WWE Universal Championship
4:45 is the “official” time for Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg. We saw Brock Lesnar start off hot with German Suplexes, but Goldberg hit a Spear and then another one through the barricade. Back in the ring, Brock Lesnar kicked out of the Spear and Jackhammer to stay alive. In shock, Goldberg tried to get him again, but Brock took over and ultimately ended the night of Goldberg.
This was everything it needed to be. We knew it was going to be quick, but it was almost 5 minutes and it was fast and hard hitting. Both men worked well together and made up for their past disappointments. Brock Lesnar and Goldberg getting the reactions they did tonight, in 4 minutes and 45 seconds, is why they were in the Universal Championship match and other full-time guys weren’t. I get it now and I understand why they do it. Business is business and these guys are absolute money. It’s never going to be a Meltzer 5 star match, but it was very solid and gave the night a shot of fast action it was missing.

It is the end of The Undertaker. A truly emotional moment for the guy who has carried so many incredible WrestleMania moments, matches and memories. This match was not the best. In fact, it was slow and very generic. If it was anyone else, it would’ve been below average. They gave these guys 23 minutes in a night that lasted 7 total hours of action. Too long of a night, but I am happy the crowd did not crap on the last time we see The Undertaker compete at WrestleMania. WrestleMania 33 was the end of the road and Roman Reigns was the best option to end the career of The Undertaker.
