According to a recent report from Wrestling Observer, WWE will likely have Daniel Bryan or WWE Hall Of Famer Goldberg face Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at the Show Of Shows. Below is what the source had noted,

“Right now it would look like Bryan and Goldberg would be the top contenders for the Reigns match at Mania. Bryan gives you the better match and Goldberg gives him the more mainstream interest which is kind of sad when you bring in a guy whose prime year would be 23 years earlier instead of having a series of challenges ready that people should care about more because of being current.”

Since Goldberg is already booked on Raw against Drew McIntyre at Royal Rumble, he’s not likely to be back on SmackDown and have a program with Reigns, for now. So, Daniel Bryan has a really good chance to square off with the Tribal Chief of WWE and compete for the Universal Title.
