Brock Lesnar and Kevin Owens have never crossed ever since the Beast has returned to WWE.

Also, there have been reviews that Owens can be going through ”The Underdog from the Underground” Sami Zayn at the ones presentations.

The ”Owens as opposed to Zayn” suits can be for the WWE Universal Championship, despite the fact that Dave Meltzer noted on the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio that the ”Reigns vs. Strowman” suits can be headlining the ones presentations, however the plan is for Reigns to move head to head with ”The Deadman” The Undertaker at WrestleMania, which used to be teased all through the Traditional 30-man Royal Rumble match.

It seems that Kevin Owens as opposed to ”The Icon” Bill Goldberg for the WWE Universal Title can be booked for WWE FastLane PPV on March fifth, with Goldberg profitable the name after which protecting towards ”The Embarrassed Beast” Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33. Meltzer stated that it’s certainly the plan.

Meltzer had first reported in last week’s issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that neither ”The Phenomenal” A.J. Styles or Kevin Owens have been scheduled to go into ”The Grandest Stage of them All” WrestleMania as champion.

Bill Goldberg does no longer paintings WWE area presentations, so if he have been to defeat Owens at WWE FastLane PPV as in step with the plans, that might imply that the WWE Universal Title would no longer be defended at RAW area presentations between FastLane and WrestleMania.

It is undoubtedly that time of the year when all the speculations about The Undertaker’s opponent flames up. This is not a surprise as The Undertaker is one of the hottest property when it comes to Wrestlemania every year. This year after being rumored to face John Cena, AJ Styles, Roman Reigns and even Braun Strowman, the latest to join the LIST is SAMOA JOE.

Something out of the box but The Inquisitor reports that

WWE could be setting up Samoa Joe to face The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 33 in Orlando. The possibility is exciting and intriguing, especially because it’s a match that a lot of WWE fans never thought they’d see. Not only that, but it’s a matchup many fans haven’t thought about before. If WWE officials are planning Samoa Joe vs. Undertaker, it would be something career defining for both wrestlers.

Now Samoa Joe is one of the hottest property in NXT and is most credible heel in the whole WWE which ultimately puts him to face someone who is legendary like The Undertaker, keeping in mind Joe’s past record in indy circuits and TNA.

As far as The Undertaker is concerned it could be the last time we see him at Wrestlemania, and The Phenom must be looking forward to face someone who is seen as a legit wrestler for the future of WWE. The company will pay extra attention to not lack in rigour when they frame Undertaker’s match this year. We need to wait and watch how the cipher is going to be.
