After a disastrous promo last time around, Goldberg was paired up Monday night with two veterans who rule on the mic, Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens.

Once Jeri-KO primed the crowd, Goldberg came out and accepted Brock Lesnar’s challenge for a match at WrestleMania XXXIII. The former WCW icon then turned his attention to the other two guys in the ring, as Jericho laid into him. But before Y2J could add him to the List of Jericho, Goldberg took the clipboard and added his own name, leaving Chris stunned.

And that flummoxed Jericho then accepted Goldberg’s challenge of Owens for a Universal Championship match at Fastlane next month, setting up a major match for the final PPV before Mania.

All in all, it was a solid promo from all three men, setting up two major PPV matches and entertaining the fans.
