It’s been a while since fans have seen Goldberg in the ring as he last competed when he faced off against Roman Reigns in 2022. The former Universal Champion has stated that he’d like to have a retirement match, but so far no plans have been announced. During a recent appearance on Busted Open Radio, Goldberg was asked about a potential retirement match and he made it clear that he’s still open to the idea.
“Oh man, I’d love to, dude, 100%. But I have to get my torn rotator cuff taken care of finally because…we all live with these injuries, right, and I’ll come out and say it, when I came back with Brock [Lesnar], and nobody ever knew this, that first night in Denver, I blew my rotator cuff completely, and I never told anybody about it. I kept working through it because you work sparingly, once, twice a year. So I can crescendo and I can get as strong as I can. I ain’t doing s*** until I get that done, and that’s hopefully coming up.
I’m doing stem cells here soon, and then I’m gonna see if surgery’s needed. But yeah, man. I’d love to have one more match. You know how it is. Vince and I spoke about it, and he gave me his word, but all that stuff happened. Hey, man, I don’t hold grudges. Vince gave me so many opportunities, man. I’ll be forever grateful. But yeah, I would absolutely love to have that final match, I would. Am I good not having it? Yeah, I’m fine with it. But it’d be neat to have it.”
When asked if the match would have to be with AEW or WWE, Bill Goldberg said, “It wouldn’t have to be with anyone, I could do it myself and get accomplished what I wanted to accomplish. I could do the promotion myself overseas, do it in Israel, do it in India, do it in Japan, maybe do one in the states. I don’t know. I’ve thought about a lot of things, but you have seen me, I’ve put my life on hold the last 18 years with my son.”
