WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predicting Odds for All 30 Potential Entrants

12. Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar became the second entrant into the WWE Royal Rumble match back in November. This came days after Goldberg entered. Before that, the former WCW star destroyed Lesnar in 86 seconds at the Survivor Series pay-per-view.
We have not seen the Beast Incarnate since this night, which may be the case until we get to the Royal Rumble. Despite his lack of presence, he will still be discussed as a favorite to win.
However, the whole Lesnar-Goldberg angle still seems to be in play for a future date, likely WrestleMania 33. If so, this would take out the former Next Big thing from the equation and set up a showdown between these two during the Royal Rumble match. These two eliminating each other may be a possibility here too.
Why would there be a shot of Lesnar winning after the events at Survivor Series? If anything, his stock is at its lowest point since his loss to John Cena in 2012. A bit of a repair will be needed to get him anywhere close to where he was in 2015, which may not happen again. If WWE were to give him the Royal Rumble victory following this, then it would be a pretty sizable upset.
