We wondered how they would set up another Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg match, as has been rumored for the WrestleMania 33 pay-per-view (PPV) scheduled for Sun., April 2, 2017, at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
Answer: Paul Heyman would, on his client’s behalf, ask for it.

Heyman’s promo on tonight’s episode of Raw in Laredo, Texas centered on their being a “yeah, but” in the career of many legends, and there always seems to be that one opponent that gets the better of said legends, no matter how legendary they may be. For Lesnar, that “yeah, but” is Goldberg.
And he wants the chance to turn it around with a “yeah, but” of his own at WrestleMania.
Or something like that.
Goldberg, having absolutely run through Brock twice now, has no reason to accept the match, at least not where things stand now. Expect more in the weeks to come.
