WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 Last Minute Rumours You Need To Know
4. Brock Lesnar Will Win
Brock Lesnar was robbed of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31, and still hasn't had a fair shot at getting it back. He'll be in the Royal Rumble, and given that Lesnar simply doesn't lose matches, he's one of the favorites to win the bout and the WWE Title. While a Lesnar win is possible (and would set up a Lesnar-Reigns clash, a rematch of last year's exciting and controversial WrestleMania main event), it doesn't seem to be the direction in which WWE is heading. Though "The Beast" has been getting face to face with Roman Reigns since his recent return to WWE television, Reigns already has a ready-made WrestleMania feud that's most likely going to encompass the WWE Championship (more on that later). Lesnar is left as the odd man out. Plus, the recent attack on Lesnar by The Wyatt Family not only heralds a feud, but also, in all likelihood, a four-on-one elimination from Rumble match.
