Goldberg Says Retirement Match Will Happen This Summer: ‘I Feel Like a Trillion Bucks’

Goldberg is preparing for his final match in 2025, prioritizing health and recovery in the process. He previously stated on ESPN’s College GameDay last year that his retirement match would take place in WWE.

The WWE Hall of Famer recently underwent stem cell treatment, a procedure he prepared for by making significant lifestyle changes. On his CarCast podcast, Goldberg revealed that he had to eliminate bad habits, such as tobacco use and poor dietary choices.

While the treatment was successful, he is currently in a three-week recovery period during which he cannot lift weights. The date and opponent for his farewell match remain unknown.

“I feel like a trillion bucks. Whether it’s from the stuff that I altered in my life prior or the stem cell treatment after a day, I feel like a million bucks, comparatively,” Goldberg shared.

“You have to be logical, but it’s like you’re a racehorse again, and you’re being held in a stall, and you can’t come out for a period of time. I have a match sometime this summer. I don’t know exactly when it is, but I know it’s coming up, and I know at 58 years old, I have to be in my underwear in front of everybody, and I hold a very high standard for myself.

I need to get to work yesterday. The long-term benefit and the benefit for me in the ring will be much more if I just calm my ass down.”

Goldberg had a confrontation with World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER at Bad Blood this past October. His last match took place in 2022 at the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event, where he faced Roman Reigns.
