Goldberg is preparing for his final match in 2025, which he hopes to have in the summer. Goldberg last wrestled in 2022, losing to Roman Reigns at the WWE Elimination Chamber PLE.
This past October, he confronted World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER at Bad Blood. Goldberg spoke about his plans while being interviewed by Ariel Helwani. Here are the highlights:
On Vince McMahon not giving him his retirement match: “Vince had promised me another match because not too many people know this, but I took the Roman match with like a month prior notice, and I had Covid. That’s not the way to go out. I always, in the bottom of my heart, wanted to go out and present myself in a little bit more positively than I was able to. I mean, Paul and I spoke and we came to an agreement that in 2025 I’d have my retirement match.”
On a potential GUNTHER match: “He’s the new generation. I’m the old generation. It’s kind of like a passing of the torch in a way. I wouldn’t turn that one down by any stretch of the imagination. You don’t ever open your mouth in front of my wife and my son negatively about me.”
