WWE Survivor Series 2016: 5 Reasons Brock Lesnar Should Beat Goldberg

1. Lesnar is More Valuable to WWE Than Goldberg

This is sort of the overarching theme of all the other reasons on this list, but very simply, a Goldberg victory does absolutely nothing to help WWE in the long term. Of course they want to be on good terms with Goldberg, so it’s not like they’re going to disrespect him just because he’s less valuable to them. But this does mean they’re probably going to have him lose in order to keep their biggest attraction looking strong.

Lesnar losing to Goldberg would diminish their biggest attraction. Although Goldberg is historically a huge threat in the ring, he hasn’t stepped into said ring in over 10 years. How bad would it look if Lesnar were to lose to someone like that despite him dominating any and all competition over the past few years? It would make him look like a bit of a joke.

WWE is going to milk Lesnar for all he is worth. They are not going to throw his superhuman aura away just to give Goldberg a nice little victory on his way out. They’ve always done what they feel is best for business, just as we saw when Lesnar defeated the Undertaker. Undertaker’s streak was extremely valuable to the in terms of attraction come WrestleMania-time, but they felt they could pass that level of attraction off to Lesnar, and they did so effectively.

Lesnar must not lose to Goldberg at Survivor Series unless WWE wants their biggest attraction diminished while getting nothing in return.
