Goldberg has provided some insight as to when his final WWE match will take place.

Following a confrontation with Gunther at Bad Blood in October, the Hall of Famer made the announcement the following month that he would have his retirement match in 2025. Although the veteran was rumoured to be a part of the Raw taping in Atlanta back in January, Goldberg has yet to make any appearances on WWE TV since the Gunther altercation.
With WrestleMania being the biggest show on the calendar, some have speculated that Las Vegas may be the location for the Hall of Famer’s final match. However, when providing an update on his preparation on his CarCast podcast, Goldberg noted that he has a match scheduled for “sometime this summer”:

“I feel like a trillion bucks. Whether it’s from the stuff that I altered my life prior or the stem cell treatment after a day. I feel like a million bucks, comparatively. 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 of 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 Has Concerns Ahead Of Final Bout​

At 58 years old and with decades of wear and tear on his body, the 4-time World Champion is very aware that he is past his prime heading into the match this summer. On a previous episode of his podcast, Goldberg revealed his biggest concern ahead of the upcoming retirement match.

As a kid I loved Goldberg! I was first introduced to him playing a WCW game as a kid and then I later caught the end of his first WWE run when he appeared on RAW and then when he feuded with Brock Lesnar despite them wrestling in different brands. I have mixed feelings about seeing him and other nostalgia acts wrestle in old age because he's obviously nowhere near as explosive as he once was and a huge part of his allure and charisma back in the day was due to his strength and athleticism. He was one of the original powerhouse wrestlers that managed to get over huge despite having limited technical skills.
