Goldberg Calls Out Brock Lesnar (Video)

Former WWE and WCW World Heavyweight Champion Bill Goldberg was at Gamescom 2016 today in Cologne, Germany. You can check out his Q&A in the video above, below are some highlights:

Goldberg said that he should be on the cover because he “killed the guy [Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XX] that’s on the cover.”

The fans chanted “please come back,” and Goldberg said that for them, he’ll see what he can do.

Goldberg added that he’s headed to New York City, and “that’s all [he] can say about that.” He said that you can never say never, and even at his age he has no issue putting his gear on and “ripping people’s faces off again.” He said he just needs the opportunity to do it. He told the fans to keep doing what they’re doing and it will happen.

Goldberg said he’ll do everything in his power to give the fans what he wants. He said he may be 49 years old, but he’s ready to go at any time anywhere, and all he needs is the call.

Goldberg was asked point blank when he’ll be back in WWE. Goldberg said that he honestly has no idea and doesn’t know if it will ever happen. He said every time there’s a WrestleMania or SummerSlam and people are expecting him, from the bottom of his heart, it’s not up to him. He said not to take it out on him because it’s not up to him.

He was asked about Brock Lesnar. Goldberg said that Brock knows how he feels about him. He noted that they’ve been in the ring and while they didn’t have the best match, Brock knows his power. He said that’s what is missing is someone giving Brock the fight like he gives to everyone else. Goldberg says that Brock knows what would happen, he knows where he lives, and the same thing will happen to Brock that happened at WrestleMania XX.

Goldberg said that he never turns down a challenge and they deserve to see that match. Check out the video below:

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned it’s only a matter of time before we see Nikki Bella back in a WWE ring … because doctors have officially cleared her for a return.

As we previously reported, Nikki started training again last month and was waiting to get the green light from WWE’s medical staff. We’re told that’s finally happened.

No word yet as to when she’ll return, or on what brand.

It was reported back in March that Nikki could only come back on a part-time basis if her surgery was a success. Pro Wrestling Sheet sources say that’s still the case, and she’s been instructed by WWE officials to take things slow upon her return.

WWE Suspends Eva Marie 

Via WWE.com –  WWE has suspended Natalie Coyle (Eva Marie) for 30 days effective immediately for her first violation of the company’s talent wellness policy

It would seem that the WWE has been hit with the Black Plague when it comes to suspensions. This marks the third in the last 24 hours. (DelRio and Paige are also on the list)

One has to wonder if they all tested positive for the same banned substance? Some fans even believe it could all be staged for an episode of Total Divas.   either way this is the kind of news we never like to hear.

WWE Champion Dean Ambrose picked up some backstage heat from his recent “Stone Cold Podcast” with Steve Austin on the WWE Network, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

The heat didn’t come from any of Ambrose’s answers, avoiding questions or for any of the awkward moments during the interview, but because he was being negative on creative and being negative on creative means being negative on Triple H and Vince McMahon.

Officials also were not happy about Ambrose publicly talking about how Brock Lesnar didn’t want to do anything for their match at WrestleMania 32.
