WWE Royal Rumble 2023: Predicting All 15 Wrestlers Not Yet Announced

3. Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar's ongoing storyline with Bobby Lashley is good, not great.

It should work, but isn't quite working to that big-time level. These two ridiculously-proportioned behemoths clashing into one another should be more exciting than it is, and the brawls are killer, but the Paul Heyman specials are redundant when they actually get in the ring.

If this is the WrestleMania direction, and it's looking that way, it feels a bit uninspiring. Brock entering at #30 and wrecking Lashley would build towards the rubber match.

If the Hurt Business reform in and around this, with Omos, watching Lesnar German him would be something, at least.
