WWE Fastlane 2017: Bill Goldberg Finishes Kevin Owens In 22 Seconds To Win Title

Bill Goldberg ended the WWE Fastlane pay-per-view event in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Sunday night by pinning Kevin Owens in 22 seconds to become the third WWE universal champion.

The event proved disappointing for many wrestling fans.

The 50-year-old Goldberg’s comeback has gained significant attention. He will next face Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, Florida on April 2.

The win also increased Goldberg’s in-ring time to a combined 5:07 in three matches, including his first return at Survivor Series against Lesnar and second appearance at Royal Rumble.

Other Fastlane highlights included Neville’s amazing cruiserweight title defense against Jack Gallagher and Samoa Joe’s destruction of Sami Zayn. 

Fans were left hoping for more just weeks away from WrestleMania, however.
