It was obvious as soon as Goldberg returned on Raw last month that wrestling fans have missed the WCW icon. He received a warm welcome when he initially returned, and it was clear that the Toronto crowd was fully behind Goldberg at Survivor Series.
Goldberg’s been away from the ring for a long time, but there’s no denying that he has star power. His decisive victory over Brock Lesnar seems to indicate that WWE is interested in working with him again, and it looks like that’s the case.
Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that Goldberg recently signed a deal to appear in the 2017 Royal Rumble match. That’s why Goldberg was booked to look so dominant at the Survivor Series pay-per-view.
The Royal Rumble is set to be held at the Alamodome in San Antonio TX, on January 29, 2017.
