Thirty men will try to earn a main-event match at WrestleMania 33 when they compete in the Royal Rumble on Sunday night - including Goldberg, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker.
Goldberg announced he would enter the Royal Rumble a day after he decimated Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series, the veteran smashing The Beast Incarnate in under two minutes in Toronto in November.
A week later, Lesnar's advocate, Paul Heyman, confirmed that his client would also take part in the 30-man melee, putting The Anomaly on a possible collision course with his autumn conqueror.
The event, which will cost £19.95 for viewers in the United Kingdom and €24.95 for customers in Ireland, is live from midnight (Monday morning).
Repeat showings will be available, in standard definition only, between 10am on Monday, January 30 and 8pm on Thursday, February 2 - 8pm is the start of the final play-out.
2007 Royal Rumble winner The Undertaker has also confirmed he will enter the 30-man bout for the first time since 2009, while The New Day's Kofi Kingston, Big E and Xavier Woods are confirmed competitors, too.
Raw's Chris Jericho, Braun Strowman, Cesaro, Sheamus, Sami Zayn, Big Show, Big Cass and Rusev are in, as are Smackdown's Baron Corbin, Dean Ambrose, The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Bray Wyatt, Randy Orton, Luke Harperand Mojo Rawley.
Elsewhere at WWE Royal Rumble, which will take place inside the Alamodome in San Antonio, Roman Reigns will challenge Raw rival Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship in a No Disqualification Match.
Reigns looked poised to rip the title from Owens at Roadblock: End of the Line in December - until Jericho interfered to ensure his best friend retained the strap via disqualification.
Jericho should be unable to impact the result in Texas, though, as, by the decree of Raw General Manager Mick Foley, he will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage.
John Cena will attempt to match Ric Flair's record of 16 world titles when he takes on reigning WWE Champion AJ Styles, the man he lost to at Money in the Bank, SummerSlam and No Mercy in 2016.
Plus, Bayley will challenge Charlotte for the Raw Women's Title, and Newcastle native Neville will look to prise the Cruiserweight Championship from Baltimore's Rich Swann.
