Lesnar Still Wants Goldberg

Neither Goldberg nor Lesnar won the Royal Rumble this year. But Goldberg did once again make Lesnar look bad during the Royal Rumble match. That led to Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman showing up on Raw to challenge Goldberg for another match at Wrestlemania.

I am going to repeat one of my criticisms for continuing this feud. I have seen other fans bring it up now in response to the WWE still going with this. So what if Lesnar finally beats Goldberg? Goldberg still has a winning record over Lesnar. Wouldn't that still irritate Lesnar? Shouldn't it irritate Lesnar? This isn't a rubber match, which are usually more intriguing.

The dirtsheet rumored plans involved Goldberg winning the Universal Championship at Fastlane and dropping it to Lesnar at Wrestlemania. I don't know how that looks now. Kevin Owens still looks involved with Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. Strowman had a title match on Raw this week. That ended by disqualification when Reigns interfered, paying him back for costing him the title the previous night. Reigns then speared Owens. Strowman still has an argument for deserving a title shot. Reigns left his mark on Owens. A triple threat just makes sense right now. If the WWE does go in the direction of Owens vs. Goldberg, I'll talk about that.

I will say one good thing about what they are doing. They are actually developing a storyline for a Lesnar feud. A lot of Lesnar's feuds have just been an opponent popping up and Lesnar having a feud with him. That's how his feud with Randy Orton went. That's how his feud with Goldberg even started. The challenge was laid down and the feud just started. But now there is an actual storyline to prolong the feud. Can Lesnar beat Goldberg?

Overall, however, this Wrestlemania season is shaping up to be pretty flat. I already talked about the Royal Rumble this year not being that great. You have the saga between Triple H and Seth Rollins, which I will talk about next time. Does the Undertaker really have an epic opponent in front of him this year? You don't have anyone as hot as Daniel Bryan has sometimes been at this time of year. The WWE might need to raise the heat somehow.

Next week on Raw, Goldberg will respond to Lesnar. Is that where they might raise the heat? Don't just let Goldberg come out there and just say that he accepts Lesnar's challenge. No need to set up a feud with Kevin Owens. But find some way to add something more to this feud with Brock Lesnar. I would rather Goldberg feud with someone new, but if this feud has to continue, so be it. Why not have Goldberg say that Lesnar and Heyman have to make it worth his while to face Lesnar again? Lesnar can then put his career on the line. Yes, it is only a part-time career, but the WWE has done this kind of thing before. How about making this match a #1 contender's match? Can The Undertaker be thrown in? These three were in the ring together on Raw last week. That got a lot of fans excited. I hate triple threats where nothing is on the line. Again, how about a title shot being on the line? Whatever they do, this cannot just be a typical continuation of this feud. It can lose steam real fast.
