WWE Raw: 10 Things You May Have Missed (Nov 21)

10. WWE's Goldberg Vs. Lesnar Recap Lasted As Long As The Match

Social media blew up immediately following Bill Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. Some enjoyed seeing Goldberg back in his element, running roughshod over an opponent and looking like the man once again. Others were dismayed at the treatment of Lesnar, crying foul that the man who ended The Undertaker's WrestleMania streak was squashed.

The pay-per-view match didn't last long, and it was recapped as Monday Night Raw went live. Incredibly, WWE's own video package detailing the marquee encounter lasted almost as long as the match itself did. At Survivor Series, Goldberg vs. Lesnar was over in less than 90 seconds.

Come Raw, the introductory highlight video was slightly longer in duration. It was used to set up Goldberg's in-person appearance on the program, revealing that Stephanie McMahon had agreed to enter him into the 2017 Royal Rumble match.

It's pretty scary that a series of highlights from a major match lasted as long as (if not longer than) the headline pay-per-view bout in 2016. Still, WWE's production team did a predictably-excellent job piecing it all together.
