WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has officially confirmed that he will have a retirement match in 2025, and the wrestling world has been buzzing with speculation ever since. While Goldberg has been absent from WWE television for months, it looks like the wait is almost over.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, Goldberg will make his return on the January 27, 2025, episode of Monday Night Raw at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
Atlanta holds a special place in Goldberg’s career. He played for the Atlanta Falcons in the early 1990s and rose to stardom in WCW during the late ’90s, when the promotion was based in the city. Fans in Atlanta are sure to give Goldberg a hero’s welcome as he takes another step toward his final match.
Goldberg’s last WWE appearance came at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event, where a tense confrontation with WWE World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER hinted at a potential showdown. However, reports from PWN’s Viper suggest that WWE may have scrapped plans for a Goldberg vs. GUNTHER match this year, leaving fans to wonder who will step up as Goldberg’s retirement opponent.
One name that’s off the list is Ric Flair. Goldberg has already shut down rumors of a match with the Nature Boy, stating it’s not something he’s interested in. With his final match looming, the pressure is on WWE to find a worthy opponent to cap off Goldberg’s legendary career.
Goldberg’s return to Monday Night Raw promises to be a pivotal moment as fans eagerly await details about his retirement match. Will WWE choose a current star to face Goldberg, or will a familiar rival step into the spotlight? Only time will tell.
