WWE sets plans for Goldberg’s return, possible return date revealed

According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline, Bill Goldberg will make his WWE return on the January 27 episode of RAW in Atlanta, Georgia, marking the second episode of the red brand on Netflix.

The WWE Hall of Famer, who has confirmed his retirement for 2025, had a confrontation with Gunther during WWE Bad Blood 2024.

The segment involved Gunther, and that was the planned match. I assume it wouldn’t be for the title. WrestleMania 41 makes sense, but it was never confirmed to us that it would take place at that show

Logan Paul Could Face Gunther at WrestleMania 41

Another trusted source, Mike Johnson of PWInsider, reports that WWE is internally discussing the possibility of Logan Paul challenging Gunther at WrestleMania 41. Initial hints at this potential clash surfaced during RAW on Netflix, where Paul expressed interest in the World Heavyweight Championship.

Gunther responded to Logan Paul’s comments during the show:

He’s obviously very athletically gifted. But I don’t believe being World Heavyweight Champion is one of his talents. If Logan Paul thinks he can come here and take this from me—if he earns his spot to challenge me for the World Heavyweight Championship—it will be my duty and pleasure to wipe that silly grin off his face.

According to Johnson, while nothing is set in stone, the idea is gaining traction within WWE’s creative circles. Meanwhile, WrestlePurists.com reports that a match between Gunther and Seth Rollins is also being considered for WrestleMania.
