Will the Dead Man dominate The Royal Rumble?

#4 Brock Lesnar

If Goldberg has been confirmed, the Beast must confront him once more

Last week on Raw, Bill Goldberg announced that he was the first entrant in the 2017 Royal Rumble.

This was the night after he squashed WWE’s most dominant superstar- Brock Lesnar in 1 minute and 26 seconds at Survivor Series 2016. We know that The Beast won’t take this lying down. Lesnar can be a big ticket player at the Alamodome which the WWE would desperately require, considering that 60000 tickets need to be sold.

The Goldberg- Lesnar contest is the most talked-about feud in WWE at the moment, and a continuation of this rivalry is a must. Not only do we think that Brock Lesnar needs to be a part of the Royal Rumble; we believe that it’s almost a certainty that he will.
