10 Favourites To Win WWE Royal Rumble 2020

7. Cain Velasquez

The only reason Cain Velasquez isn't higher on this list is due to Lesnar's involvement in the Rumble match itself. Prior to this week's announcement regarding Brock entering at #1, the chances of Cain winning were far greater. However, with the possibility of whoever eliminates 'The Beast Incarnate' getting a shot at the WWE Championship in April, there is another way to set-up their rematch without having Velasquez leave Texas as a Rumble winner.

Nevertheless, WWE seem set on having a legitimate fighter at WrestleMania, and with Tyson Fury's involvement dependent on the result of his bout with Deontay Wilder in February, how better to re-establish the former two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion than being the last man standing on 26 January?

Lesnar and Velasquez have a storied history, what with Lesnar losing his UFC title to the American ten years ago. They seem destined for a rubber match which simultaneously rights the wrongs of their Crown Jewel contest, and Cain punching his ticket to Mania at the end of this month would intensify this epic rivalry.
