On this week’s episode of Raw, WWE aired footage from a sit down interview that Michael Cole conducted with Paul Heyman, and Heyman talked about Brock Lesnar’s loss to Goldberg. Heyman was emotional, and he told Cole that they took Goldberg lightly at Survivor Series, and they screwed up. He then confirmed that Brock Lesnar will be entering the 2017 Royal Rumble match. So far Goldberg and Brock Lesnar are the only two participants who have been confirmed.
