Current WWE Superstar Bronson Reed has seemingly put WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg on notice. The two men, however, have never crossed paths in the industry.
The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion's last match was against Roman Reigns at the 2022 Elimination Chamber. Da Man failed to dethrone The Tribal Chief for the Universal Championship in Saudi Arabia. After that, Goldberg's WWE contract expired, and the two parties did not negotiate a new deal.
Recently, Monday Night RAW star Bronson Reed subtly called out the 57-year-old legend. At this year's King and Queen of the Ring PLE, the 330-pound star was involved in the Intercontinental Championship match against Sami Zayn and Chad Gable. However, he failed to capture the IC title in the Triple Threat match.
'Big' Bronson Reed recently took to his Instagram handle and shared a cryptic post. The third slide of the former NXT North American Champion's post shows a Bret Hart Simpsons cartoon character almost spray painting "Goldberg s**ks" on the wall. The 330-pound star referenced the infamous heated rivalry between Da Man and The Hitman that ignited at Starrcade 1999.

WWE veteran Goldberg takes a massive shot at Bret Hart
Bret Hart has not forgiven the former Universal Champion for the infamous superkick he delivered at WCW Starrcade 1999. This incident forced The Hitman to hang his boots from professional wrestling once and for all.
During an appearance on The Von Erich podcast, Bill Goldberg spoke about how today's wrestling landscape is different from the past. The WWE Hall of Famer then also took a shot at Hart, calling him a "moron."
"Granted, unfortunately, a couple times, Steiner, I’m not even gonna mention his name, but the moron I kicked in the head, but unfortunately, things like that happen," he said.
