Goldberg Rejected Match With Fired WWE Star

WWE Hall Of Famer Goldberg returned to WWE in 2016 after a hiatus of more than 12 years from the company. He decimated 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 show’s main events.  As revealed by his contract, Vince McMahon can only have him compete in one more match every year, so it needs to be meaningful. It was rumored to be the last match of his contract, so it may be his retirement match. Goldberg was also previously diagnosed with a bad illness as well. 

 


 

He had two matches against Bobby Lashley at WWE SummerSlam and then WWE Crown Jewel on October 21st, 2021 in Saudi Arabia respectively. Goldberg beat Lashley in the second match. Since then, the WWE Hall Of Famer has been absent from WWE television.

Goldberg squared off against Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at the WWE Elimination Chamber event in Saudi Arabia on February 19th. The Tribal Chief ended up winning the match as well.

Gillberg recalled meeting Goldberg at an autograph-signing session many years ago and talked about a potential match. Goldberg made it clear he would not do it.

“He said, ‘Thanks a lot!’ I said, ‘For what?’ He said, ‘Man, if you wouldn’t have been doing the gimmick, they might have forgotten about me,'” revealed Gillberg. “I was like, ‘No problem.’ While you’re in a giving mood, I said, ‘Why don’t we have this match, bro?’ I said, ‘You against me, you can kill Gillberg, get it done. Get it over with; you can get on with your life.’ Nope! He won’t have anything acknowledged or anything to do with me.
