Tony Khan has been known to sign a lot of talent for the AEW/ROH roster and has been criticized for having too much talent under contract to be able to use every one.
In the case of Goldberg, a legendary name in the pro wrestling business, he is someone to certainly consider, given the name value that the former WWE/WCW star brings.
Goldberg’s contract expired with WWE at the end of 2022, but news broke just Monday that he is a free agent, leading to fans speculating whether the Hall of Famer would go to All Elite Wrestling.

“I have a lot of respect for Bill. I think Bill Goldberg is a great professional athlete and has had a great career in pro wrestling. He is a very nice person,” Khan stated.
Khan continued, I think he’s a household name in pro wrestling. And certainly, that’s interesting to hear that Bill is a free agent. That’s something to follow. He’s one of the biggest names in wrestling and certainly will be something else to keep an eye on for us. We have so many great wrestlers in AEW and so many exciting things happening in AEW week-to-week that it’s always an exciting time. Bill is an exceptionally exciting name and one of the biggest names in the sport. Certainly, it’s a big thing for us to pay attention to, so I would take notice of that.”
