Goldberg Extended WWE Contract Leaks

WWE Hall Of Famer Goldberg made his return to WWE in 2016 after a hiatus of more than a decade from the company. He would go on to defeat Brock Lesnar in a squash match at Survivor 2016 and then win the Universal Championship against Kevin Owens in 2017. He defended his title against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 in one of the main events of the show.  As stated by his contract, Vince McMahon can only have him compete in one more match this year, so it has to mean something. It’s rumored to be the last match of his contract, so it may be his retirement match. Goldberg also admitted to mocking Ric Flair for being too old to be in the ring in the past. Goldberg also sent a bold message to a female WWE Superstar a few months ago.

 


 

Goldberg squared off against Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WWE SummerSlam but was unable to continue on with the match due to getting injured as part of the storyline. Bobby Lashley won the match via referee’s stoppage.

According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Goldberg has a special deal with WWE regarding his match against Bobby Lashley at WWE Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.

The other match that is going to be there is Lashley and Bill Goldberg, because that one won’t be put on TV, because Goldberg does have a specific deal with the Saudi shows that is very lucrative and if you were gonna pull his match to put it on TV he wouldn’t be happy at all. That’s millions of dollars of difference. It’s not like all the other guys who are going to get paid the said whether they’re on the show.
