10 Things That Must Happen At WrestleMania 33

You could argue that Lesnar beating Goldberg only serves to diminish or somehow undo the foundations laid in place by the feud, but as a counterpoint: what happens if Goldberg wins?

If a fifty year old man who hadn’t wrestled for over a decade before last year beats one of the most legitimately tough combat athletes in the world at WrestleMania, it’ll do a lot worse than sour a feud; it’ll render WWE’s entire fiction a joke. Not only that, it’ll establish an environment wherein Goldberg is seen as completely unbeatable, and RAW’s top title becomes the paperweight for somebody who has wrestled a sum total of five minutes since returning to WWE.

Lesnar might be a part-timer, but at least he’s likely to wrestle higher quality matches, and far more often than Goldberg. Neither outcome is ideal, but having a seasoned and believable worker like Lesnar at the top of the company is a damn sight more appealing than someone we’re likely to see twice a month for three minutes a time.
