I think Goldberg is gonna be the leader of Aces OF 8. bc he said he returning to wrestling but not in wwe.
If they could get past their personal issues and use it in a storyline Scott Steiner would be the perfect reveal as the Aces & 8s leader. Real life issues in fueds leads to great TV (Bret Hart/Shawn Michaels, Kevin Sullivan/Chris Benoit, Edge/Matt Hardy, Kurt Angle/Jeff Jarrett)
