WWE News: Goldberg-Brock Lesnar Face-Off To Happen On January 23 On Raw

The audience has been waiting for months to see another face-off between Goldberg and Brock Lesnar. Last time, they shared the ring was during the main event of Survivor Series PPV, in which Lesnar suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of the returning one in just 86 seconds.

Lesnar has not been in WWE since then except for the one-off match at a house show in Mexico City against Rusev, in which he picked up a dominant win. As advertised, last week, he’ll be back on television tonight on WWE Raw from Little Rock, Arkansas. Goldberg is not being advertised for the show and there’s no expectation of any collision.

Now, the WWE creative wanted to hold the much-anticipated confrontation between these two for the Rumble match.

However, despite the appearances of Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, the TV ratings went down and this gave the creative a major headache. Hence, there has been a change of planning.

So, Lesnar has been booked for next week’s Raw as well. Previously, only Goldberg was advertised for next week since the appearances were planned alternatively. But to hype up the Royal Rumble event, both Goldberg and Lesnar will be under the same roof for the very first time since Survivor Series, next week.

As reported by allwrestlingnews.com, this might be a great boost to the TV ratings for the flagship show. There’s no confirmation yet whether they’ll be getting physical on the show or not. But it’s almost guaranteed that we will see a preview of things to come in the Rumble match.

With this advertisement, it is also clear that the WWE’s idea of having a Goldberg vs. Lesnar number three in near future is still intact. We will learn further about the story after Lesnar shows up on January 16 edition of Raw to confirm next week’s appearance.
