Another rumour started some time last week or the week before that the WWE was thinking of having the RR winner be from Smackdown, but then challenge the RAW Champ (Hunter) instead of the SD champ. This was confirmed as being a discussed plan in the Observer this week. Furthermore, the Observer is also saying the working plan is still to have Brock vs Goldberg and it would be for the SD title.
Also, after watching SD a couple of weeks ago it looked like they were setting up Benoit to recreate Ric Flair's achievements by going a full hour to win the Royal Rumble in order to make him a superstar.
So it stands to reason with the WWE wanting to do Brock-Goldberg, that they would have Benoit win and then challenge for the RAW title. Also consider that the winner of the Rumble gets the last match at Mania. So it also stands to reason that the WWE would want Benoit capturing his first "WWE" title as the last match at Wrestlemania. This would be a better choice in terms of match quality (and since its likley Brock as a heel will go over in this match) over Brock-Goldberg and more importantly from a political standpoint you know Hunter will want to be in the top spot at the biggest show in WWE history. This scenario would please Hunter, which is obviously very important.
None of this is confirmed 100%, but all the pieces seem to fit. You add that to the fact that they have decided to hold off the Orton turn on Hunter to go with the Rock n Sock tag match, and it makes even more sense.
Another piece of news from the Observer was that apparently all the top matches for Mania were laid out over a month ago, and all the angles are being set up so that those matches will have as much steam as possible going into the show. So, thats good news.

You know you're usually right about alot of things, and if you're right about this, then I will be very impressed. So u think there will be a trade or what? Eric wants Goldberg away from Hunter really bad and is willing to trade for Benoit who Heyman doesn't like at all would seem like a likely scenerio if there is going to be a trade. Royal Rumble should be a VERY interesting show if what you're saying is correct...
