Goldberg Blames Raw Opening On Ring Rust, Rusev Reacts, What Happened After Raw

Goldberg kicked off Raw this week when he came down to the ring to cut a promo, but Goldberg was interrupted by Paul Heyman and then Rusev. After they made their way into the ring, Rusev was met with a Jackhammer from Goldberg, and he followed up with a spear to Paul Heyman. It was fun to see him hit the moves, but it’s been 12 years since Goldberg wrestled his last match, and he looked a little rusty in the ring, which he acknowledged on Twitter.

Rusev gave Goldberg props for his Jackhammer, but noted that he can still crush him, he posted the following:

Kevin Owens tried to take Seth Rollins down with a Pop-Up Powerbomb, but Rollins turned it into a Pedigree to send the crowd home happy.
