WWE Royal Rumble 2017: 5 Reasons Brock Lesnar Should Win

4. Something a Little Unexpected

Back in November, wrestling fans received one of the biggest surprises in a long time – Brock Lesnar lost in a squash match. No one would have predicted Goldberg winning in the fashion that he did in the rematch of WrestleMania XX. With that in mind, Lesnar being able to rebound for a championship opportunity might be a little unexpected.

There was some belief that there was going to be a rematch between Lesnar and Goldberg at this year’s WrestleMania. However, it sounds like the WWE wants to go a different direction. But there is still some mystery surrounding what their final decision on the match card is going to be. So having Lesnar win the 2017 WWE Royal Rumble is going to be a bit of a surprise.

Lesnar having the championship opportunity in the main event of WrestleMania 33 is going to lead to an interesting decision. He could always make the jump to SmackDown Live to challenge AJ Styles for the WWE Championship. It would definitely be a clash of styles with size and strength against speed and agility.

But Lesnar could always remain on Raw and challenge Kevin Owens for the WWE Universal Championship. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Lesnar seeking a new heavyweight championship to add to his impressive resume.
