WWE Hall Of Famer Goldberg made his return to WWE in 2016 after a hiatus of more than a decade from the company. He would go on to defeat Brock Lesnar in a squash match at Survivor 2016 and then win the Universal Championship against Kevin Owens in 2017. He defended his title against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 in one of the main events of the show. As stated by his contract, Vince McMahon can only have him compete in one more match this year, so it has to mean something. Goldberg also admitted to mocking Ric Flair for being too old to be in the ring in the past. He is also expected to appear on this year’s WWE SummerSlam. Goldberg also sent a bold message to a female WWE Superstar a couple of months ago.
Goldberg finally made his return to WWE television as he appeared on a previous episode of Monday Night RAW after Bobby Lashley successfully defended his WWE Championship against a returning Keith Lee. Afterwards, Goldberg appeared and challenged Bobby Lashley for a WWE Championship match by declaring that he is next.
According to a report from Bodyslam.net, WWE is concerned that the SummerSlam pay-per-view will not take place as planned due to an increase in COVID-19 cases in the USA.
The internal expectation within WWE is “that they will have to return to the Performance Center or another venue for their ThunderDome gimmick within a couple of weeks.” The current internal feeling is that “SummerSlam can/will be cancelled.” To add to this, the thought is that “the company fully expects that they will not be on the road in four weeks time.” We will keep you updated on this ongoing story.
