If there’s one thing WWE fans do not actually enjoy, then it’s the company making predictable bookings. This is what happened when Brock Lesnar entered the Royal Rumble 2022 men’s match and secured the victory.
The WWE Megastar entered the match at number 30 and joined a small list of superstars to win the Rumble more than once. He eliminated the likes of Bad Bunny, Matt Riddle, Randy Orton, Shane McMahon, and Drew McIntyre in his less than three-minute spell in the ring.

Now, he’s heading to WrestleMania 38 as a challenger for one of the champions, Universal Champion Roman Reigns or WWE Champion Bobby Lashley.
The fans are not happy after Brock Lesnar secured the victory
While he’s a megastar and WWE is probably pushing him for ratings, it might majorly backfire.
The fans did not want to see Brock Lesnar win the Royal Rumble. In fact, fans believe even without entering the Royal Rumble, Lesnar could have been a part of WrestleMania 38.
Super lazy booking. Wow. They couldn't have just had Brock show up on smackdown and have someone else win the rumble that can face Bobby?

Almost all the reactions have been filled with anger and frustration over WWE’s supposed lazy writing and poor booking.
just smashed my 62 inch TV in rage. This game was an absolute embarrassment. My two children are in tears, scared of my rage as I’m pacing around the room trembling as I type this message. Pick up the pace or I will switch my rooting over to a good company like AEW.

Wwe has lost all hope and gave up on wrestling long ago. They have chosen both retired UFC combatants to win the rumbles because they simply consider UFC fighters to be more serious contenders than any wrestler in their company ever. They should sell off their company now.

This was the most predictable and boring Rumble. Two part-timers won opportunities for titles. Whatever happened about uplifting new talent?

The WWE Universe predicted the outcome after Bobby Lashley’s victory
Prior to the Royal Rumble Men’s match, Lesnar and Lashley faced each other with the WWE Championship on the line. However, the match didn’t quite go Lesnar’s way.
Paul Heyman betrayed Lesnar and teamed up with Roman Reigns. How?
Well, Reigns speared a distracted Lesnar before Heyman handed him the WWE Championship. He smashed the belt on Lesnar’s face, left the motionless beast on the floor, and walked away with Heyman.
Lashley capitalized on that and pinned Lesnar for the victory.
As soon as Reigns’ interference cost Lesnar the title, many fans predicted WWE would have The Beast enter the Royal Rumble and win it. However, they kept hoping it wasn’t the case!
