Goldberg Reveals When He Plans To Retire From Wrestling

A few years ago Goldberg made his return to the ring, and WWE has been using him sparingly ever since. Earlier this year he defeated The Fiend to win the Universal Championship, and he last competed at WrestleMania 36 where he dropped the belt to Braun Strowman.

It’s not exactly clear when Goldberg will be back in the ring, but he did recently tease a potential match with Roman Reigns, who he was originally supposed to face at WrestleMania 36.

The WWE Hall of Famer revealed earlier this year that he’s still contractually obligated to wrestle two matches a year for WWE through 2023, and during an interview with Bleacher Report he was asked if the end of his current contract would mark the end of his career.

“We always have to cross that bridge when we come to it. I’m 53 years old, I’ll be 54 here in a couple of weeks. Hey, as long as my body can still do it, I’m still going to do it. It’s very tough because being a power wrestler at this age, I’m not the person I was back in the past. You have that sense of, ‘Oh, am I ruining my legacy?’ Well, you know what? I still have to put food on the table for my family.”

“There are a lot of things that come into consideration, and at the end of the day, I’m a businessman,” he continued. “I do what I got to do to stay afloat and stay out there. I don’t see myself hanging it up any time soon, but then again, I also don’t see myself wrestling until I’m 60.”

Who do you want to see Goldberg wrestle next? Sound off in the comments below.
