#1 Eric Bischoff wants to see Goldberg at All In 2023

AEW is set to present All In at Wembley Stadium in London, England, on August 27, 2023. The show has already created history as it has sold over 80,000 tickets, setting new attendance and revenue records.

Eric Bischoff stated on the 83 Weeks podcast that he would like to see former Universal Champion Goldberg make his AEW debut at the high-profile show.

"I think Goldberg would be a big surprise, and it would be exciting. I would get a kick out of that. Sasha [Mercedes Mone] would be huge. Someone that was a huge star in WWE over the last couple of years –- whether it is Goldberg or more so Sasha Banks, she was more of a regular part of WWE –- either one of them would be a huge surprise."

Goldberg's last match in World Wrestling Entertainment was against Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber 2022. His contract with the company has expired, and the WCW legend is a free agent as of now. Fans are eager to see him join AEW and give the company some memorable performances before he eventually hangs up his boots.
