Goldberg Addresses “What’s Next” After WWE In-Ring Retirement

Goldberg isn’t looking for a next chapter—he’s just trying to enjoy the one he’s in.

After finishing his in-ring career at Saturday Night’s Main Event, the WWE Hall of Famer made it clear during an appearance on Real Talk with Mike Burke that he’s not planning a Hollywood jump or a surprise wrestling comeback. Instead, he’s enjoying something new: absolutely nothing.

While fans continue to ask what’s next, Goldberg admitted he’s just trying to relax and stay off the grid for a while.

“I don’t know, man. I’m just trying to relax right now. Everybody keeps asking me what’s next — nothing. I stopped. I took my underwear off, you know? My slogan was ‘Who’s next?’ Well, now it’s ‘Next’ or ‘What’s left,’ you know?”

Goldberg said he’s been spending time with his cars and enjoying his YouTube channel, Goldberg’s Garage. While the channel hasn’t been updated much lately due to his final match prep, he plans to dive back in soon—with no wrestling on the agenda.

“I don’t know. I’m enjoying this. Yeah, I’m enjoying this YouTube thing with my cars because I need to start doing it more regularly. I think I’ve done like three videos in six months because of the retirement match. But I’m just going to start fixing all my cars. No wrestling.”

As for those waiting on Goldberg to pop up in an action movie or a streaming series, it’s not happening—at least not right now.

“Well, certainly not for Expendables 12. They’re not calling right now. Like I said, I’m just completely relaxing at the moment because I haven’t done this before.”

After decades of punishment in the ring, Goldberg is finally slowing down, spending time with his family and living life on his own terms. And honestly, who can blame him?
