After his improbable return the previous fall, Goldberg threw his hat in the ring at Royal Rumble 2017, looking to get himself a title shot at WrestleMania – and another confrontation with Brock Lesnar.

Because wrestling is funny that way, Lesnar entered at #26, and Goldberg followed at #28, leading to a staredown between the two. Things didn’t go well for Brock, as Goldberg leveled him immediately with a spear and then clotheslined the Beast out of the Rumble, marking the second time Goldberg got the best of Lesnar.

Unfortunately for Goldberg, his run in the Rumble was short-lived, as Undertaker appeared at #29 and tossed him from behind. It was a pretty unceremonious end to Goldberg’s night, but it furthered his rivalry with Lesnar, and he didn’t embarrass himself, so it’s got a leg up on Super Showdown.
