WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Predictions: Who Will Steal the Show?

Which WWE Superstars will dominate at this year’s Royal Rumble event?

#2 Brock Lesnar and Goldberg

Perhaps this encounter will last a few more minutes than last time

I’ve grouped these two together as I feel WWE has them bound to one another in their creative ideas for the match.

You’d be foolish to assume Lesnar and Goldberg wouldn’t be booked as two of the biggest stars of this event as their history simply demands it. Plus, WWE quite literally started the promotion for this year’s event with the two of them being the only names announced for the match.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Lesnar is perhaps the most credible Superstar in WWE after spending the past few years wrecking everybody in his path. It’s almost boring at this point because as a fan, there’s no unpredictability to it unless WWE is secretly hiding some kind of off-the-wall crazy plan like Survivor Series.

When everybody assumed Goldberg was going to wrestle that one match and that match only, it was a surprise to see Lesnar not only lose but lose quickly. Since that happened, WWE will assuredly go out of its way to put Lesnar in a much more favourable light this time around.

That is where Goldberg comes into play, as these two will definitely clash.

My money is on both of them getting a few eliminations before Goldberg once again takes Lesnar out of the equation. Then, Lesnar either re-enters the ring and causes Goldberg to be eliminated or he bottles up his rage and applies it to an interference at Fastlane.

Both of them will be among the final candidates to win the match, but I don’t think they’ll come out on top. That won’t stop WWE from showing footage of what they do 20 times over the next few weeks of Raw, though.

Far too much is invested in another Goldberg vs. Lesnar match to see either of the two belittled or diminished in any sort of way, even if it means that some of the regular roster members have to suffer to compensate for it.
