Despite Dolph Ziggler vs the Miz having been announced recently for SummerSlam, the plan appears to be for Ziggler to actually wrestle Bill Goldberg on the show.
According to a report on Wrestling Observer Radio, the Miz vs Dolph Ziggler announcement was a red herring and Goldberg will be coming in for the show.
“Even though they announced Miz – and I don’t know how they are going to get to it – it is, in fact, Bill Goldberg,” Dave Meltzer said on the show. Meltzer would go on to state that Roman Reigns vs Daniel Bryan, which had also been reported, is also planned for the show.
