KEY POINTS

  • Brock Lesnar will fight at Royal Rumble and WrestleMania in 2020
  • WWE has canceled Lesnar's two huge fights
  • The company is yet to decide Lesnar's opponent for Rumble and WrestleMania

Brock Lesnar reportedly will not fight against Cain Velasquez and Tyson Fury at the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Royal Rumble or WrestleMania in 2020.

While there have been rumors about these two fights for a while, Dave Meltzer confirmed about it in his latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, where he assured the WWE Universe that Brock Lesnar is surely making an appearance at the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania unless the reigning WWE champion suffers an untimely injury.

The WWE Company has not given Meltzer any specific information in regards to Brock Lesnar defending his WWE title and that means that the upcoming Royal Rumble match could see combat for the ultimate title.

As of now, Brock Lesnar does not have confirmed opponents for the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania Pay-Per-Views events.

Since Brock Lesnar is one of WWE’s most marketable superstars, Paul Heyman and Co will certainly bring out something huge for him.

From the current RAW roster, the wrestlers who are being pushed to fight Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble are Drew McIntyre, Erick Rowan, Seth Rollins and Aleister Black. WWE reportedly is seeing Brock Lesnar's Royal Rumble match as a lead-up fight before his WrestleMania showdown and which is why the company is not seeking for a "super challenger" for the WWE champion at the Royal Rumble.

Meltzer also mentioned that the retired wrestler Edge, who is looking to make his comeback, has been dismissed as a potential opponent for Lesnar. It is understood that the coming weeks will surely give a proper picture of WWE company’s plans for one of its star wrestlers.
