According to the Observer Newsletter, WWE is rumored to be considering the idea having Lesnar be in the Rumble match if he doesn't defend his WWE title at next month's event.

There is no obvious opponent for Lesnar at this point for either the Rumble or Mania. Usually you can tell by this time. Because nobody is obvious for those spot, there were rumors this past week of Cain Velasquez (who is in the Rumble as of right now) and Tyson Fury as Lesnar’s WrestleMania opponents popped up. The only thing we’ve been able to confirm is Lesnar will be on Mania barring injury, and neither Fury nor Velasquez will be the opponent.

Interesting enough, Meltzer also mentioned Rowan could be a potential opponent for Lesnar at the Rumble since apparently Vince is very high on Rowan's current push.
