Goldberg’s appearance at Bad Blood 2024 stirred up speculations about WWE re-hiring him for the retirement match that he’s been looking for such a long time. However, since no such follow-up was provided on WWE TV regarding the bygone angle, a predicted match for him in Saudi Arabia was canceled. In changed circumstances, it appears that he’s still scheduled for a match.

As mentioned above, Goldberg was one of the names who made a surprise return to WWE television during Bad Blood. Being in attendance at the show, GUNTHER insulted him by calling him a “one-trick pony” to provoke a fight. The old-school veteran tried to answer the challenge but the security intervened while Sami Zayn took the opportunity to attack GUNTHER.
There have been rumors that Goldberg will possibly interfere in the scheduled title match between Zayn and GUNTHER, two nights later on Raw. However, nothing such occurred and the possibility of the former Universal Champion coming back for a match at Crown Jewel was further ruled out.
