Three weeks before Survivor Series 2016, Paul Heyman amusingly lied to Goldberg about Brock Lesnar’s whereabouts on the October 31 episode of RAW.
During an in-ring promo, Heyman told Goldberg that Lesnar was backstage and moments away from confronting the WCW legend.
“My client is not just a Beast,” Heyman said. “My client is an impatient Beast. My client has decided he’s not gonna wait until Survivor Series, because my client wants to face you face-to-face right here. So, ladies and gentlemen… BBBRRROCK… LLLESNAR...”

Goldberg watched on from inside the ring with an intense look on his face while Lesnar’s music played. As more and more time passed, it soon emerged that Paul Heyman had lied and The Beast Incarnate was not really waiting backstage.
Instead, Rusev made his way down to the ring and punched Goldberg in the face. The WWE veteran responded with a series of knee strikes to The Bulgarian Brute before landing a Jackhammer. He then hit Heyman with a ferocious spear to end the segment.
