As seen on this week’s episode of SmackDown, the NEW Universal Champion Goldberg opened the show in Boston.
Goldberg came to the ring and received quite a few boos from the audience in the arena. He took the mic and said that we shouldn’t be mistaken because it’s not about who’s last but who’s next.
The music hit and out came Roman Reigns. The Big Dog entered the ring and got in Goldberg’s face and the two men had a heated moment.
Then Reigns took the microphone in his hand and said two words – “I’m Next”.
