10 WWE Questions You Most Want Answered (March 3)
10. Is There Any Chance Kevin Owens Will Retain At Fastlane?
I'm personally predicting Goldberg for this one, but I don't think it's a dead cert by any stretch of the imagination. Yes, given WWE's recent tendency of rocketing big name part-timers to the top of the card (and often giving them titles), a Goldberg victory seems most likely. On the other hand, his match with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 is already a big enough clash without the Universal Championship being on the line.
As for the match itself, it's hard to see how KO will win unless it's by DQ or an imaginative count out. As somebody pointed out on Reddit this week, the only bump Goldberg has taken since his return was an ill-advised backstage headbutt to the locker room door - causing him to bleed during that Raw promo.
Ultimately yes, I think Owens will lose his title. I believe he'll last longer than Lesnar did, only for Jericho to come out and take revenge.
