Goldberg Return at WWE Backlash? Shocking New Rumor Has Fans Buzzing!

by

WWE’s Backlash event is coming up soon, and while TopMob has its predictions for the night’s champions, an unexpected rumor has emerged. There’s a strong possibility of a prominent superstar making a comeback, and I have a feeling it will happen during the WWE’s PLE event in St. Louis.

Known for being well-informed about what’s going on behind the scenes in WWE, WrestleVotes often shares information that can’t be seen live even with a Peacock subscription. There are rumors suggesting that Goldberg might make a comeback soon, which could mean a significant return to the limelight after a long absence.

Goldberg’s Name Is Being Mentioned In The WWE

In our recent encounter with Goldberg in the WWE, he was belittled by Gunther during a casual viewing, sparking speculation that Gunther might be positioned as Goldberg’s adversary for his farewell bout, an anticipation met with varying responses. At the time, Gunther held the Heavyweight Championship, leading me to apprehend a potential showdown between them at WrestleMania 41. However, when the event passed without their match, I wondered if Goldberg was indeed preparing for his retirement bout.

Currently, it appears that the rumors about the superstar have been circulating within the organization over the past week. As we’re just a week away from Backlash, there’s a strong possibility that he might make an appearance.

Will Goldberg Return To Aid Pat McAfee In His Upcoming Fight?

In simpler terms, Pat McAfee has been known for his talkative nature even before joining the WWE commentary team. Now, he’s facing the consequences at the Backlash event, as Gunther is set to give him a tough time. While McAfee has held his own in previous WWE matches, going up against a champion like Gunther presents a unique challenge that some might consider risky or even reckless.

In the fictitious context of this fight, it appears as though he’s risking his very existence, given that the WWE has been openly discussing its scripted nature more recently.

Given that the WWE has been open about being a scripted show lately, in the imaginary scenario of this matchup, it seems like he’s putting his life on the line.

With the WWE now openly discussing its scripted nature, in the make-believe world of this contest, it appears that he’s putting everything on the line.

One possible strategy for Pat to secure a victory might be if he has some support, and introducing someone like Goldberg could temporarily distract Gunther, giving the WWE commentator enough time to defeat his opponent. Given the unresolved issues between Gunther and Goldberg last year, it seems quite plausible that Goldberg would make an appearance at Backlash, particularly since fans are already speculating about him in the week leading up to the event.

It seems fitting for Gunther to be the one to retire Goldberg, don’t you think? In professional wrestling, it’s not common for wrestlers to depart with a victory, so I believe it wouldn’t hurt if Gunther, who’s on his way to becoming a top star, takes on the role of Legend Killer and strengthens his villainous character. However, the WWE might have other plans and prefer to give Goldberg a more grandiose farewell instead. We can only speculate and watch as events unfold.

Goldberg might show up at Backlash, but we’ll only know for sure on May 10th during the live broadcast on Peacock. I have a positive hunch that he’ll make an appearance, but there’s also a chance they’re keeping him until after his feud with McAfee concludes.
