The brand split was indeed the major talking point in the rumor mill this past week.

Along with this, the apparent relationship with UFC and WWE kicked off a string of rumors that could make the WWE fans drool. There were some talks about the returns and the status of Goldberg as well and here is a rundown on them.

#1 Status of Goldberg

The recent appearance of Goldberg for the WWE 2K17 has sparked off a lot of rumors about a probably in-ring return from the former WCW Champion. However, the relationship between Goldberg and WWE is still pretty much shaky and they are yet to start talks regarding a potential match. Despite this, the talks could be started anytime soon and if it does, Brock Lesnar is the likely opponent for Goldberg

WWE teased the same by having a Suplex City sign in the video of WWE 2K17 and also, Goldberg acknowledged the same. This was done to hype the potential match and thus give Goldberg a leverage when he will be sitting for negotiations.
