Dave Meltzer got it right: Goldberg is facing Dolph Ziggler at WWE SummerSlam 2019 this Sunday.

The match was made during last night's Raw. A special edition of Miz TV began with the host introducing Shawn Michaels and Ziggler, who ran 'HBK' and 'The A-Lister' down on the microphone. Miz, who was originally pegged to face Dolph at SummerSlam, clapped back at his long-term rival, then claimed 'The Show-Off' hadn't read the fine print on their bout contract.

Rather than facing Ziggler on pay-per-view, Miz revealed that he'd now meet him on the Raw after SummerSlam. Instead, Dolph will wrestle Goldberg.

The former WCW Champion came out to a decent pop. He signed the contract, told Ziggler "you're next!" (because of course he did), and revelled as Michaels blasted Dolph with a Sweet Chin Music on the ramp, gaining a measure of revenge for Ziggy's assault on him a few weeks prior.

An effective set-up that drew the desired crowd reaction and a solid return for Goldberg, whose last appearance was that disastrous match with The Undertaker at Super Show-Down. Here's hoping he fares better when him and Ziggler meet on Sunday.
