Top SmackDown Backstage Rumors: Sister Abigail plans; Goldberg return; Major twist in Bray Wyatt/Strowman story; Jeff Hardy's future (14th August)

#4 Is SmackDown Superstar Goldberg planning to return?

WWE legend Goldberg was last seen in action at WrestleMania 36 defending the Universal Championship against Braun Strowman. Goldberg had returned to SmackDown after a long hiatus and challenged The Fiend for the top prize at Super Show-Down.

The former WCW World Champion managed to beat SmackDown Superstar Bray Wyatt at the Saudi Show and was set to put over Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 36. However, SmackDown's Roman Reigns pulled out of WrestleMania at the last-minute and was replaced by Braun Strowman.

There have been some rumors that Goldberg may return to WWE again and is not retired yet. Here is what Goldberg told American Monster Productions:

“You want to leave at the top, right? You want to leave the biggest, baddest son of a bitch, period. But guess what? My thought process changed when I became a guy that’s 50 years old that can still do this shit. I used to talk about Ric Flair being over 40 and how goofy he was wrestling. Now I’m 53 right now and I just got done, that’s ridiculous. The fact is, the way I look at it now, there is me then and there is me now, and show me another 53 year old dude who can do it. Give me a month, the guys only give me three weeks every time anyway, give me an extra week, give me a month, I’ll show you what I can look like. Not many people can do that at 53 years old with a lot of things contributing to it, mainly injuries, especially what I’ve been through.”
