10 Last-Minute WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Rumors You Need To Know

While Goldberg was the first man to announce his entry in the Royal Rumble, a week later, Brock Lesnar became the second. "The Beast" was coming off an embarrassing 86-second loss to Goldberg at the Survivor Series, and swore revenge on his foe in the Rumble.

Since then, of course, a ton of top stars have joined the bout. More than any other year in recent history, it's hard to predict who'll win. However, given the fact that Lesnar needs to be rebuilt and that his WrestleMania match with Goldberg is rumored to be headlining the show, "The Beast" seems to have the best chance of walking away from the Rumble with the guaranteed title shot in hand.

The story can play out from there: Goldberg is confirmed as wrestling at the Fastlane Pay-Per-View on February 22, and what would be the point of featuring "Da Man" in a simple exhibition match when he's already squashed Lesnar? At Fastlane, Goldberg will beat Kevin Owens for the Universal Title, setting him up to defend against Brock in the main event of WrestleMania 33.
