Goldberg is once again considering an in-ring return.
The WWE Hall of Famer last wrestled Roman Reigns one year ago at the Elimination Chamber event in Saudi Arabia, a matchup he lost after the Tribal Chief choked him out.
The former two-time Universal Champion discussed a potential resurgence during an interview with Sports Illustrated, where he reveals that he even has a few ideas of how he could do a matchup on his own if WWE is not interested. Highlights from the interview can be found below.
Says never say never regarding a return to the ring:
You never say never, especially in wrestling, and they owe me one. That’s all I can say. I made a deal with the devil and I did my job, and they owe me a retirement match. At the end of the day, at 56, it’s not something where I’m sitting by the phone waiting for a call. I’ve got a few ideas of how to do it on my own, possibly in Israel. So never say never.
On the passion of wrestling fans:
The tenacity of wrestling fans is unparalleled. I’m not going to sit here and say that I owe them everything, but I sure as hell am close. It’s an honor to be remembered and supported by such a group of people. There is such a fever pitch in the passion of the fans. To be part of that, I’m blessed.
Goldberg recently made headlines for sharing his thoughts on Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime performance from earlier this year. You can read what he thought about that here.
