VIDEO: Goldberg returns to WWE TV in new 2K17 spot

There’s nothing like a new 2K trailer on Raw to get the blood pumping, is there? 

On an otherwise lackluster episode of the flagship show Memorial Day evening, the eyes had to widen a bit when 2K aired a spot for the upcoming WWE 2K17 video game featuring none other than Bill Goldberg.

Video game chatter aside, this is notable for a few reasons. One is that Goldberg is going to be in a WWE video game for the first time since WWE 2K14, and was on their airwaves in a new capacity for the first time in over a decade. Two is that in recent memory, two past stars that did similar spots — Ultimate Warrior and Sting — later found their way in the McMahon fold in memorable ways.

As noted on last night’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Brock Lesnar was a character in 2K12 which opened up talks for him to eventually return to WWE.

At 49 years old and with a long list of projects, the prospect of Goldberg returning to the ring for a regular schedule is obviously slim to none. But after years of saying there was no interest in going back, perhaps there’s a chance of at least one more match on a major event? 

Dave & Bryan will have more on this tonight on Wrestling Observer Radio.
