Brock Lesnar Challenges Goldberg to WWE WrestleMania 33 Match

Brock Lesnar has officially challenged Goldberg to a bout at WrestleMania 33 in April.

WWE's official Twitter account provided video footage of manager Paul Heyman's announcement Monday:

The WWE Universe won't have to wait long, as WWE announced after the show that Goldberg will address the challenge during next week's episode of Raw. 

Goldberg eliminated Lesnar during Sunday's Royal Rumble after the Beast Incarnate had an impressive showing up to that point, with three eliminations after entering the match at No. 26.

The feud between the two legendary wrestlers began almost 13 years ago, when Goldberg defeated Lesnar at WrestleMania XX. After a long absence from the sport, Goldberg returned to the ring for a rematch at Survivor Series in November.

Despite the 12-year layoff, the veteran came through with an easy victory in shocking fashion:

After the 50-year-old ended Lesnar's run in the Royal Rumble, it shouldn't be a surprise to see the rivalry continue on the road to WrestleMania 33. Now WWE must find a way to properly build up the hype for this megamatch over the next two months. 

Although Lesnar split some time with UFC over the past year, Forbes listed him as the second-highest-paid wrestler in WWE, behind only John Cena, with $6 million in earnings.
