“I would really like to have a final match in the WWE”

“I would really like to have a final match in the WWE”

In a recent episode of the podcast “Busted Open Radio,” Bill Goldberg expressed his interest in having one final wrestling match in the WWE.

However, the WWE Hall of Famer emphasized that an existing injury must be addressed first. Goldberg is currently battling a torn rotator cuff.

He said, “Oh man, I’d love to, dude, 100%. But I’ve got to finally get my torn rotator cuff fixed because… we all live with these injuries, right, and I’ll be honest, when I came back with Brock (Lesnar), and nobody knew this, that first night in Denver, I completely tore my rotator cuff, and I never told anybody. I’ve kept working because you train sparingly, once, twice a year. So I can peak and get as strong as I can. I’m not doing anything until I get that done, and hopefully that’ll happen soon. I’m doing stem cells here soon and then I’ll see if surgery is needed. But yeah, man. I’d like one more fight. You know how it is. Vince and I talked about it, and he gave me his word, but all of that happened. Hey, man, I hold no grudges. Vince gave me so many opportunities, man. I’ll be eternally grateful.”

He continued, “But yeah, I would absolutely love that endgame, I would. Is it good for me not to have it? Yes, I’m OK with that. But it would be great to have it. It wouldn’t have to be with anyone, I could do it myself and achieve what I wanted to achieve. I could do the promotion myself overseas, in Israel, in India, in Japan, maybe in the States. I don’t know. I’ve thought about a lot of things, but you’ve seen me, I’ve put my life on hold for the last 18 years because of my son. Everyone asks, ‘Why have you lost so much weight?’ Well, I’ve lost so much weight because every night at dinner, if there are four steaks, I give him three and take one.”

“My life was completely focused on getting my son into a situation where he’s hopefully ready for the next part of his life. Now my son is gone, and he’s been gone for two, three weeks, and I’ve become a little bit of myself again (laughs), whether good, bad or indifferent. Mostly good, other than being able to fill my time with things without worrying about what the hell my son is doing and whether he needs me or not and what’s going on. So I’m starting Muay Thai again, I’m training again, I’m eating again, I’m taking care of myself. I’m doing things that I haven’t done in so long. You never know, you should never say never. As wrestlers, we never retire until we’re dead.”

Goldberg’s WWE contract expired at the end of 2022 and was not renewed by the company.
