When was the last time you saw a dude that big do a kip-up? He's over, perhaps a little too over, as a heel. This man has excelled in every facet of the ring. PICK: KEVIN OWENSīraun Strowman (Photo Credit: Lukas Schulze/Bongarts/Getty Images)Ĭhuck: Braun Strowman is rapidly becoming one of WWE's hottest commodities, and it's not hard to see why. So I'm pulling for Owens, because I have enjoyed his story with Jericho and think having the Universal championship on the line makes it that much sweeter. Goldberg is big enough at WrestleMania that it doesn't need a title to be on the line. I think the third installment of Lesnar vs. I also don't think Chris Jericho will be that far behind in seeking retribution on Owens. Scott: I am going to go with Kevin Owens here with some interference from Brock Lesnar. And because of it, Goldberg is going to be a champion 14 years after he last held a belt. While I truly believe Owens-Jericho should be for the title, it just doesn't seem like it's in the cards right now.
It makes Goldberg-Lesnar for the title the instant main event of the night. It has nothing to do with Kevin Owens, and everything to do with the fact that they want one of their title matches to be a marquee match, and right now that's not really happening on SmackDown. Goldberg is getting a WWE title shot in 2017 (okay, Universal, but you get the point). PICK: GOLDBERGĪaron: We're at this point. I see a Goldberg victory by DQ, but the belt staying with KO. Both Jericho and Lesnar are going to get involved in this one. A win may be good for economics, but it's not what's best for business. 3 (4 if you count the Royal Rumble match) would generate a sizable number of new subscriptions to the WWE Network. Is it really worth it? It is plausible that Goldberg-Lesnar vol. Maybe they're willing to plunk their money down on a spear and jackhammer.Ĭhuck: WWE needs to perform a risk assessment on putting the gold on Goldberg. Picking the matches with me, as always, are my fellow wrestling insiders. It's a gamble, and WWE must decide if they're willing to go all-in on a legend who probably won't be around for very long. It's entirely possible that with gold around his waist Goldberg's honeymoon would come to a crashing halt and fans would give him the chilly Roman Reigns treatment. Putting the Universal title on Goldberg at Fastlane would be a dicey proposition with a finicky WWE Universe. Is WWE daring enough to take the title off of one of their hottest acts and cool off what could be an enormous match between Kevin Owen and Chris Jericho? The payoff for a war between ex-best friends would be so much more rewarding if the Universal title were on the line.
Will Brock Lesnar and Goldberg square off in a blockbuster Universal title match? That's the biggest question of all. On the undercard, Roman Reigns defeated Braun Strowman, ending Strowman's undefeated streak, Bayley retained the Raw Women's Championship against Charlotte Flair, thus ending Flair's undefeated streak in singles matches at pay-per-views, Neville retained the WWE Cruiserweight Championship against Gentleman Jack Gallagher, and Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson retained the Raw Tag Team Championship against Enzo Amore and Big Cass.WWE Fastlane is going to answer a lot of questions about the WrestleMania card. In the main event, Goldberg defeated Kevin Owens to win the WWE Universal Championship, becoming the only person to win the Universal Championship, WWE's World Heavyweight Championship, and the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Ten matches were contested at the event with one match on the Kickoff pre-show. This was the first Fastlane event to be brand exclusive, following the reintroduction of the brand split in July 2016, and the first non-WrestleMania WWE pay-per-view to take place in March. The event aired on pay-per-view (PPV) and the WWE Network and it took place on March 5, 2017, at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw brand division.
