All 5 Times Goldberg returned to WWE (and what happened next)

#3 Goldberg returns to WWE and is revealed as Dolph Ziggler's opponent at SummerSlam 2019

Goldberg vs Ziggler

Goldberg returned to WWE on the road to SummerSlam 2019, and was revealed as Dolph Ziggler's opponent for the Biggest Party Of The Summer.

The Showoff had kicked off a feud with The Miz and WWE Hall of Famer, Shawn Michaels, and had signed a contract for a match at SummerSlam. He believed that the match was against The A-Lister, but was taken by surprise when the former WWE Champion revealed that he wasn't Ziggler's opponent.

Goldberg's music hit to a loud chorus of cheers, and the WWE legend came out to the ring. He signed the contract and declared that Ziggler's next.
