5. WrestleMania Doesn’t Need Him in the Main Event Match
The whole premise of the Royal Rumble is that the winner will go on to a title match at WrestleMania, more often than not in the main event spot. With the brand split in effect, there are a whole plethora of opportunities for who the champion is that receives that challenge this year.
One thing for sure is that WWE doesn’t need Goldberg to be in that spot.
Right now it still seems like we could be set for a Goldberg vs Lesnar match on the grandest stage of them all. After that stunning win at Survivor Series, Lesnar owes Goldberg a beating. There’s a more than reasonable chance that they will come face to face during the Rumble match. With a good chance that Lesnar may be the man to eliminate Goldberg from the match itself, as some measure of revenge for that Survivor Series encounter.
If the Goldberg vs Lesnar match does go on to take place at ‘Mania, WWE has enough of a selling point not to need a title or a Rumble win attached to it. Fans around the world are clamoring to see a re-match between these two that is actually a competitive contest.
