10 WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Predictions

Brock Lesnar Goldberg WM 20

Finally, the match will come down to the two men who headlined Survivor Series - Brock Lesnar and Bill Goldberg. Once again, Goldberg will get the better of his foe, with a spear and a Jackhammer turning Lesnar into dead weight and allowing Goldberg to fling him over the top rope.

The huge win for the former World Heavyweight Champion will be a sensible way to follow up on his Survivor Series victory, and it'll set the stage for the next couple of months on Raw. It's already been revealed that Goldberg will be competing in a match at Fastlane, and what would be the point of having him squash someone else when nothing's on the line? This way, he can bump his title shot up a month, then defeat Kevin Owens to win the Universal Title on 5 March.

After that, Goldberg will be the reigning and defending Universal Champion heading into WrestleMania, which will put him in the perfect position for one last match with Brock Lesnar.
