Last week on WWE SmackDown, we saw Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman reunite to address The Tribal Chief's plans on the road to WrestleMania. Their celebration was interrupted by Goldberg, who made a surprise return on the blue brand.
He wasted no time in letting everyone know that he is prepared to go after Reigns' Universal Championship. He challenged the champion for a title match at Elimination Chamber scheduled to take place later this month.
Goldberg recently appeared on WWE's The Bump and discussed his plans for Roman Reigns moving forward. He admitted there's a looming threat from Heyman and The Usos who could prove to be an important factor in their match as they have been in the entirety of Reigns' historic title reign.
However, the Hall of Famer is still adamant about only focusing on the champion moving forward. Here's what he had to say:
"Well, let's just say that I could care less about anything other than Roman Reigns. He had a target on his face right now and I'm looking straight to that. Everything else is a distraction. I have to take care of Roman. I am not worried about Heyman whatsoever or the Usos. Obviously it could be a factor in the match. My eye and my focus are completely on Roman now. So I'm not thinking about anything other than him."
I haven’t been waiting for anything.
This world runs on island time.
Top of the mountain.
Head of the Table.
And reality check to any one who thinks they’ll take the #UniversalTitle from me.
Including you, Bill.

Goldberg and Roman Reigns were initially scheduled to face each other for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36. However, that match didn't take place as Reigns decided to take time off and returned a few months later to kickstart an unforgettable run as a top heel.
Their clash had been in the making for more than two years and they will finally compete for gold at Elimination Chamber 2022.
Another huge title match scheduled for the show will witness Bobby Lashley defending his WWE Championship against five other opponents inside the Elimination Chamber. One of his opponents is Brock Lesnar who lost his title to The All Mighty at Royal Rumble due to Roman Reigns' interference.
Lesnar went on to win the Men's Royal Rumble match as the last entrant and confirmed that he will challenge Reigns for the title at WrestleMania this year. However, he wants it to be a champion vs. champion bout and thus, is determined to take back his title from Lashley at Elimination Chamber.
