Goldberg Desperate To Have Match With Roman Reigns In WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg is doing rounds on the internet for the past few days or so as he’s on a promotion spree. He recently spoke with Graham Matthews of Bleacher Report to promote his new WWE Untold documentary, which premiered this past Sunday. The contents of this series deal with the story of his legendary streak in WCW.

While re-visiting the past, Goldberg also seemed focus on the future where he is guaranteed to perform in at least a few matches over the past couple of years in WWE. He revealed, earlier this year, that his WWE contract runs through 2023 with two matches per year. He will be 57 years old by the time that contract expires.

But the interesting thing is that that it’s still possible that he will keep wrestling past that point for WWE. But then again it would only be for a few more years. While some might see these matches as WWE tarnishing his legacy, Goldberg still thinks to bring a lot to the table. So he doesn’t have regrets for competing inside that squared circle.

“We always have to cross that bridge when we come to it,” Goldberg said of his plans for the future after 2023. “I’m 53 years old, I’ll be 54 here in a couple of weeks. Hey, as long as my body can still do it, I’m still going to do it. It’s very tough because being a power wrestler at this age, I’m not the person I was back in the past. You have that sense of, ‘Oh, am I ruining my legacy?’ Well, you know what? I still have to put food on the table for my family.”

Goldberg has already wrestled his two obligatory matches for WWE in 2020. Now, he is rumored to challenge WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37 next year. Previously during an appearance at WWE’s The Bump, he challenged The Tribal Chief for a match. Now, he again confirmed that a match with Reigns is at the top of his priority list.

“If the Roman Reigns match isn’t the match at the top of my priority list, then I wouldn’t be Goldberg,” he said. “That’s a match that needs to happen. It’s a match that’s needed to happen for a very long period of time.

“I wish I would’ve been able to have that match 10 years ago. People in hell want ice water, too. You can’t have everything the way you want it, but I think I can still be a very formidable opponent for him. Georgia will always be better than Georgia Tech at the end of the day, anyway.”

This match was originally supposed to happen at WrestleMania 36 for the Universal Championship but then the COVID-19 pandemic forced the plans to change. Apart from Reigns, Goldberg also expressed interest in having matches with three RAW Superstars – Randy Orton, Keith Lee, and WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.
