10 Last-Minute WWE SummerSlam 2016 Rumors You Need To Know
5. Goldberg Returns
Perhaps the most persistent rumor leading up to this year's SummerSlam is the idea that Goldberg might return and attack Brock Lesnar. While it still seems a little far-fetched, there's more meat to this rumor than there is to the Undertaker one.
The issue between Lesnar and Goldberg started when both were announced as focal points of the upcoming WWE 2K17 video game. Though people started to speculate this could lead to a rematch between the two (they infamously faced off in one of the most hated WrestleMania bouts ever), there was nothing concrete supporting that - until Lesnar and Heyman cut a promo on Goldberg. "Da Man" responded with one of his own, either building up the video game or something more.
What has really gotten people talking is the fact that Goldberg is a special guest at the WWE 2K party on Friday... which happens to take place in New York. That would make it pretty easy for the former World Heavyweight Champion to show up at SummerSlam and get face-to-face with "The Beast."
While it's certainly possible that WWE could take the first step in a real Goldberg-Lesnar rivalry on Sunday, there's still a lot standing in the way - like the question of whether Goldberg really is the best WrestleMania opponent for Brock. File this one under "I'll believe it when I see it."
