At the Royal Rumble event, Brock Lesnar will be defending his WWE Universal Championship. As one of the big four pay-per-views, the Royal Rumble needs a Universal Title match that will go above and beyond expectations. Therefore, Brock Lesnar will need an accomplished dance partner that can deliver when the lights are shining the brightest. As of now, there’s only one man worthy of facing the Beast in Philly and that’s the big red monster, Kane.

The Devil’s favourite Demon has been on somewhat of a renaissance since returning to the WWE. He’s belittled Braun Strowman, cleanly disposed of Finn Balor and made us remember why he’s an all-time great. An all-time great that deserves a title opportunity in January.

Here’s why Kane should face Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble.

The Rumble match for many is the most exciting match the WWE has to offer all year. Every January, fans eagerly speculate which superstars will enter the match and anticipate which legends will make their epic returns. However, anticipation doesn’t sell the match alone, it’s branded as important because of the opportunity it provides.

A chance at competing for a world title at Wrestlemania should be every superstar’s dream. That’s why it’s imperative all the main event stars excluding champions are in this match. There’s no point in having the likes of Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman competing for titles at the Royal Rumble, they need to be in the Rumble match itself, ensuring it has the relevant importance.

Kane competing for the title at the Rumble allows all the legitimate main eventers on RAW to enter the Rumble and make it a star-studded affair.
