I recently listened to a big of Y2J's podcast that featured Ellsworth and at one point Chris said the following:
"It was around early November, Vince says to me "Hey we're doing you and Kevin at Wrestlemania for the world championship and you are going over. And then you'll lose to Brock Lesnar at the next PPV". I though that's great, I have never won the world championship at Wrestlemania and I have never won a world championship as a face, so it was awesome for me. Then Survivor Series happens and Goldberg beats Brock in a minute. So apparently the deal was, Brock was willing to do the job for Goldberg, if he and Bill could run with this and reach Wrestlemania, where Brock could beat Goldberg for the title. So Vince had to make a desicion, what's the biggest attraction? So they went with Lesnar vs Goldberg and Chris and Kevin had to take a backseat. It's bussiness."
So there you have it. Owens and Jericho were supposed to get the Universal Championship match, while Lesnar would have been doing something else (probably Shane). What's most intriguing about this is the rumored Lesnar vs Jericho thing that never happened.
Looking back at it now, I wish it could have been Owens v Y2J for the Universal Championship and Goldberg v Lesnar in a non-title match.
