Goldberg appeared the following week to address the comments made by Owens and promised that he would defeat Owens and be the WWE Universal Champion going into his WrestleMania 33 match with Lesnar. Owens then stopped short of explaining his attack on Jericho. He insulted Goldberg and stated that he would outsmart him at Fastlane. On the February 20 episode, Owens shifted his focus to Goldberg. The following week, however, Owens turned on Jericho during Jericho's "Festival of Friendship" for Owens, brutally attacking Jericho, who was taken to a medical facility. Owens was initially mad at the decision, but conceded, knowing that Jericho would have his back in the match. Jericho accepted the match on the behalf of Owens, and it was made official later that night. After Owens mocked Goldberg, Goldberg then challenged Owens for the Universal Championship at Fastlane. After eliminating Brock Lesnar from the Royal Rumble match but failing to win, Goldberg accepted Lesnar's challenge for a final match at WrestleMania 33 after interrupting Owens' and United States Champion Chris Jericho's promo.

Goldberg declared that he would win the Royal Rumble on January 29 and face the Universal Champion at WrestleMania 33.

On the January 2, 2017, episode of Raw, Goldberg was the first guest on The Kevin Owens Show, where he confronted WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
