As I already mentioned, on the episode of Raw after Survivor Series, Goldberg announced that he would be participating in the 2017 Royal Rumble match. The very next week, Paul Heyman announced that Lesnar would be joining the match as well, with an eye toward getting revenge on Goldberg and claiming a title shot.

Since then, though, talk of the Rumble has temporarily stopped. No Smackdown stars have declared themselves as participants in the bout, and no more Raw stars have joined, either. Could we see that change on Sunday?

Probably not - they'll probably save all Royal Rumble announcements for Raw and just focus on Roadblock at Roadblock. There's still a chance, though - maybe Braun Strowman will defeat Sami Zayn and then declare that he's going to be in the match. Maybe The Big Show will be interviewed backstage and do the same. Or maybe one particular angle will build toward the Rumble... but we'll get to that later.
