WWE Champion Drew McIntyre headlined the Legends Night episode of RAW with Keith Lee in a WWE Title match. McIntyre and Lee’s match began at 10:30 EST and the two competed until the final stretch of the show. In the end, it was McIntyre delivering a Claymore Kick to Lee to retain his WWE Championship.
After the match, McIntyre shook Lee’s hand, grabbed a microphone and it appeared that he was going to share a few words about the match and speak to the number of legends that were sitting at the top of the entrance ramp watching the main event. As McIntyre began to speak, former Universal Champion Goldberg’s music hit and he made his way to the ring to confront McIntyre. Goldberg talked about how McIntyre views those on the stage as “washed up” and how McIntyre feels he’s better than them. This led to Goldberg challenging Drew to a match for the WWE Title at the Royal Rumble on 1/31.

Goldberg’s last match for WWE took place at WrestleMania 36 where he lost the Universal Title to Braun Strowman. He has appeared on WWE programming since that lost via the ThunderDome and on WWE’s The Bump program.
During the summer of 2020, Goldberg revealed that he’s under contract to WWE through 2023 and his deal is structured on two matches per year. The match between McIntyre and Goldberg has not been made official as of this writing.
