Randy Orton won the 2017 Royal Rumble match, and will challenge Smackdown's WWE Championship at WrestleMania 33.
On RAW, 20th Jan, 2017, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman appeared and challenged Goldberg to one final match at WrestleMania 33. Later that night, it was announced that Goldberg would be appearing the following week on RAW to answer Lesnar's challenge.
Goldberg took to Twitter after the segment on RAW of Lesnar and Heyman challenging Goldberg to amatch at Wreslemania 33 and announced that he will be on next week’s Raw from Portland, Oregon to respond. He wrote on Twitlonger:
— Bill Goldberg (@Goldberg) January 31, 2017I'll be at @WWE #RAW NEXT MONDAY! @BrockLesnar @HeymanHustle want an answer to the #Wrestlemania … https://t.co/rAeyUIPW2C
WWE also made a tweet on the subject:

Possible Wretlemania spoilers:
Former WWE writer Brian Maxwell Mann tweeted the following about WWE’s creative direction heading into WrestleMania. There’s been some buzz going around that John Cena’s WrestleMania opponent has been decided and fans won’t be too excited about the matchup. Mann has apparently learned who Cena will be facing and agrees it’s not a good match on paper.

— Brian Maxwell Mann (@BrianMaxMann) January 30, 2017if you're less then excited for Orton/Bray & Roman/Taker – wait until you see what Cena's doing
When asked if AJ Styles would be facing Shane McMahon, Mann replied:
— Brian Maxwell Mann (@BrianMaxMann) January 30, 2017yes because Vince cares more about Shane's ego than creating new fans. https://t.co/cmMjDJTRcx
In response to a rumor of Goldberg capturing the Universal Championship from Kevin Owens and defending it against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania, Mann thinks the title stipulation does nothing to enhance the match.

Could be major changes to Wrestlemania proposed match due to Seth Rollins being injured.
WWE announced this morning that Seth Rollins was injured during the show closing segment on Monday Night Raw where he was attacked by Samoa Joe.
WWE's story on their official website is that Rollins has reinjured his knee that was torn in November 2015 in Ireland against Kane. In 2015, Rollins suffered injuries to his right ACL/MCL/medial meniscus that required surgery. The injury forced him to miss Wrestlemania 32 last year.
Rollins is currently down in Birmingham, Alabama being examined, so the injury is legitimate. The severity of it cannot be confirmed at this time.
If Rollins is hurt to the point he cannot compete at Wrestlemania, there will obviously be a major change in plans for Triple H.
Sounds like a decent card. Taker vs Reigns was unexpected, Rollins vs HHH can be a show stealer if Rollins is fit. Owens vs Jericho is a great match-up, and everything involving Orton, Cena and AJ Styles hsould be solid.
Although I prefered Taker vs Cena, Samoa Joe vs Lesnar, WM33 could be worse.
Shaq vs Show is maybe a big waste in whatever sense you may think of, except cross over media

If Rollins can not compete at Wrestlemania 33 against Triple H, then ...
