MVP had uploaded a picture of Lashley and Lesnar face to face. The Undertaker reacted with several ‘flying money’ emojis to assert that this match would allow WWE to sell many tickets. A lot of fans want Lesnar to face Lashley, especially after the latter finally became the WWE Champion. However, there have been no reports about Lesnar’s potential return to WWE ahead of WrestleMania.

#8 Goldberg sees himself in current WWE Superstar

Earlier this year, former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre successfully defended his title against Goldberg at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. The latter talked about the challenges he had to face ahead of locking horns with McIntyre in his documentary. Goldberg further stated that going up against McIntyre made him feel like he was preparing to face his younger self. Here’s what Goldberg had to say:

"The problem I have is the time constraint. I think physically, even though I'm at an accelerated age, I think I'm still there. I'm not called upon to be some shmuck who's easily run over, you know. Especially in a situation like this, preparing for Drew (McIntyre), who's as in shape as anybody is going to be, as a champion should be. You know, it's like fighting a younger version of myself, in a little way."

After Goldberg, McIntyre defended his WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber. However, his celebration was cut short after The Miz cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and used Lashley’s help to win the title. The Miz would then lose his WWE Championship to Lashley on WWE RAW.
