Don't expect a lot to actually happen in this match, even if Drew McIntyre and the creative team did a pretty admirable job of selling it on the go-home show when fans were reminded that winning titles is what Goldberg does when he returns.

'Da Man' looked knackered when he raced through his verbiage to set this thing up, but the point there was that Drew McIntyre didn't have enough respect for legends. Patent b*llocks, but something else they can revisit after three spears, a jackhammer, three Claymores and a few kickouts.

Far from getting any sort of rub from the former Universal Champion and WWE Hall Of Famer, McIntyre's job might be to try and babyface Big Bill to an audience still quite f*cking p*ssed off about him flattening The Fiend last year. Mutual respect shown after the battle will free up Goldberg to work a more conventional WrestleMania programme akin to his 2019 summer showing with Dolph Ziggler. That's if he doesn't find his way back to the title via a new Champion first...

Winner - Drew McIntyre
