WWE built up Goldberg's appearance in the 2017 Royal Rumble match as Brock Lesnar's opportunity at vengeance following The Beast Incarnate's embarrassment at Survivor Series. Coming into the match, Goldberg along with The Undertaker and eventual winner Randy Orton were three of the favorites to win WWE’s marquee match.

On the previous episode of Raw, the show closed with Goldberg, Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar staring at each other, hyping up their potential encounters during the Royal Rumble. What followed at the event was Goldberg entering at number 28 and immediately eliminating Lesnar, continuing his dominance over The Beast. Goldberg would continue to run roughshod over the field before being eliminated by The Undertaker.

While his appearance accomplished its goal of setting up the rematch with Lesnar and a future bout with The Phenom, this was nothing special from Goldberg.
