WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 Key Battles To Look Out For

3. Sheamus Vs. Brock Lesnar

Sheamus and Brock Lesnar worked together at a house show last weekend, in addition to having a bit of a brawl at Raw this past week. In continuing their mini feud, WWE will likely book some exchanges between them at the Rumble. It could even be a foreshadowing of a potential Sheamus versus Lesnar match at 'Mania. While many fans won't like that, it would be a hell of a brawl, and Sheamus is considered a top heel in the company. If Brock isn't winning the Rumble and the WWE Title, this could be the direction they are going in. But even if it is just some exchanges in the Rumble, Sheamus and Lesnar could tell a fun little story in the 30-man match. Hard, intense brawling with The Beast eventually eliminating the Irishman is what makes sense here. It makes Lesnar looks strong and gives them further reason to fight in the future.
