As for Goldberg: I had actually hoped for something like that to happen at SummerSlam. I wanted Cesaro to be the IC Champion (wrestling Chris Jericho) and Miz to come out somewhere else in the show and talk about how he's a former WWE Champion, yadda, yadda, "I challenge anyone in the back to a match," cue Goldberg music. Spear, Jackhammer, the end.
Miz could whinge about how he wasn't ready at SummerSlam and they could do another match at Backlash with Miz calling out Goldberg constantly over the weeks (like his program with Cena or Jericho's program with Goldberg). Goldberg shows up again, Spear, Jackhammer, the end.
By this point you will have gauged whether or not there is interest in sustaining Goldberg as a featured performer, but also gotten some nice little moments out of it. Miz is perfect for getting destroyed by Goldberg. Heath Slater would be too. Just put him on the PPVs proving that he's "still got it" and give up when it stops generating buzz.
