Bengaluru, Jan 19: The Kingpin of WWE Raw is returning alongside his scheduled title match challenger, next week. It has been now confirmed that WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg will be in attendance, live from the ThunderDome on next Monday's Royal Rumble go-home episode.
McIntyre has been off the TV for the past two weeks after testing positive for COVID-19. But he did appear on this week’s show via a pre-recorded message from his home. He was talking from his gym stating that he feels better from the initial coronavirus diagnosis, and will be back next week. He also invited Goldberg to face him if he wants some action.
Later, WWE.com officially announced that these two top stars will be back for next week's Raw. Goldberg and McIntyre are likely to have a final confrontation on the final red brand show before meeting for the WWE Title at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view on January 31.
Goldberg returned on RAW during the Legends Night episode on January 4, which was also the last night that McIntyre was physically present on Raw. That was the same night where The Myth challenged McIntyre to the title match at Royal Rumble.
