Goldberg to put 26-year-old over in retirement match? Exploring potential return amid WWE Hall of Famer’s recent comments

WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has hinted that he's open to having one more match to finish his career. The 57-year-old looks to be edging towards retirement, having not competed in the ring since 2022. If the WCW legend wants to go out with a bang, there may be no better star for the job than WWE RAW's current wrecking machine.

Bron Breakker is currently the most chaotic and barbaric star across all three brands of the Stamford-based promotion. His heel turn last month has led to a monstrous reign of terror, with Breakker taking out Ilja Dragunov backstage and hospitalizing Ricochet in the parking lot.

The young upstart has made a massive impact since arriving on Monday nights after the 2024 Draft. The red brand's general manager, Adam Pearce, has tried to keep him in line, but the two-time NXT Champion hasn't listened.

Bron Breakker looks set to continue his path of destruction and now has his sights set on Sami Zayn's Intercontinental Championship. He's in a queue, though, and his title aspirations could be put aside by Adam Pearce.

RAW's GM should show Breakker who's boss and book him in a blockbuster match against a returning Goldberg. Their heavyweight tussle could take place at SummerSlam, given the PLE is shaping up to be one for the ages.

Goldberg recently commented on his pro wrestling future and admitted he'd 'love to do one more match.' He said he wouldn't mind which company it takes place in, whether WWE, AEW, or overseas.

The 6'4, 285 lb heavyweight would be a massive star for Breakker to face and beat. He's the only wrestler to have won the WCW World Heavyweight, WWE World Heavyweight, and Universal Championships. A win against a legendary star with that resume could propel the son of Rick Steiner into superstardom.

Goldberg's WWE retirement match could lead to surprise Brock Lesnar return

Goldberg looks to be close to riding off into the sunset but wants one last match. Since Brock Lesnar hasn't competed since SummerSlam 2023, it's doubtful that it will come against his longtime rival.

The Beast has been absent since last summer, and fans await a potential return. He could still get involved in the WCW icon's retirement by coming to his aid when Bron Breakker continues his heel shenanigans. A potential spear-off could commence between the three.

Breakker could continue attacking Goldberg after their match finishes with him victorious. He could snub a passing of the torch moment before Brock Lesnar takes to the ring to F5 the WWE RAW star. It would be a nice send-off for the 2018 WWE Hall of Famer and could lead to the Beast Incarnate being next for Bron.

Lesnar and the WCW legend have a ton of history that involves controversy from previous departures from the company. They have faced off at two WrestleManias and put on one of the most shocking main events in history at Survivor Series 2016.
