WWE Raw February 27 Results
Feb 28, 2017 at 12:31 PM
The show started as Goldberg entered the arena. Goldberg entered the ring and thanked the crowd for the overwhelming welcome. He said that last week Kevin Owens did what he does best and that is talk. But in six days at Fastlane, there would not be any more talk, Goldberg would take the Universal title away and will carry it to WrestleMania to face Brock Lesnar.
Universal champion Kevin Owens interfered. He said that he grabbed WWE by the throat and showed who he actually. He beat wrestlers like John Cena, Dean Ambrose, AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and he would not show any mercy to Chris Jericho, neither to Goldberg. He said that ‘Goldberg is next’ in the evolution of Kevin Owens as the Universal champion.
Goldberg said that he was really annoyed by his speech and he did not want to wait till Sunday. Owens said that Green bay did not deserve to see him fighting but at Fastlane, Goldberg chants would die.
