While reports have stated the Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar match will take place at Survivor Series on Nov. 20 in Toronto, WWE has yet to make that official. That could happen as early as next week, when the former WCW heavyweight champion makes his long awaited return to Monday Night Raw in Denver.
If nothing else, we can be reasonably certain that’s when the match will happen if only because the two are advertised for so many upcoming episodes of Raw.
The latest:

Advertising for Raw leading into Survivor Series, then, looks like this:
Oct. 17: Goldberg
Oct. 24: Lesnar
Oct. 31: Goldberg
Nov. 7: Neither
Nov. 14: Goldberg & Lesnar
The Nov. 7 show is overseas, and it makes sense to alternate appearances before a big angle leading into the match at the PPV. They’re playing it smart so far, it seems, even if you don’t agree with the match actually taking place.
