WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg made a surprise appearance at WWE Bad Blood, confronting World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER after The Ring General disrespected him in a heated exchange. WWE seemed to set the stage for a potential showdown between the two powerhouses, especially after Goldberg issued his signature threat, screaming Youre Next! into the camera. However, at 57 years old, many are speculating that Goldbergs next match could very well be his last.
During his reaction show on 83 Weeks, former WCW executive Eric Bischoff offered his take on the possibility of Goldbergs retirement and shared who he thinks should be his final opponentnone other than rising WWE Raw star Bron Breakker, son of wrestling legend Rick Steiner.
Bischoff elaborated, saying, I would be using Bill to help get somebody over and I would look for an underdog. Id look for somebody young or Id look for something that had a story to it you could use Rick Steiners son [Bron], theyve done a good job of establishing the Steiner brothers since WrestleMania.
Bischoff went on to explain that the history between Goldberg, the Steiner brothers, and Bron Breakker, dating back to WCW, would make for a compelling narrative that could be told without requiring months of buildup.
Goldbergs last in-ring appearance was at Elimination Chamber 2022, where he unsuccessfully challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. Should he return for one final match, it would be his 12th singles contest since coming back to WWE in 2016.
As WWE teases the possibility of Goldberg vs. GUNTHER, fans are left to wonder whether this could be Goldbergs farewell moment or if Bischoffs suggestion of a match with Breakker will come to fruition.
