Goldberg makes his way to the ring, to a fairly mixed reaction.
He says that the Universal title belongs to the fans as much as it does him. Without them he wouldn’t be here. He says he stands here tonight, a very humble man. He says he will divulge some information that he never thought he would, and the fans start to chant “CM Punk!”. Goldberg nods along to the chant and says, “yeah, I hear that”.
Paul Heyman walks out and introduces himself. Heyman says he knows he is not worthy of walking down to the ring and standing alongside Goldberg. He says he won’t shake Goldberg’s hand because he came here, not as Paul Heyman, but as the advocate of the challenger, BROCK LESNAR!
Brock makes his way ringside, and circles the ring before entering. Brock squares right up to Goldberg. Heyman sarcastically introduces them to each other and says Brock came here to shake Goldberg’s hand. Heyman’s client knows how happy Goldberg must be, considering he demolished Kevin Owens last night. He says Lesnar is the only person happier about that because at WrestleMania he will take the title.
Here comes that congratulatory handshake… #RAW @BrockLesnar @Goldberg pic.twitter.com/6sTIxF37r1

Heyman says he is a man who gives spoilers and here’s one now: at the end of the night there will be a new, reigning, defending, Universal Champion and his name is Brock Lesnar. Brock extends his hand to Goldberg, who laughs at it. Heyman then says everyone will look at Goldberg as nothing more than Brock Lesnar’s bitch. Goldberg turns to stare at Heyman, and Lesnar swiftly picks him up and lands an F5! The Allstate Arena cheer.
OR NOT! @BrockLesnar delivers an F5 to #UniversalChampion @Goldberg just four weeks shy of @WrestleMania! #RAW pic.twitter.com/6pmvOpxaTN
