Brock Lesnar vs Goldberg at Survivor Series 2016 was a historic fight. That night, the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion stepped foot in a WWE ring after 12 long years. Goldberg’s first match upon return happened against Lesnar who rarely loses his matches in WWE. However, Survivor Series shocked the world when Goldberg squashed Lesnar in the middle of the ring in less than 90 seconds.

It was one of the most unexpected moments of the night. The original plan was for Goldberg to lose his match against Lesnar and disappear from the company again.

However, this obviously didn't happen. Dave Meltzer believes that Lesnar requested WWE to lose against Goldberg. Because he believed this rivalry to be profitable for him and the company. Fortunately, Lesnar and Vince McMahon agreed with that option. Later, Goldberg got into a rivalry with Kevin Owens and won the Universal Championship, which he then lost to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33.
