Big Name Floating Around Internally In WWE

Could we see a big name at Backlash this weekend?

Back in October, WWE was in Atlanta for the Bad Blood event. During the show, we saw somewhat of a confrontation between the then World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and WWE Hall Of Famer Bill Goldberg. Not long after, Goldberg announced he is set to have one final match in WWE, and most assumed that would be with Gunther.

According to WrestleVotes, they have noted how Goldberg’s name has been floating around internally within WWE this week. This would be the first time since Bad Blood seven or so months ago. It was noted that it feels like the inevitable return for Goldberg is nearing. All signs are also pointing at Gunther being his final opponent.

According to multiple sources, Goldberg’s name has been floated internally within WWE over the past week — the first time since his Bad Blood appearance and his interactions with Gunther. Feels like the inevitable return is nearing.

This weekend, Gunther will be in action at WWE Backlash when he takes on Pat McAfee. Fans have speculated over the last week or so that maybe Goldberg could assist McAfee in defeating Gunther, setting up Goldberg’s eventual retirement match with Gunther. Whether that is the route this is all going or not is still to be seen.

If we do hear anything further on Goldberg being talked about internally, we will have it here and on the PWUnlimited YouTube Channel.
