SmackDown Results: Goldberg returns; Ronda Rousey makes WrestleMania decision
Paul Heyman was out on SmackDown after Royal Rumble with Roman Reigns and The Usos and said that none of what happened before with Brock Lesnar and Roman was planned.
He said that he genuinely made a mistake by not trusting in The Tribal Chief's abilities before and that he deserved the attack from Reigns.
Together again...

Heyman said that he had no choice but to help Brock enter the Title match scene after Roman had to take a break due to catching COVID-19. He added that right before the WWE Title match at Rumble, Reigns offered him his position back, and in return, he would have to betray Brock Lesnar. Paul took the offer and once again he was on Roman's side.
"@BrockLesnar looks like a SCHMUCK, and now he acts like a SCHMUCK!"

After Heyman was done with his explanation, Goldberg's music hit and he came into the ring to say that he acknowledged Roman Reigns...as his next victim!
Goldberg challenged Roman to a Title match at Elimination Chamber before SmackDown continued.
“I acknowledge you as my next victim!” @Goldberg #SmackDown

Holland had the early advantage and sent Ricochet into the corner after hitting a big bodyslam. Holland was outside the ring and countered a baseball slide from the former US Champion before sending him into the apron.
Outside the ring, Sheamus and Cesaro got into an argument and the distraction helped Ricochet to pick up a quick win inside the ring.
Result: Ricochet def. Ridge Holland
What a win for @KingRicochet!
