Goldberg Struggling With Reality of Final WWE Match

Goldberg is preparing for the final match of his career, but mentally, the WWE Hall of Famer admits he’s struggling with the reality of saying goodbye to the ring.

During an interview with My San Antonio, the 58-year-old wrestling icon didn’t just talk about his physical condition—he peeled back the curtain on the emotional and psychological weight of preparing for a farewell that’s been decades in the making.

“I don’t know what’s going on. How do you prepare for the end? It’s morbid to me.”

That line alone shows just how deeply Goldberg is feeling the pressure. While he’s always been known for his explosive power and intensity, he admits he can’t perform at the same level anymore—and pushing too hard could come at a cost.

“I’m an extremely violent person. And if I get in [the ring] and let my body do the things I used to be able to do, I’m going to rip my shoulder out.”

To stay sharp, Goldberg has turned to Muay Thai training. But rather than finding peace through the discipline, he says the constant grind only adds more stress.

“It’s good in that it always ups your game, but it’s bad in that you never enjoy yourself.”

Still, he’s holding out hope that something will click once he finally steps back into the ring for one last match.

“Maybe I will enjoy myself in the ring, I don’t know, maybe we’ll see.”

Goldberg previously confirmed he’s signed off on the creative for his final match, revealing it will take place “in the South”—a move that eliminates SummerSlam in New Jersey as a possibility. WWE is reportedly working toward a meaningful sendoff by the end of 2025, and names like GUNTHER are already being floated as potential opponents.

Whether this match is a violent farewell or a reflective celebration, Goldberg’s words make one thing clear—this isn’t just another comeback. It’s the emotional climax of a career that changed the business.
