A potential retirement match for former WWE Universal Champion Goldberg and AEW star CM Punk at All In could generate a lot of buzz for the promotion.
It has been seven months since former WWE World Champion CM Punk was last seen in an AEW ring. His absence is due to a supposed suspension after an alleged backstage brawl with The Elite following the All Out media scrum. Furthermore, the former AEW World Champion was injured during a match against Jon Moxley during the same show, which took place on September 4 last year and has been recuperating ever since.

Meanwhile, Goldberg recently announced his free agency and has talked about wanting a retirement match, which he was promised by Vince McMahon in a handshake deal but never happened. With Tony Khan apparently showing interest in him, there's a possibility that he could show up at AEW and have his retirement match against Punk.
The potential retirement match could take place at AEW's first international show, All In, which is set to be held at Wembley Stadium in the UK on August 27 this year. The idea of Punk retiring Goldberg in front of a massive crowd at such an iconic venue is sure to be a draw for wrestling fans around the world.
If it does come to fruition, it could be a defining moment for both wrestlers and for Tony Khan's promotion.
