3. WWE Has Better Options Going Forward
When you look at the current WWE roster, there are at least half a dozen men who are better positioned to win the Royal Rumble.
On Raw, there’s several possibilities, including Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, and Chris Jericho. From the SmackDown Live side of things, there may be even more, including The Miz, Baron Corbin, and Dolph Ziggler. All of those names tell you that the need to have the veteran Goldberg go over in the match, is very low on the scale of possibilities.
Each of the men named above, with perhaps the exclusion of Jericho, are solid bets to be the future of the company in many ways. The Rumble is the perfect way to give a massive boost to a man like Strowman, a man who has been built up to be a monster since the Brand Split. Or to give Jericho the perfect chance to have a last run with a big title in the WWE.
The Miz has made himself one of the best heels in the entire world, since being reunited with his wife Maryse on screen. Dolph Ziggler seems to be a perennial top tier guy, and will go a long way if he sticks on his current run. The most intriguing option from SmackDown could be Baron Corbin, he’s come a long way since making the step up from NXT.
