Royal Rumble buildups got a huge boost with the inclusion of Brock Lesnar into the mix. The WWE Champion returned with his advocate Paul Heyman who decided to drop a bombshell on Monday Night Raw declaring that his client will enter the Rumble match, itself.
Without relevant opponents available on either Raw, SmackDown or NXT, the champion thought of conquering 28 other opponents, instead.

WWE was looking to draw big hype for the Royal Rumble PPV and this announcement was the perfect way to do so. Slice Wrestling gave some updates on the backstage plans about the number one entrant at Royal Rumble.
It hinted that WWE officials chose to insert Brock Lesnar into Royal Rumble since they did not have a ‘clear cut opponent determined to face Brock’, indeed.
So it will buy more time to find an opponent for the Beast Incarnate at WrestleMania 36. Also, he can shoot an angle in the Royal Rumble match itself to set up a future program en route to the biggest event of them all,
“The idea to include Brock Lesnar in the 2020 Royal Rumble match was brainstormed by Paul Heyman & Vince McMahon. WWE does have an idea of who they will pick but the final decision has yet to be made.”

Meanwhile, Vince McMahon is yet to decide whether he’d force Brock Lesnar to put the WWE title on the line or not,
“The WWE Championship has not been in discussions to be included in the Royal Rumble match and only Vince McMahon would change that stipulation if he thinks it would work, but at the current time of this publishing no action has been taken.
The plan right now is for Brock Lesnar to run through 28 other superstars in dominant fashion leaving the 30th entrant a surprise.”
With that being said, Royal Rumble is extremely open for all the participants, this year where several options are available to pick from as the winner. But he should be destined to face Brock Lesnar by all means.
