The wrestling world might soon see the emergence of a new Goldberg, with a clear goal in sight. In an emotional chat with Bill Apter from Wrestlebinge, University of Colorado linebacker Gage Goldberg shared his wrestling dreams and his strong urge for revenge against the man who ended his father’s career.
At 19, Gage was straightforward when asked if watching his dad’s retirement match against world heavyweight champion Gunther inspired his wrestling ambitions. The moment turned intense when he jumped the barrier during the main event on July 12, 2025, refusing to be moved back to his seat by security.
“If I’m fully committed, I’m definitely looking to get revenge for Dad,” Gage confidently stated. His passion for a revenge storyline was clear as he added, “Who doesn’t love a bit of revenge? Once I’m fully there, absolutely.”
The idea of capturing Championship Gold while avenging his father excites the younger Goldberg. When Apter suggested a storyline where Gage beats Gunther for the title, he didn’t hesitate, saying, “Yeah, 100% [make me proud].”
While currently focused on his football career under coach Deion Sanders at Colorado, WWE has shown interest in Gage’s potential wrestling future after football. The interview even jokingly explored a father-son rivalry angle, with Gage laughing at the idea of Bill Goldberg coming back to face him for the championship. “Yeah, I’m going there. I’m going there,” he joked.
Fan Take: This news is a thrilling development for WWE fans because it introduces fresh energy and a built-in storyline rooted in legacy and revenge. Gage Goldberg’s rise could add a compelling new chapter to WWE’s history, blending real-life emotions with high-stakes competition.
