Kevin Owens was able to successfully defend his WWE Universal Championship at the 2017 Royal Rumble against Roman Reigns. Owens had some help from Braun Strowman, who interfered during the match and took out Reigns, allowing Owens to retain his title.

Here are some of the latest rumors circulating about the WWE Universal Championship and the direction it will be heading as we get closer to Wrestlemania 33.
There are rumors circulating right now that Goldberg could be the next opponent for Kevin Owens’ WWE Universal Championship. As noted prior, Goldberg is currently scheduled to compete at the WWE Fastlane PPV event in March.
To take things a step further, rumors right now are suggesting that Goldberg will defeat Owens for the WWE Universal Championship at Fastlane. This would set up Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania but with the WWE Universal Championship involved.
There are also suggestions that Lesnar will appear at Fastlane and cost Goldberg the title. This would set up a match between the two, but without the title on the line.
The real question is, will WWE involve the Universal Title in the Goldberg vs Lesnar feud or will they allow Kevin Owens to main event Wrestlemania?

Our take: I personally feel like giving the Universal Title to the Goldberg vs Brock feud would be a mistake. They already have fans invested. I also don’t think fans want to see a part-timer like Goldberg hold the title. I think the right move would be to have Lesnar cost Goldberg the title and have Kevin Owens vs Chris Jericho for the Universal belt at Wrestlemania.
