Goldberg’s appearance on the RAW Legends Night episode of RAW was not announced in advance by WWE. The WCW icon appeared after Drew McIntyre’s victory over Keith Lee and challenged the WWE Champion to a match at the Royal Rumble.

The segment ended with Drew McIntyre telling Goldberg that fighting him would be like fighting his own father. The two men then laughed at each other before Goldberg pushed his Royal Rumble opponent to the mat.
