Nobody can deny the impact of Bill Goldberg's WWE return. Whether you agree with his Survivor Series squash of Brock Lesnar or not, the former WCW Champion has unquestionably been one of wrestling's biggest talking points over the past few months. He enters 2017 at the heart of WWE's hottest feud, and after a 12 year sabbatical from the sport, Goldberg is as relevant as he's ever been.

This week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter has provided some fresh details on Goldberg's new WWE contract. The deal reportedly includes appearances on three pay-per-view events: the Royal Rumble, Fastlane on March 5th, and WrestleMania 33 in Orlando, where he'll likely wrestle Lesnar again.

In addition, Goldberg is expected to make regular appearances on WWE television throughout the build for all three PPVs. Goldberg has made Raw his home since returning, and after mixing it up with Roman Reigns, Jeri-KO, and Braun Strowman on this week's show, we can expect more of the same over the coming weeks.

Goldberg was the first name to be announced for this year's Royal Rumble match, but Lesnar soon followed suit. The duo will likely be the primary focus in San Antonio, and with WrestleMania's main event still up for grabs, their final battle could come in the biggest spotlight of them all.
