Goldberg appears at WWE Bad Blood, tells Gunther he’s ‘next’
Goldberg made an appearance at WWE Bad Blood and teased potentially getting back in the ring.
After being shown in the front row with his son Gage earlier in the night, Goldberg took part in an angle with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. Gunther insulted Goldberg, calling him a “one-trick-pony” and saying he hopes Goldberg is a better father than he is a professional wrestler.
That led to Goldberg coming over the barricade and attempting to go after Gunther, but security kept them apart. While that happened, Sami Zayn — who is challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight title on Raw this coming Monday — took the opportunity to attack Gunther and brawl with him.
Goldberg then issued a warning to Gunther before posing for the crowd.
“You’re next, boy,” Goldberg declared.
Bad Blood was held in Atlanta, where Goldberg once played football for the Atlanta Falcons. His son Gage is currently a freshman linebacker for the University of Colorado, being coached by Goldberg’s old teammate Deion Sanders.
Whether a Goldberg vs. Gunther match will happen remains to be seen. The 57-year-old Goldberg hasn’t wrestled since 2022 but has said he’s still hoping to return to the ring for a retirement match. He’s blamed Vince McMahon for going back on his word and not giving Goldberg a promised retirement match when McMahon was in charge of WWE.
Gunther’s segment at Bad Blood also included Paul “Triple H” Levesque announcing that WWE will determine its first-ever Crown Jewel Champions in Saudi Arabia next month. Currently, the two Crown Jewel title matches are scheduled to be Gunther vs. Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan vs. Nia Jax.
