5. Brock Lesnar

As we said before, Lesnar would make most sense entering at No. 2 or 3. If he would make the entrance at No. 2, creative could instantly have a brawl to start the rumble. Instead, if Lesnar were to eventually enter at No. 3 or 4 that would give a more slow-burner approach. By the time Lesnar enters the rumble, Goldberg would have had significant momentum after eliminating at least 2 people.

One could always reverse the roles and have Lesnar go in at No. 1. But Lesnar’s entrance isn’t as hair-raising as Goldberg’s. Moreover, we all know Lesnar can kick ass. It’s Goldberg’s ass kicking that fans would be eager to watch. Eventually, Lesnar could come in and do what he does best. If Goldberg is not going to be the No. 1 or 2 entrant, then creative would be better off moving Lesnar to a position somewhere near Goldberg.

We are almost certain at this point that these two would go on for one final match at Wrestlemania. Something drastic would have to happen eventually to prevent that. As such, one could expect things to go between Lesnar and Goldberg rather predictably. One of them outlasting the other is a distant possibility.
