When Drew McIntyre and Goldberg faced off in the middle of the ring at the conclusion of RAW Legends Night, everyone in the SK Wrestling Chat wanted to write an article about the segment.

The fact of the matter is that whether you like Goldberg or hate him, everyone has an opinion on the WCW icon, and hence, his presence demands your attention. Drew McIntyre vs. AJ Styles was a great feud that culminated in a massive match, but the level of interest is significantly lower, as compared to Goldberg.

The SmackDown brand has been faring far better when it comes to viewership as opposed to RAW, and one has to believe that Goldberg is back to bring back the lapsed viewers who may have stopped watching the product.

Do not be surprised if Drew McIntyre loses the WWE Championship to Goldberg and then regains it at WrestleMania 37, in a return match.
