As announced on the Oct. 10 edition of Raw, Goldberg is set to return to the flagship show for the first time in a dozen years this coming Monday night. He will be addressing Paul Heyman's challenge to fight his advocate Brock Lesnar.
This came after it had been heavily rumored (h/t Dave Meltzer of Figure Four Online) for well over a week that internal plans called for Goldberg and Lesnar to rekindle their rivalry at Survivor Series next month. Heyman throwing down the gauntlet this week and Goldberg's upcoming appearance virtually confirm that will be the case.
Goldberg was last seen in a WWE ring at WrestleMania XX in a match also against Lesnar that was memorable for all the wrong reasons. The Madison Square Garden crowd knew both behemoths were on their way out of the organization, so they rejected the match by booing both competitors relentlessly.
Not happy with the backstage politics (h/t Wrestling Inc), he opted not to renew his contract with the company and left following The Show of Shows in 2004. It wasn't until he struck a deal with 2K Sports to serve as the cover athlete for WWE 2K17 that the door was opened for a potential comeback.
Now that his speculated match with Lesnar looks to be a lock, WWE must do all they can to fully maximize the former WCW World Heavyweight champion for as long as they have him in an on-air role.
