Ranking 20 WWE Debuts And Returns In 2019

16. Goldberg

Had this list been done on July 1, Goldberg might have easily earned the last spot on the chart.

After losing to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 in 2017 and being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame the following year, it looked like Goldberg’s in-ring career was finished. But then Saudi Arabia came calling (as it often does), and well, money talks.

So Goldberg was back in the ring again, this time squaring off in what would have been a dream match a decade or two ago, against the Undertaker. Considering both men are north of 50, we shouldn’t have expected much, but when you factored in the blistering heat and Goldberg knocking himself loopy moments into the match, you had a trainwreck on your hands.

The match was an utter embarrassment, probably the worst match either man had had in years. It was openly mocked by everyone, but it took Dolph Ziggler poking fun constantly to turn it into an angle, leading to Goldberg demolishing Dolph in less than 2 minutes at SummerSlam, redeeming the former WCW Champion’s 2019 somewhat.
