WWE Royal Rumble 2015: 10 Biggest Rumours

10. Brock Lesnar Retains The WWE Championship

This one is more speculation than anything, based on what fans perceive to be the company's plans for WrestleMania 31.

Brock Lesnar is the dragon that cannot be slayed. Thus, most believe that the current WWE World Heavyweight champion will retain his title and head to the Showcase of the Immortals, site of his shocking victory over The Undertaker nearly a year ago. To do so, he will have to defeat John Cena and Seth Rollins in a Triple Threat, then thwart any attempt by Rollins to cash in his Money in the Bank contract.

It makes sense, from a booking standpoint, that the unconquerable competitor advance to the biggest show of the year to face a top contender that would then knock him off and end his title reign, just as he did to the legendary streak of the Phenom at WrestleMania XXX.

A potential return to UFC lingers like a black cloud over Lesnar and WWE, leaving some to question how smart it would be to have Lesnar enter WrestleMania having defeated Cena and Rollins, two full-time stars, for a main event title defense when he is going to jump ship immediately after. A spot further down the card would better fit him if the rumors of his return to the octagon are true.
