Here are my top 5 candidates who I think could win the 2020 Men’s Royal Rumble match.
5) Keith Lee
My wildcard for the 2020 Men’s Royal Rumble match is Keith Lee. This comes after his incredible performance during Survivor Series weekend. Lee ended up making it to the very end of the men’s elimination match, eliminating Seth Rollins but losing to Roman Reigns.
Vince McMahon doesn’t usually put people in spots like that for no reason. It was a star-making performance and I think that Lee is someone to watch out for on the WWE main roster over the next several months.
It would be cool to see an NXT star win the Royal Rumble for the first time ever. That would help further put over NXT as WWE’s third brand. Also, it would be amazing to see Brock Lesnar vs Keith Lee at Wrestlemania 36 for the WWE Championship. There are not many guys who can match Brock in power and Lee is someone who might be able to do that.
Lee is someone to keep your eyes on heading into this match. I wouldn’t count him out.
4) Ricochet
I think that another longshot to win the Royal Rumble match in 2020 is Ricochet. With Seth Rollins turning heel, Monday Night RAW needs a new top babyface. I think that Ricochet could potentially fill that role if he is built up properly as an underdog. There are rumors that Paul Heyman is extremely high on Ricochet, so maybe this could happen?
Ricochet vs Brock Lesnar would be an interesting option for the WWE Title match at Wrestlemania 36. Brock works better with smaller guys, so I would be intrigued to see what kind of match that he could put on with Ricochet. I can already picture Ricochet landing on his feet after a German suplex attempt by Brock.
Ricochet is a longshot but I don’t think that we can write him off. If he doesn’t win, I could see Ricochet picking up the surprise elimination on Brock during the match to set up their feud. WWE planted the seeds on RAW this week for this to happen when Ricochet was attacked by Brock.
