WWE icon Bill Goldberg recently stepped into the ring for what was expected to be his farewell bout during Saturday (August 02) Night’s Main Event in Atlanta. Facing the dominant Gunther, the 57-year-old legend turned back the clock, delivering a performance far beyond expectations. It was his first match in nearly three years, and despite past injury concerns, Goldberg pushed Gunther to the limit.
After the match, Goldberg was set to deliver a heartfelt farewell speech, thanking his family, fans, and those who supported his journey in the squared circle. But the moment was unexpectedly cut short by WWE, reportedly due to broadcast constraints. The abrupt end left Goldberg visibly frustrated, and he didn’t hold back in the days that followed—accusing WWE of disrespecting what should have been a defining moment in his career.
Despite backstage apologies from WWE officials, the incident stirred speculation that Goldberg may be considering a move to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), which has welcomed several former WWE stars in recent years.
Appearing on The Ariel Helwani Show, Paul Heyman shed light on Goldberg’s reaction, “Bill Goldberg had very, very high expectations in WWE. In Bill Goldberg’s mind, they weren’t met,” Heyman stated. “I could say that Bill Goldberg was wrong. I could tell you that WWE was wrong. But I can tell you that is how Bill Goldberg felt and he’s not shy about letting you know how he feels.”
Although the Atlanta bout was billed as his last, insiders believe Goldberg may not be done. If he signs with AEW, it could trigger one of the most dramatic late-career moves in wrestling history. For now, the legend’s next chapter remains a mystery—but one the wrestling world is watching closely.
