- Vince McMahon is said to still be open to doing Goldberg vs. Ryback at WrestleMania XXX but apparently Goldberg is very set on returning as a babyface, if he returns at all.
Word from backstage is that Ryback wants the match “really bad.” He knows that it would be a big match and figures he would be the one going over. Ryback has been doing all he can for months to stir up interest in addition to lobbying for the match behind-the-scenes.
Regarding WWE officials being upset at Ryback for using Goldberg’s moves, a deal isn’t done with Goldberg and WWE is going back and forth on whether they want to do the match or not. Officials felt like Ryback was going into business for himself by trying to build interest in a match that may not happen. Furthermore, the feeling is that Ryback knows Goldberg at WrestleMania is a match he would be booked to win and wouldn’t be so eager to see the match happen if he was the one who would be on the losing end.
The reason Ryback has been “pinned to death” in recent weeks is a humbling of sorts as WrestleMania XXX plans hang in the balance.
