The Royal Rumble is usually made up of 30 Superstars who all have the same goal of winning the match to earn an opportunity at a World Championship in one of the featured matches at WrestleMania.

However, Lesnar is already the WWE Champion, which means he will become the second person in WWE history – following Roman Reigns in 2016 – to enter the match as the holder of a World Championship.

Graves clarified that seeing more of Lesnar on WWE television is never a bad thing, but he does not think the company should have used the word “unprecedented” so much during Monday’s announcement, given that Reigns was in a similar position just four years ago.

Unlike Reigns’ WWE Championship match in the 2016 Royal Rumble, which Triple H went on to win, Lesnar’s title will not be on the line in the 2020 Royal Rumble.
