It was Roman Reigns and Goldberg kicking off WWE Elimination Chamber for the Universal Championship, and after the introductions were made both stars circled each other for a bit before the Goldberg chants started. Then finally locked up and got into a tug of war, with Goldberg pushing Reigns back until Reigns got some knees in, overpowering Goldberg and pushing him to the outside. Then Reigns slammed Goldberg’s face against the announce table twice but Goldberg rebounded and threw Reigns into the barricade.
