10 Potential Superstars That Could Succeed Roman Reigns As WWE Champion

8. Brock Lesnar

Would anyone be shocked if Brock Lesnar entered Royal Rumble and went on to win the whole thing, in turn becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion again? It's a logical choice and one that would probably be received quite well from the Orlando audience, especially considering the outcomes of the last two years' Royal Rumble Matches and how the fans were none too pleased. It does makes sense for Lesnar to be the next champ, but one reason this might not happen is because of the potential for it to feel a bit anti-climactic. If Lesnar is ever to regain the WWE Championship, it would likely take place on a bigger stage with a bigger build-up and hyped more than a potential surprise entry into the Royal Rumble (although odds are he'll be entering himself into the match at some point over the next couple of weeks). Brock Lesnar may become the WWE Champion once again, but the odds of him being the next WWE Champion after Roman Reigns are not as high as some of the other superstars on this list and it's why he only takes the eighth spot.
