Bill Goldberg put on his twitter that he was in talks with WWE:
Yes, I am in negotiations with the WWE. Looks like ole Hogan and TNA missed the boat. Shame for the fans they didn’t even try. Anyone got any issues on the TNA side I suggest you bring it up with them. Truth is I never thought I’d even consider it…then came my son. No one said I’d wrestle but the door is open to again.
According to Dave Meltzer, WWE contacted Goldberg with an affiliation offer. The deal would not feature Goldberg as a wrestler but is for merchandising and a legends type of contract, perhaps using his likeness as a character in the video games, but at a completely different level than the normal legends deal.
