WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg recently confirmed that he will make an in-ring return pretty soon. However, there have been some speculations regarding his contract with WWE. Rumors started to float that he inked a new deal with the company.
While speaking to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, Goldberg clarified his contract status with WWE. Goldberg stated that while he has completed his obligation for the number of matches he signed on for, he is still signed to WWE. An update has emerged on the matter.

Sean Sapp provided some clarity behind Fightful’s paywall on what’s going on with Goldberg’s current situation. It was noted that any report about Goldberg inking a new deal are not true:
Last week, rumors circulated that Goldberg had signed a new WWE contract that would see him with a two year deal, with five matches guaranteed, and three matches to be against new talent that he hasn’t faced. In addition, the report stated the shows would be mainly Saudi/WrestleMania matches. However, those close to him say not so fast. Specifically they said “that would be news to his reps that negotiate those kinds of deals.”
Goldberg made his return to WWE in 2016 and reignited his rivalry with Lesnar, defeating The Beast Incarnate at that year’s Survivor Series in very short order. Since that return, Goldberg has competed on another 11 occasions for the company, capturing the Universal Championship on two occasions. The former WWE Universal Champion has been away from WWE. His last match took place at Elimination Chamber in February, when he had challenged Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. However, he was unsuccessful in his attempt.
