10 Last-Minute WWE Fastlane 2017 Rumours You Need To Know

Goldberg will be challenging Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship on Sunday, but that leaves him in a uniquely vulnerable position - with his focus on one opponent, it wouldn't be hard for Brock Lesnar to show up and put "Da Man" down with a surprise attack, possibly even costing him the match.

There would be a symmetry to such an attack by "The Beast." In February of 2014 - a month before Goldberg and Lesnar fought at WrestleMania XX - Goldberg interfered in Lesnar's WWE Championship defense against Eddie Guerrero, helping Guerrero capture the championship in an incredible match.

Still, that bit of interference by Goldberg happened before the WrestleMania match was signed. This time, Lesnar knows he's wrestling the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion, so all he'd be doing by costing him the match is denying himself a shot at the Universal Championship. With that in mind, plus the fact that Lesnar doesn't show up without being advertised, it's unlikely he'll play a role in the main event.
