10 DUMB WWE Returns (We Didn't Want To Admit Were GENIUS!)
3. Goldberg (2024)
Admittedly, there's time for all of this to go pear-shaped yet, but recent news suggests Bill Goldberg won't be there for WWE's Crown Jewel 2024 PLE (which might've happened by the time you read this). That means he'll keep his nose out of GUNTHER's already-unwanted Crown Jewel Championship match vs. Cody Rhodes; well, the title is unwanted, not that particular combo.
Triple H does seem intrigued by the thought of putting Goldberg in the ring with GUNTHER at some stage though. He wouldn't have slapped a green light on their confrontation at Bad Blood otherwise. Social media blew up overnight with the usual discourse about Goldberg stealing the spotlight and fans saying there's no room for him in 2024.
Newsflash, there is.
Goldberg's clip pulled massive numbers on YouTube and socials for WWE's various accounts. That speaks to the value he still has as a performer. Yes, even in the year of our lord 2024. X and hate microcosm platforms like that might not want to admit it, but a lot of people still want to see big Bill spear fools and hit the odd Jackhammer.
Social and YouTube numbers matter to WWE, so it was genius to feature him recently.
