10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Jan 16)
3. Braun Strowman Interrupts Brock Lesnar
Following on from Bill Goldberg's interactions with the likes of Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns, and Braun Strowman a few weeks ago, it'd be smart to have Brock Lesnar hype up the Royal Rumble in a similar fashion. After all, Lesnar will play a huge part in the 30-man match.
Accompanied by Paul Heyman, Brock smirks as he makes his way to the ring. Heyman says this is because his client has his confidence back, he's now almost fully over Survivor Series, and intends to vindicate himself by eliminating Goldberg from the Rumble and going on to main event WrestleMania 33.
Suddenly, Strowman's music hits and the big man marches towards the ring. That's when Lesnar's grin fades as he realises the threat Braun poses in the Royal Rumble and was only focused on Goldberg. Worried, Heyman shakes his head in disbelief over what may be about to happen.
Going nose-to-nose, Braun and Brock don't come to blows. Succinctly, Strowman says over the microphone that he plans on eliminating both Lesnar and Goldberg from the Rumble before leaving the ring.
