Goldberg 'Honored' By Triple H's Retirement Match Request
03/24/2025 12:05 PM
Bill Goldberg is gearing up for his final match in 2025, which he hopes will happen in the summer.
Goldberg last wrestled in 2022, losing to Roman Reigns at the WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view event.
In October 2024, Goldberg had a heated moment with World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER at WWE Bad Blood.
As we previously reported here on eWn, WWE’s original plan was for Goldberg to go 1-on-1 with GUNTHER.
During a recent appearance on the “Ariel Helwani Show,” Goldberg revealed that WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque is the one who called him about a retirement match.
Goldberg said, "I was lucky enough one day to be on my tractor here, on the property, cutting the grass, and I get a phone call from Hunter [Triple H]. I was astonished. I hung up the first time because I didn't know who it was. Once we had the conversation, I was extremely appreciative and honored that he would think of me. It was an interview that I did that he saw where I said I thought I was owed a retirement match and if I would still be up for that, and maybe let's talk. It's a testament to something I did in the past because I deserve that kind of respect. We all know it's a business decision at the end of the day. To what degree, nobody knows. I do believe that he was speaking from the heart and he thought if it's something that I wanted, that I deserve it. It took them that long to call me. I wasn't going to [beg for] it. I don't work like that. If I had to go down like I went down in Saudi, then so be it.”
WWE has yet to announce Goldberg's final opponent.
