Four-time WWE Champion Brock Lesnar has been confirmed as an entrant in the 2016 Royal Rumble match on January 24th. His participation has been made official following this week's Raw, in which Heyman suggested that the winner of the Rumble face Brock for the title at WrestleMania 32. Vince was reluctant to follow through with such an idea, and instead booked Lesnar to be in the match itself. Marc Middleton of LordsOfPain.net has also published a prospective list of contestants for the rumble, including all current champions, the entire Wyatt Family, and notable upper-midcard names such as Kevin Owens, Alberto Del Rio, Sheamus, and the recent returnee Chris Jericho. The list in full; WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns defending WWE United States Champion Kalisto WWE Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston WWE Tag Team Champion Big E Xavier Woods Brock Lesnar Chris Jericho Bray Wyatt Erick Rowan Luke Harper Braun Strowman Big Show Stardust Goldust Kevin Owens Jimmy Uso Jey Uso Titus O'Neil Ryback Alberto Del Rio Sheamus Dolph Ziggler Mark Henry D-Von Dudley Bubba Ray Dudley Adam Rose Heath Slater Bo Dallas Curtis Axel It's worth noting that the 30 names on this list aren't set in stone. Middleton adds: 'the Rumble line-up is always subject to change but it looks like these Superstars will be in the match, give or take a few of the midcard talents if they have surprises planned'. Lesnar's involvement could give a clue as to WWE's plans for WrestleMania 32. Should he win the match (and therefore the WWE Championship), it would make sense for him to defend the title against former champion Reigns at WrestleMania. Of course - this being the Rumble - there is a huge variety of alternative possibilities.
