Despite Randy Orton winning the Royal Rumble to go on to WrestleMania to battle Bray Wyatt in the "main event", it sounds like the match actually closing out the night will be Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.

While the bout does feel bigger than SmackDown's offering, will the two monsters put on an actual match this time around? At this point it sounds unlikely.

The Wrestling Observer has reported that match three in the Goldberg/Lesnar series is expected to be another quick one to close out the night. However, this time around Lesnar is slated to win and walk out with the title.

After the two titans went only 86 seconds at Survivor Series, then had another brief showdown at the Royal Rumble, pulling the same act three times in a row may not be greeted with much enthusiasm.

However, at 50-years-old, and not taking any bumps for over a decade, Goldberg may not be able to physically handle a series of supelxes at the hands of The Beast. That's part of the reason why his matches have been booked so short to this point. Having them go 10-15 minutes could be a disaster.

Still, it will be fascinating to watch the reaction to this all play out at WrestleMania.
