trampled on the way became part of that storyline instead.

But Drew wasn't the first to give Brock pause. Keith Lee's entrance had fans on their feet chanting "Oh, bask in his glory", the announcers hyping The Limitless One up, and even Brock selling him as a big deal. And then Lee knocked Lesnar off his feet with a shoulder barge that hit Lesnar like nobody has been allowed to in years.

A double clothesline sent both down, setting Lee up to look an equal force to Vince's most special boy, and fans were seeing a taste of something special when... "BRAUN!" The roar announced the next entrant to the Rumble and we had three absolute monsters in the ring.

Fans only got a couple of minutes to see what these three could do to each other at the Rumble. It was a taster and boy did it taste good. We're all ready for the main course now. These three, last man standing, at Elimination Chamber for a true monster's ball.
