Epic Standoff between Goldberg, The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar
On Monday night, Goldberg was seen in WWE Raw. On top of that, there are huge championship matches and potentially something involving Seth Rollins and Triple H. Let’s take a look at what’s to come in the Alamodome.
The far more intriguing decision is to swap Rollins out for Zayn.
Coming back from such a devastating injury, which forced him to vacate his title, was hard, Rollins admitted.
Angle recently pulled out of a January 28 wrestling event in Scotland-the same weekend as the Royal Rumble-and it hinted that Angle was clearing the deck for a shock WWE return. “I’m going to predict that it will be, I say it will either be Undertaker to win the Royal Rumble or a surprise entrant, somebody that hasn’t been announced yet”.
There is a possibility that Lesnar, Goldberg and The Undertaker will be the main attraction during Sunday’s Royal Rumble and could be the last three men standing.
Kevin Owens is listed for the shows, but neither Owens nor Jericho have listed opponents. The Rumble offers an opportunity for 30 wrestlers’ individual stories to intertwine in unexpected ways, and tonight’s episode indicates that Sunday’s match will indeed be more than just a bunch of existing rivalries playing out simultaneously. What’s more, all of them ought to have a storyline waiting for them on the other side of the Rumble. The company has been accused many times in the past of going the familiar route with its pay-per-view main events, so maybe that’s all changing now. Meanwhile, Lesnar fought against some of the top Royal Rumble contenders and he defeated Roman Reigns with an F-5.
Mere hours before Monday night Raw, Team Red broadcaster Mike Rome gives a massive update on which titanic Superstar will be competing in the 2017 Royal Rumble Match.
6-Man Tag: Jack Gallagher, T.J. Perkins, & Mustafa Ali def. Ariya Daivari, Tony Nese, & Drew Gulak by Mustafa Ali pinning Drew Gulak following the reverse 450 Splash. Being one of the better pushed talents this year, Strowman seems to be on path to eventually be fed to “the Big Dog”. He made a beeline for the ring and stood toe-to-toe with Strowman, staring him down until the up-and-coming superstar left the ring.
In the post 205 Live dark main event, John Cena defeated AJ Styles by DQ after a low blow. Mainly, it likely sets him up to face – assuming everything goes according to worst case plans – Roman Reigns at Mania. He’s one of the only people entered in the Royal Rumble that could challenge either the WWE or Universal Champion. Bayley will definitely become Raw Women’s Champion, just not yet.
“That’s the goal”, Reigns continued.
Nia Jax wo with a Banzai Drop. All we can hope for is that this is the year WWE makes up for its past 3 Royal Rumbles, and we’ll have our excitement realized.
Rich Swann (c) def. Noam Dar pinfall: Swann’s cruiserweight championship was not up for grabs in the match.
Chris Jericho will be suspended inside a shark cage for this match, which should make for some amusing sound bites. This is the one that means the most for me. It turns out Goldberg’s pre-match ritual involves bashing his head against the door to the locker room.
“I wasn’t built for the indie scene – I was built for the WWE”, said Cena, who only spent a brief stretch in a California independent organization at the start of his career before signing with the WWE.
Thus, the big stars like Bill Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, and others will make their final appearance to take the buildup to the next level and maintain curiosity at the same time.
