3.) Randy Orton

Randy Orton performed in a regular grudge match against Brock Lesnar at WWE SummerSlam 2016. Unfortunately, he lost the match due to TKO after getting bloodied up by Lesnar to the point where he was completely incapacitated and could not compete any further.

Considering that he recently turned babyface in his current feud with AJ Styles, there is a strong sign he turned babyface to eventually battle a heel Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble 2020. This time, the stakes would be even higher between Lesnar and Orton since it would be for the WWE Championship.

This potential match at Royal Rumble 2020 would be 10 times better if AJ Styles was included in this match for a triple threat because Styles also had a show stealing match against Lesnar at WWE Survivor Series 2017. After losing the United States Championship, there must have been plans to put him back in the main event picture.

Like Orton, he did not defeat Lesnar in the past. However, he is in a feud with Orton at the moment and it would be sensible to book him into this match to prevent a repeat feud between Orton and Lesnar. There are lots of history amongst these three superstars, and it should be a barn burner.
