WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reasons Brock Lesnar Should Win

5. Brock Lesnar is the Best Heel Option

One of the best things Brock Lesnar is able to do in the WWE is act like a heel. He can get the crowd to boo him instantly. Even with the resepect for his in-ring abilities, he also has a lot of controversy around him. First of all, Lesnar knows how to get the crowd to root for the other guy. He was successful in putting over someone like Eddie Guerrero in the memorable match at WWE No Way Out in 2004.

But Lesnar did leave the WWE in 2004 with the hopes of going to the NFL and then enter the world of mixed martial arts. He’s come across as a villain in the mainstream sports world. This earned him quite the big name in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Among many of the heels not holding a championship, Brock Lesnar could be the best choice for a heel main event challenger at WrestleMania 33.

Some might vote for The Miz, but he would likely be involved in an angle with Dean Ambrose and Renee Young. Miz is also someone who is better suited to be in battles for the WWE Intercontinental Championship; a title that needs wrestlers of main event caliber to carry the belt. But fans would be supportive of Miz being in the main event picture on SmackDown Live.

However, the fans would boo Lesnar. If the WWE is wanting to have a villain get a championship main event opportunity, it should go to someone who a large percentage of the fans have resentment towards.
