With reports doing the rounds in the last few days that Bill Goldberg is set to make his long awaited return to the WWE for a WrestleMania 20 rematch with Brock Lesnar, wrestling fans have overlooked that a much more important in ring appearance that is also set to take place in November.
Former Germany international Tim Wiese is set to make his WWE debut at a live event in Munich's Olympiahalle, on November 3rd. The 34-year-old will team with Sheamus and Cesaro in a six man tag team match against The Shining Stars (Primo and Epico) and Bo Dallas.
"It's awesome to make my first WWE appearance in such a great match," said Wiese. "I worked hard for this moment and I can't wait to step into the WWE ring together with Cesaro and Sheamus."

Wiese was personally invited to train with WWE by Triple H, the 14-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion and Executive Vice President of Talent, Live Events and Creative. Wiese jumped at the opportunity and has undertaken an intensive training program to prepare for the match. In early September, he spent a week at the state-of-the-art WWE NXT Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, training with other NXT athletes in WWE's developmental division, under the guidance of the NXT coaching team, led by Head Coach Matt Bloom.
Since then, Wiese has been working out daily in Cologne at a training facility complete with specially-constructed ring.
"As a former elite professional athlete, Tim knows what it takes to focus on a goal and go all-out to achieve it," said Triple H. "It will be a historic night for WWE in Germany when Tim steps into the ring alongside Cesaro and Sheamus."
