Latest On WrestleMania Plans For Goldberg And Roman Reigns

It’s no secret why Bill Goldberg vs. Kevin Owens went last at Fastlane, because Goldberg can’t work a match longer than one minute without risking injury. In the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer notes that Goldberg’s streak during his current WWE run is set to come to an end.

Current plans call for Brock Lesnar to defeat Goldberg for the Universal Title at WrestleMania 33 and carry the belt afterwards. The Brock vs. Goldberg match is still set to main event the card and given that the last two actual matches Goldberg has had haven’t been long at all, his WrestleMania encounter against The Beast Incarnate shouldn’t be any different.

It’s likely that the fans will hate the way the Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns match will end, and no matter how WWE plans on booking Roman long term, he will still be the biggest heel on April 2nd by a long shot.

Initial plans two years ago called for Roman Reigns to beat Brock Lesnar to become “the man” but those plans were shied away from because they feared the backlash from WWE fans. However, they have kind of backed themselves into a corner in a way, and it looks like the current plan is for Undertaker to lose to Roman at Mania.

John Cena was originally supposed to face The Undertaker at WrestleMania, but Vince changed his mind to Roman Reigns because he has always wanted Reigns to face off against Taker before the Deadman retires.
