During Bill Goldberg’s appearance on ESPN SportsCenter on Wednesday night, the former WWE Superstar expressed a willingness to return to WWE and named Brock Lesnar as the dream opponent who could draw him out of retirement. Although he stopped short of announcing an official return, the Wrestling Observer maintains that Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar is the plan for Survivor Series as recently as Tuesday.

If you’re wondering why WWE doesn’t hold off until WrestleMania for the match to take place, the idea is to use the hype surrounding this blockbuster bout and cross promote WWE 2K17. According to Meltzer, the match will be a one-off and is not leading to a longterm feud.

Another reason WWE is going right into Lesnar vs. Goldberg match is because WWE already has Lesnar’s next several opponents mapped out. While things could change between now and WrestleMania, the current plan is for Lesnar to face WWE RAW commissioner Shane McMahon at WrestleMania. WWE already laid the groundwork for that encounter at SummerSlam, when Lesnar laid out Shane following the beatdown he served to Randy Orton.

While WWE is open to using Goldberg again, the relationship has still not completely “thawed out” and Goldberg admitted on SportsCenter that he hasn’t spoken to Vince McMahon directly since WrestleMania 20.
