Source: WrestlingINC

There have been a lot of rumors about a possible surprise return or debut at WWE’s WrestleMania 32 on Sunday.

One of the rumors says Bill Goldberg will be making his return to the company on Sunday night. I should stress that his return is not confirmed but a source has noted to me that he is rumored to return.

As noted earlier, Bryan Alvarez reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that there is at least one big surprise planned that’s not Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows, that few people know about, and that fans may have a better idea of who it is come Saturday night. We do not know if Goldberg is who he was referring to and we do not know if Goldberg is really coming back but at least one source believes the rumors are true.
