Heyman did not say that Brock is defending the WWE Championship in the Royal Rumble but just that he is entering the match and will be the first entrant. The lineup for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view includes the men’s and women’s Rumble matches and Roman Reigns and Charlotte Flair are official for their respective Rumbles. Bray Wyatt versus Daniel Bryan for the Universal Championship is scheduled for the pay-per-view along with Becky Lynch defending her RAW Women’s Championship against Asuka.
