As noted, Goldberg has reportedly been in talks with WWE for a return to the company and Jim Ross stated that Goldberg will be facing Brock Lesnar at The Survivor Series on November 20th. Paul Heyman issued a warning for Goldberg on Twitter:
There’s a lot of speculation on the alleged Alberto Del Rio stabbing incident over the weekend in San Antonio, Texas. As noted via MLW Radio, Del Rio was stabbed several times by a man on Saturday after the man hit Del Rio’s car with his own car by accident. The two drivers exited their vehicles and had words, leading to the man pulling a knife. Del Rio reportedly turned to leave, as he had to catch a flight to Mexico for Sunday’s AAA show that he missed, but the man slashed him from behind. They ended up on the ground and Del Rio got the knife away from the man but he fled in his vehicle. Reports from Del Rio and MLW Radio were that witnesses saw the attack and got the man’s license plate, police were called and a report was filed.
According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio and Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet, the San Antonio Police have no record of the alleged attack involving a high-profile celebrity. Meltzer says the local police aren’t saying the incident did not happen but they apparently don’t know about it.
Another interesting twist to the story is Del Rio’s girlfriend Paige. The report from MLW Radio did not mention the injured WWE Superstar being there but one account Del Rio gave Mexican media did. Meltzer was also relayed a story that mentioned Paige being there. Word is that while Del Rio and the man went to the ground with the man still stabbing Del Rio, she got involved and was thrown by the suspect. Del Rio went to check on her and that is when the man got away in his own car.
Paige being there also raises suspicion on Del Rio’s claim that he could not contact AAA until Monday morning because he lost his phone during the incident as Paige was with him and would have had a phone to use to at least start the process of notifying AAA.
Bill Goldberg’s ESPN SportsCenter interview with Jonathan Coachman came with no announcement on his WWE return last night. Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter insists the Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar match is still scheduled for the Survivor Series pay-per-view on November 20th, unless plans have fallen apart. As of Tuesday, the match was considered to be confirmed and locked in. As noted, WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross also reported this week that his reliable source relayed the same information.
The story is that Vince McMahon has had the match scheduled but has not been very gung-ho about doing it. It was also noted that while WWE is ready to use Goldberg once again, there are still a lot of negative feelings and politics regarding him.
There are several reasons for doing the match at Survivor Series. WWE wants to do the match to help promote the WWE 2K17 video game and Survivor Series is the best option for that plan. Also, future opponents for Lesnar are said to be locked in and apparently one of those opponents is Shane McMahon, perhaps for WrestleMania 33. WWE officials were not willing to change Lesnar’s WrestleMania plans for Goldberg.
Regarding the Lesnar vs. Goldberg match, this is reportedly a one-off that is not leading to any kind of future rematch between the two.

It’s been over six months since an injury forced Luke Harper to sit on the sidelines, but last night the bearded big man officially made his return to the ring.
Harper wrestled at a WWE live event in Santiago Wednesday night, teaming up with Kevin Owens to take on Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn.
As we previously reported, Harper was cleared to return to the ring last month.
Luke and KO eventually lost the match, but Harper clearly won the affections of the WWE Universe during his entrance — as seen in the below video filmed by a fan in attendance.

After months of trying, Brie Bella and SmackDown Live GM Daniel Bryan have finally announced that they’ve got a baby on the way.
Brie told E! News, “It has always been a dream of mine to become a mother. Now that it is finally real, it fills me up with so much happiness. I can’t wait to see my husband, Bryan, be a father to our child. I am so excited for this new chapter in our lives.”
As Pro Wrestling Sheet previously reported, Brie retired at WrestleMania 32 this year partly because she wanted to try starting a family — and now that dream has officially become a reality.

As noted, Alberto El Patron (Alberto Del Rio) missed Sunday night’s AAA Heroes Inmortales X event in Mexico City and later revealed that he was attacked by a “criminal” outside of a restaurant, revealing stab wounds in an Instagram post. You can see the graphic photos below. AAA put out a statement on Sunday, saying the former WWE Champion had failed the Mexican public.
According to MLW Radio, AAA was unable to communicate with Del Rio as he lost his phone after the attack in San Antonio. Del Rio made contact on Monday morning, then the company apologized and are backing him now. Their relationship is still in good standing. Del Rio actually wanted to try and make the show by chartering a flight but was talked out of it as he was still hospitalized.
The incident happened in San Antonio, Texas before Del Rio was to fly out for the AAA event on Saturday night. A confrontation took place when the driver of a car hit Del Rio’s car. The driver and Del Rio both exited their cars and had words. The driver pulled a knife and Del Rio went to walk away as he had to get to the airport but he was attacked from behind and slashed with the knife. Del Rio turned around and the man tried to slash his face but Del Rio was able to move to the side, still catching a slash to the side of his head.
Del Rio took the man down but while taking him down, the man continued to fight, slash and stab at Del Rio’s arm. He eventually got the knife from the man but the suspect got away in his car. There were witnesses and they did get his license plate but there’s no word yet on if he’s been arrested. Police came and a report was filed. Del Rio went to the hospital to get stitches as he lost a lot of blood but is he said to be alright.

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Jamie Noble suffered a collapsed lung after being stabbed last week … and the WWE producer posted brutal photos of his wounds.
Jamie Posted pictures on Facebook and Instagram of his wounds and comments on the stabbing incident that occurred outside his trailer park home in West Virginia.
Noble explained, “I was viciously attacked in my front yard. One coward got out of the car saying I pushed him off the road. I immediately apologize because I was on the road all week and just that night alone I got off work Tuesday night and drove from Cleveland to Princeton so I could have been tired and drifted over the yellow line.”
Jamie explained that he apologized again, but it wasn’t enough. The driver got out of his car and allegedly threw the first punch, but Noble says he took him to the ground during the second attempt. That’s when 2 more men got out of the car to attack the 39-year-old wrestler.
“In the middle of this madness one coward pulls a knife stabbing me once through the back middle near the spin. The blade went between my ribs and hit my lung.” Adding, “I still tried to fight back and then they tried to cut my throat. I was able to get them to miss the throat and rip my shoulder open.”
Luckily, Jamie’s girlfriend ran out of the house at that point and broke things up.
Noble wrote about his current condition as well, saying he was immediately put into surgery because one of his lungs was filling up with blood and the next 4 days were spent trying to get it working again. He adds, “Good news is I’m getting a little better everyday. And I will be back on my feet 100% soon.”
Jamie also wants info on his attackers … writing, “I need help from my FB family, I need you to share this with everyone you can. Somebody knows something, or heard something, saw something that can help me get these criminals because the law isn’t going to. Please ask, listen, anything that can help me just get one name. Just one. This could have been my 63 year old dad or my 16 year old boy … can you even imagine that???? I can’t. I’ll also pay $200 for a name and if it turns out legit I’ll give you another $500 cash. Please share this with every friend you have and me get a name.”
