On Friday both Goldberg and Brock Lesnar appeared in the WWE 2k17 kickoff party in New York city, but haven’t seen face-to-face and there was no confrontation to speak of. However, it’s been rumoured that there was more to Goldberg showing up there.
There has been speculation that one of the reasons as to why Goldberg went to New York City, was to negotiate with the WWE. It’s been told, when the negotiations took place, Goldberg was asked who he would pick to have a match against and the instant reply from the former WWE and WCW Champion was Lesnar.
Moreover, In the WWE2k17 kickoff party, Lesnar was asked by Myles from #Trending 20 about what would happen if Bill Goldberg shows up at SummerSlam. Lesnar said that he would be charging Goldberg with Suplexes if he turns up in Brooklyn on Sunday.
Samoa Joe defended his NXT Championship last night against Shinsuke Nakamura at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn last night. He fought valiantly but was eventually defeated by the King of Strong Style following twoKinshasa’s.Following the match, as Nakamura was in the ring celebrating his historic win, we saw the referee on the outside throwing up the ‘X’ while standing next to Joe who was clutching his jaw.
The ‘X’ sign usually means a genuine injury so it is being rumoured now that one of Nakamura’s final Kinshasa’s could have been the move that did the damage. As TakeOver went off air, we could clearly see an enraged Samoa Joe being led out of the area by referees and medics.

Becky Lynch, Carmella, and Naomi will take on Alexa Bliss, Natalya, and a partner is yet to be named.
Nikki Bella arrived last night in NYC for tonight's SummerSlam event. Nikki has already been cleared to return to action.
