WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg had last competed at February’s Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event where he was defeated by Roman Reigns in roughly six minutes. Many fans speculated that it was the end of in-ring career for the legend. But that is not the case.
Goldberg wants to continue wrestling
Reigns winning decisively helped him cement his run in the company and Goldberg’s offense was kept to a minimum. The WCW legend recently joined Bleacher Report for an interview and when asked whether he’d be content with that being his final bout in the ring, he answered:
“Hell no! As Goldberg, absolutely not. It was great business, but it’s not how I want to go out.”
He didn’t want to admit that the loss and the way it went down still bothers him several months later, but he was clear that was the case. He stated that he wants to go out on a high note following a stronger showing than the one he had at Elimination Chamber:
“It doesn’t eat at me by any stretch of the imagination, but it eats at me, 100 percent,” he said jokingly. “Roman and I were on a collision course for a long period of time. It never happened when it would have been the best, but to say anyone that beats me doesn’t deserve to have their ass kicked afterward, I’d be a liar if I said anything other than that.”
If Goldberg ever decides to step inside the squared circle again he has some big names on Raw and SmackDown that he could work well with. Reigns would make the most sense if Goldberg feels they still have unfinished business, but if WWE doesn’t want to run that back and fans want to see something fresh, Goldberg vs. Riddle would be extremely intriguing given their legitimate bad blood with each other:
“I think there’s a number of guys out there that would be interesting for sure,” he said. “Riddle and I have had a controversial past. I’d love to pop him in the face a couple of times. But yeah, I owe Roman something for sure. I’d always like to get Brock again, beggers can’t be choosers. If it happens, it happens, but if not, I just have to deal with it. I’m sure I’ll catch him on the street or something.”
Among the many projects he’s been involved in during his latest absence from WWE TV is the latest episode of Biography: WWE Legends, dropping this Sunday, July 17, on A&E. The season’s second episode will cover the career of the multitime WCW and WWE world champion.
