Backstage News On Fastlane Plans For Goldberg, Why Vince McMahon Was Using Crutches

Goldberg made his return to WWE in the fall of 2016, and he went on to squash Goldberg at the Survivor Series pay-per-view. Goldberg is back in a big way, and he’s set to compete in the 30 man Royal Rumble match on January 29th. Goldberg is expected to work a WrestleMania match with Brock Lesnar, but before he gets to Mania he’ll be appearing at the Fastlane pay-per-view in March.

The BMO Bradley Harris Center is currently advertising Goldberg for the Fastlane pay-per-view, and it sounds like Goldberg will be doing more than just making a quick appearance.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that plans currently call for Goldberg to work a main event match at Fastlane. No word on who Goldberg might end up facing, but as of this writing Brock Lesnar is not being advertised for the event.

It was recently announced that WWE will be returning to New Orleans for WrestleMania 34, and the company held a big press conference at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to officially announce the event.

Vince McMahon suffered a quad injury a few months ago and it was assumed that the crutches had something to do with that, but the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that that’s not the case. Apparently Vince McMahon had minor hip surgery similar to The Undertaker which is why he was using crutches at the event.
