WWE Rumor Roundup: Huge update on Sasha Banks' future, former Divas champion set to make TV return and more – 28th September 2019 

Brock Lesnar to become the next Goldberg

Brock Lesnar and Goldberg

Paul Heyman is now in charge of Monday Night RAW and the show has slowly and steadily picked up. The advocate of Brock Lesnar is now planning on making the show even better and has picked the next Superstar to play the Goldberg role.

The ‘Goldberg role’ is when a Superstar makes a return just to destroy someone. Heyman has now picked his client, Lesnar, to play that role. He reportedly feels that the former WCW star is too old for the show now.

WON reported:

Heyman wants Goldberg as an occasional character who comes in and destroys people, as the old legend, somewhat reminiscent of the role Bruno Sammartino played when Bob Backlund was champion. Long-term the idea would be Goldberg in that role for several more years, and eventually that role would go to Lesnar

Lesnar is now set to face Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship on the Friday Night SmackDown premiere on the FOX Network.
