WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has spoken out about his upcoming retirement match against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER, calling it an “honor” to face the dominant champion in his final bout. Goldberg returned to WWE on the June 16 episode of Monday Night Raw to set up the high-stakes encounter.
The match is scheduled for the Saturday Night’s Main Event television special on July 12 in Goldberg’s hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Speaking on the “Dan Sileo Show,” Goldberg praised his opponent and acknowledged the unique opportunity to vie for a world title at 58 years old in his last match.
“I remember meeting him years ago right when he broke in and the guy had a shooting star up his ass at that point and I knew he was gonna be destined for big things and hey, it’s an honor for me to get in the ring with him,” Goldberg said. “It’s an honor to step into a position to be vying for the World Heavyweight Championship at 58 years old. I don’t know of any other ones who’ve retired with a match like that.”
