Goldberg is without question one of the biggest names in the history of professional wrestling, and it was recently reported that his WWE contract has expired which makes him a free agent. The Hall of Famer has said that he wants to wrestle one more match, but it’s not clear when or where a last match could happen for Goldberg.
Tony Khan has expressed some interest in Goldberg’s status and he talked a little bit about the former Universal Championship during the post-show media scrum following ROH Supercard of Honor. Khan shot down the idea of Goldberg ever appearing in ROH, but noted that he finds the idea of Goldberg appearing in AEW interesting.
“Goldberg in Ring of Honor is never going to happen. However, I do think that [Goldberg acquisition] would be interesting for AEW. That is another great example of the differences between AEW and Ring of Honor. AEW has a bigger budget, but I try to take the production values of AEW and use some of the synergies so ROH can leverage AEW’s great production team and assets.
“But, at the same time, it’s also great for AEW to develop young wrestlers, to have some of the top stars come here [to ROH] and represent that company. At the same time, there are things I would do in AEW that are more expensive. There are things in ROH that are more catered to a hardcore fanbase. I know we can bring in wrestlers that people will be excited to see, but that might not necessarily translate to a huge Neilsen rating. Although ROH has done record live gates and revenue over the past year or so, I don’t want to do something out of character [by bringing in Goldberg].”
