2. How Does Goldberg Get a Title Shot Just Like That?

So Goldberg walks in, accepts Lesnar’s Wrestlemania challenge and then walks out with a shot at Owens’ universal title come Fastlane. How much sense would that make? The 49-year-old has over-stayed his welcome. It is true fans still chant ‘Goldberg’ every time he would enter the arena. But the question must be asked. At what cost?

To put Goldberg over, creative had to constantly sacrifice Brock Lesnar of all people. The list would also include Rusev who has been a stepping stone for Goldberg upon returning. Now, he gets a shot at the universal title. It is still unclear at this moment as to where would this all lead to. Would Lesnar interfere in the match and cost him the title? That would add some more animosity to their final showdown.

Would Goldberg do the unthinkable and head to Wrestlemania with the title? It is almost unthinkable at this moment. I would rather have Roman Reigns defend the Universal title against James Ellsworth. WWE’s reliance on part-timers at the cost of full-time new era stars has to end.
