The former <strong>WCW<\/strong> Superstar is set to face <strong>Drew McIntyre<\/strong> at the <strong><em>Royal Rumble<\/em><\/strong> for the <strong>WWE<\/strong> Championship. During the third hour of RAW, The Miz and Morrison held a segment of their talk show, The Dirt Sheet. While viewers expected Goldberg, they received something different yet familiar.

His entrance came complete with WWE officials holding sparklers and spraying the former Light Heavyweight Champion with a fire extinguisher. The Dirt Sheet quickly devolved into comedic antics as The Miz asked \u201cGoldberg\u201d how he was preparing for his upcoming match with McIntyre. Gillberg responded by saying he would bash his own head into a wall.<\/p>\n<p>The antics continued from there, not only due to Gillberg but a mock version of Drew McIntyre who made his entrance. The latter mouthed off to a sneering Gillberg, saying he would kick his ass back to 1998. All the while, \u201cMcIntyre\u201d maintained a questionable Scottish accent. Finally, The Miz admitted that the segment was going off the rails, calling it a \u201ctrainwreck,\u201d before becoming serious. The Miz said that neither Goldberg nor McIntyre would leave the <em>Royal Rumble<\/em> with the WWE Championship. He promised that he would cash in his Money in the Bank opportunity. \u201cBecause I&#8217;m The Miz,\u201d he concluded. \u201cAnd I&#8217;m&#8230; NEXT!\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gillberg couldn&#39;t even put <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mikethemiz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@mikethemiz<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheRealMorrison?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@TheRealMorrison<\/a> in a good mood on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheDirtSheet?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#TheDirtSheet<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWERaw?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#WWERaw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/V5EOhuJWce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/V5EOhuJWce<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE (@WWE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/1351365088435974145?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January 19, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Gillberg last appeared on Monday Night RAW back in 2017.
