Despite all previous read rumours regarding the future of Bill Goldberg, it looks as though WWE have opted to reopen negotiations
with him.
The reason for this appears to be due to the loss of big names such as Brock Lesnar leaving the company, and Kurt Angle
on the shelf for the time being, WWE are getting short of natural main-event stars.

While many believe that Goldberg will return to the company, however once the time and money are right. Goldberg has been
asking the question of whether it will benefit his career if he stayed of WWE television for a while, or whether to return
to WWE television quickly so that fans don't forget about him.
