According to Universal Champion Goldberg, his match against Brock Lesnar will be a “blood fest, […] a knock-down, drag out war.” That’s what he said on Edge and Christian’s recently launched podcast, a show that’s been heavily plugged by WWE on social media as company-friendly.

Goldberg’s statement implies that their match will involve ‘colour’, which suggests it could last a lot longer than their previous two outings. We may well see a repeat of Brock and Orton’s Summerslam head-opening ritual last year. This could even be the moment Goldberg proves the world wrong, and wrestles a lengthy opus worthy of the WrestleMania main event.

The former is probably more likely, but for Goldberg to explicitly insist that a ‘blood fest’ awaits us is a bold statement - and it’ll be a little disappointing to see a humdrum and decidedly PG spear-jackhammer squash instead.
