Goldberg made his final appearance in the ring on WWE Saturday Night Main Event, challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. Although this was promoted as his last match, wrestling fans know that “final matches” often aren’t truly the end.
On the Ariel Helwani Show, Goldberg was asked if he genuinely believes he’s retired. The WWE Hall of Famer clarified that retirement in wrestling is rarely straightforward.
“I can’t say for sure. Usually, yes, I’m done, but I’ve been pushing myself hard for the past five months… I’m unsure if I want to jump back in again. I don’t really feel retired—I’m ready to go once more,” he explained.
“You never really plan for retirement. In professional wrestling, you’re not retired until you’re gone for good. As a general rule, yeah, I’m retired.”
No matter what happens, Goldberg knows he must take his time before returning to WWE. Fans should not expect to see him back in action anytime soon. During the interview, he reiterated that his wrestling retirement isn’t final.
“In wrestling, you don’t retire until you die. I’m still here. This was a revival. It was a lot of fun.”
Goldberg’s farewell marked a significant moment for the former Universal Champion, though he didn’t leave with a win. Stay tuned for updates on Goldberg’s journey and future developments in wrestling.
