When Geno brought us news last night that Kevin Owens was celebrating sending Chris Jericho to the hospital and generally making everyone question the entire concept of friendship by mocking his Fastlane opponent on Twitter, we all thought their quick, two Tweet exchange would be it.
After all, everybody in the wrestling business knows not to get into a social media war with KO, right?
Not Bill Goldberg, apparently, as the #1 contender for the Universal title kept moving forward...

Ok, Bill. I've been digging holes for myself for 17 years and I'm doing pretty good. See you at Fastlane. https://t.co/vUqamkWP19

Even though the champ’s response gave the 50 year old former World titleholder a chance to exit gracefully - Kev pretty much just talked up his own credentials and said see you later - Dadberg waded further into the deep end...

.@FightOwensFight Well... If "Goldberg" or "Sir" doesn't work for you, than yes, Daddy is fine.

So KO said what we were all thinking (minus the Valentine’s Day wishes)...
I'm sure that in your mind, that sounded super cool and badass but it's just really, really creepy. Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day, Bill! https://t.co/DA7XgiP8wI

That appears to be the end. And for Goldberg, let’s hope so.
