Bill Goldberg will make his return to WWE RAW next Monday night in Denver. It will be the first time in 12 years that Goldberg has appeared in the WWE.
Last night Paul Heyman issued a challenge to Goldberg to fight Brock Lesnar at anytime and anyplace.
Goldberg responded to Heyman’s challenge with the following post on Twitter:

WWE is doing marketing research regarding adding a possible tier-based system for the WWE Network. It’s not a for sure thing at this time, but WWE is very strongly looking into a four-tiered pricing based system where there would be free access to the network at last, but with a catch.
The free tier would include video clips (5 minutes or less),the video archive, and you can only watch up to 5 hours per month. It would also include commercials and would be available on all devices. The free tier also includes the live stream but they would black out the pay-per-views, NXT and the Cruiserweight Classic, though.
The very first paid tier would be $4.99/month, you’d be getting the “Big Four” PPV events (So stuff like the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series). NXT wouldn’t be available on the live stream but you would have access to NXT on-demand thankfully. You would also get limited commercials and would only be available on phones and tablets.
The $9.99 tier would be the same content that they already do right now, but it would have limited commercials and it would be available on every device. Along with that you’ll get weekly episodes of the Cruiserweight Classic as well. It looks like the CWC will be returning but not as a tournament on a yearly basis.
The final $14.99 tier would include footage of other promotions, and there would be zero commercials. Any fan would also get perks like early ticket access to events, offline content downloads, small group online chat, 2nd screen content and invites to in-person VIP meet-ups. WWE specifically mentions TNA and ROH as possible promotions that you’d be able to see in the $14.99 tier. This price tier includes everything from the other tiers plus the perks and content from independent promotions.

A GoFundMe page has been set up in support of former WWE Superstar Rico Constantino … and the fund has grown considerably today thanks to a sizable contribution from Chris Jericho.
Jericho — using his real name — donated $3,000 to the fund, which was established to help Constantino pay for medical expenses, as he’s recently been dealing with serious health problems.
According to the GoFundMe’s description, Rico has visited the doctor five times and was forced to stay twice. It also says he has two leaky heart valves, two blood clots, and traumatic brain issues — which they claim is due to his time in the ring.
Constantino is hoping to raise $10,000 in total. At present he has raised $5,696.

It was confirmed at WWE No Mercy tonight that SmackDown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch is unable to compete. Shane McMahon mentioned that a non-physical health issue is keeping her out of the ring. Daniel Bryan announced that Alexa Bliss will get her title shot against Becky at the November 8th SmackDown from Glasgow, Scotland, so it sounds like Becky is expected to be out for a month.

Tyson Kidd noted on social media this week that he is still not able to feel or move his head like he used to but he is still focused on his recovery. Kidd was injured during a dark match with Samoa Joe on 6/1/15 and has not wrestled since then. He ended up getting C1-C2 spinal fusion surgery.

The injury was actually a lot worse than the public knew and doctors told him that he could have been killed and there was 95 percent chance of death. If he lived then he should have been paralyzed. In a sense, he’s incredibly lucky to be alive and not be paralyzed but his in-ring career is essentially over.
It’s still not known exactly what went wrong but Joe has done the muscle buster hundreds (maybe thousands) of times and, to my knowledge, never hurt anyone. Bret Hart did interviews saying that Kidd and Joe were rushed out to do a quick match without being able to warm up. Cesaro did an interview last month and flat out said that there are a couple of moves that should be outlawed in WWE and one of those moves is Joe’s muscle buster.
