Brock Lesnar Reportedly Planned To Destroy Everyone Except Former WWE Champion In Royal Rumble Match

The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar won his second Royal Rumble this year. He entered at number 30 and eliminated several stars including Randy Orton, Riddle and Shane McMahon, before eventually eliminating Drew McIntyre to win the Rumble. Lesnar took less than three minutes to toss McIntyre out of the ring.

According to the reports of Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter , the original plan was Brock Lesnar to destroy everyone in the ring when he entered, except former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. McIntyre and Lesnar were supposed to have a solid competition before McIntyre finally got eliminated..

''The original plan for the Rumble was for Lesnar to destroy everyone except give something to McIntyre before beating him. Lesnar was going to do what he wanted but Lesnar put McIntyre over huge in 2020 in both angles and at Mania and did not have an issue with it. They did a face-off basically to call attention to their 2020 program, but had little time because the show had to be off the air at the four-hour mark because of PPV [which still exists] and some international commitments so they were very low on time,'' said Meltzer.
