Goldberg Says He's Still Under WWE Contract, Waiting For 'One Call'

Fans haven't seen Goldberg in the ring since WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 against Roman Reigns, which was the last remaining match on his WWE contract.

Though he finished his number of obligated matches, Goldberg revealed to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post that he remains under WWE contract and is waiting for the call if needed.

“I’m still waiting for that one [call] to happen one of these days,” Goldberg said. “But I suppose you never retire in the wrestling world until you’re dead, so who knows.”

The former WWE Universal Champion admitted that he may never get the call, but he'll be ready.

Goldberg previously revealed that he needed to undergo shoulder surgery, but wouldn't have the operation until he's "finished."

Goldberg said he still hasn't been “cut on because you never know when the phone’s gonna ring.” He also noted he's in “pretty damn good shape right now” compared to where he was.

Goldberg said his shoulder, which he described as “absolutely destroyed over the past four or five years,” was so bad that he couldn’t pick up a five-pound weight. He said he was somehow “able to hide it from everybody.” He thought he was going to need reattachment surgery, but doesn’t believe that to be the case now after the time he’s spent rehabbing.

Goldberg was the subject of the latest A&E Biography: WWE Legends, which aired on Sunday, July 17.
