The Goldberg WWE 24 episode will debut on Monday 11/13 following Raw.

With WCW Thunder and Sunday Night Heat being indefinetly held up from being added to the WWE Network, we are told that the company is planning for the reality series era of WWE NXT to follow World Class Championship Wrestling onto the VOD component of the streaming service.  Those episodes would feature Daniel Bryan's official debut for the company (which, if you've read his autobiography, he wasn't thrilled about during that time period) as well as the introduction of a lot of talent including Heath Slater, AJ Lee, Titus O'Neil, Kaitlyn, David Otunga, Wade Barrett, a pre-EC3 Derrick Bateman and a pre-Bray Wyatt Husky Harris.

Taz discussed the return of Wargames on yesterday's edition of his CBS Sports Radio series The Taz Show, which you can check out by clicking here. The show airs every weekday morning live from NYC from 8-10 AM.
