WWE is currently rumored to be interested in signing former UFC announcer Mike Goldberg to a deal according to Sportskeeda.
The main reason for the potential hire is due to the WWE needing a replacement for Mauro Ranallo on Smackdown after Mauro recently left the company amidst of an alleged bullying scandal involving JBL. The company currently views Mike Golberg as their top choice and would be the second time they have tried to sign him to a deal. The prior time being in 2005 when the company wanted Goldberg to be Jim Ross’ replacement but were unable to convince him to leave UFC.
WWE supposedly feels they have a better chance this time since Mike Goldberg no longer works for UFC and sweetened their offer by recently signing Jim Ross, who is a close friend of Goldberg. Talks supposedly are at the very early stages although WWE has only contacted Goldberg’s representatives and haven’t held any direct talks yet with Mike Goldberg himself.
