As talked about earlier, Goldberg returned to WWE RAW last week in order to confront the WWE Champion Drew McIntyre. The two men will be facing each other at Royal Rumble.

Goldberg's return on WWE RAW came as a big surprise to the fans and it has been speculated that the plan for Goldberg's comeback to put The Scottish Warrior over had been in place for a long time. However, Dave Meltzer of WON put an end to that speculation and revealed that this match was a last-minute decision by Vince McMahon.

The Goldberg thing, so Bill Goldberg vs Drew McIntyre is going to be the main event of the Royal Rumble. So this was decided on Saturday. So if you're wondering why Goldberg did all this buildup with Roman Reigns if he's going to wrestle Drew McIntyre and it's like, that is your answer. It wasn't a swerve.
