— As many have inferred from last night’s Raw, the plan for Royal Rumble will be for Brock Lesnar to defend his Universal title against both Braun Strowman and Kane, according to the latest Wrestling Observer Radio.
— Several ideas were pitched on a potential main event for the PPV, and reportedy it was Vince McMahon’s decision to go with this main event.
— The belief is that Vince didn’t want Strowman losing to Lesnar again and with Brock not having any viable opponents before WrestleMania, the decision was made to include Kane, who presumably will take the loss.
