What’s next? Goldberg returned to WWE late last year and somehow put together one more run which included a Universal Title reign. As many expected, he basically disappeared after his loss at “Wrestlemania XXXIII” (save for an appearance after “Monday Night Raw” went off the air) and hasn’t been seen since. He’s back with an interview though and has some interesting things to talk about.
On His Last Run Making Up For His Previous One
“As a performer you want the best for your character and your business, you want to go out and do the best that you can do personally and professionally. It was a wrong that was re-written. Whatever the circumstances may have been, at the end of the day, the character finally got what it deserved and I am not talking about me, I’m talking about the character.”
On A Potential Third WWE Run
“Personally and professionally, it’s something that I would have to take into consideration if it was ever presented to me again. As far as the physical aspect is concerned, as I sit and look at myself in the gym I ask myself what I am going to do with this? I don’t think it’s an impossibility, but it could be an improbability to ever get back in the ring, but never say never. Like I said the last time; you never know who is next and you never know what is next.”
And On Who He Would Like To Face
“There’s so much young talent there that have the possibility of being the next superstar. Obviously, the guy with the big push now is Braun Strowman, but unfortunately he is hurt. Great kid and a great work ethic, obviously great character. I would be remiss that stepping in the ring with Roman Reigns wouldn’t be fun. There are a lot of guys of being worthy to be getting their ass kicked by me; at the end of the day, there are a lot of great people to leave this business with. I think the stars of the future are right on the cusp of breaking out. There is a plethora of talent ready to be the next big thing.”

Opinion: While I can’t imagine Goldberg actually making another run in WWE, I could imagine him being inducted into the Hall of Fame next year. This previous run included less than ten minutes of actual wrestling and somehow got him a World Title run. If that’s what he can do in this nostalgia run, I can’t imagine what would happen to him in a later nostalgia run.
Do any of these matches interest you? Do you think Goldberg would ever come back to the ring? Let us know in the comments below.
