WWE Royal Rumble: 5 wrestlers who should eliminate Brock Lesnar
Big E
If Kofi Kingston attacks and fails to eliminate Brock Lesnar, imagine the reaction if Big E were to avenge that moment. When Lesnar defeated Kingston in 2019 there was an opportunity for a match between Big E and Lesnar to be built to work into that arc. WWE Creative opted to go in another direction for other reasons. The 2020 edition of the Royal Rumble is an opportunity where the WWE could correct this botch and give us a face off that everyone wants to see.
Again, there is a lot of commentary around who is a believable threat to Lesnar’s run. One look at Big E and its clear that he fits that mold. Not only is he the muscle of The New Day, but he’s a legit powerlifter who broke multiple records. While his in-ring style consists of mostly power moves, he’s shown that he can move around the ring with the best of workers. A match between Big E and Lesnar wouldn’t be just another slow, plodding big man match.

For all of this to work, there needs to be a face off in the Royal Rumble between Lesnar and Big E. Setting up the moment with Lesnar tossing over Kingston and Big E returning the favor to eliminate Lesnar creates an angle that would drive intrigue in the future of the WWE Championship.
Yes, Lesnar is on Monday Night Raw, but that issue could easily be corrected in storyline. Either way, this is an opportunity to build Big E into the main event talent many see him as in the future.
