Brock Lesnar had a dominant run in the men's Royal Rumble match of 2020, with the highest number of eliminations in one single Rumble match. This record was in Kane's pocket for 13 years as he managed 11 eliminations in the Royal Rumble match of 2001 before it was broken by Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble 2014, where he eliminated 12 men.
At the men's Royal Rumble match of 2020, Brock Lesnar became the first wrestler ever to enter as the WWE Champion. He entered number one and kept on eliminating everyone who came in his way. He did not stop until eliminating 13 men, which became a record, before he was finally eliminated by Drew McIntyre, who eventually won the Royal Rumble match.
Bubba Ray Dudley remembers the Brock Lesnar vs. Drew McIntyre feud from 2020
It was an excellent moment of passing the torch, and Drew McIntyre went on the challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Championship at WrestleMania 36 and ended up winning the title. Speaking on the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Bubba Ray Dudley explained how Lesnar passed the torch to Drew McIntyre in this feud. He said;
He thinks Brock Lesnar passed the torch to Drew McIntyre in an excellent way
“If you don’t believe me, just go back and watch that Royal Rumble right before Drew McIntyre and leading up to right up until Drew McIntyre eliminates Brock. That entire match is designed by Brock just to make Drew. If other people would have gotten eliminated in that match that were not eliminated by Brock, it would have taken away from Drew McIntyre. And Brock went into that match saying, ‘I’m going to make Drew McIntyre. How do I make him?’

"Brock already knows that in getting eliminated by Drew, it’s going to be a big deal. But how do we make that elimination even a bigger deal? How do we make people jump up on their feet and scream at the top of their lungs? Well, I’m going to decimate every single person who gets into this rumble before Drew comes to the ring.”
But unfortunately, Drew could not enjoy the main event Run that he earned in 2020. He had been a three times World Champion so far, but after dropping his second world title, things never went really smoothly for him. His third World Championship run lasted only 5 minutes, and he has yet to have a proper World title run.
