It’s pretty common for a former wrestler to get his feet back in the ring without putting in much effort. We have seen a handful of wrestlers return to the ring over the years except for former WWE wrestler Ryback. He was fired by the Stamford-based company back in 2016 and hasn’t been seen on the professional wrestling scene ever since.
But it seems like this time Ryback is laser-focused to be back in the ring very soon. Not only did he make up his mind for his comeback but also issued an open challenge to the former WWE superstar Goldberg for a match as his next opponent.

Lately, the former multi-time WCW champion, Goldberg, made noise regarding his one last match inside the squared circle. Previously, the Hall of Famer noted that WWE owed him a retirement match. While the company didn’t address this, Goldberg even expressed his wish to go outside of the company to make it happen.
There was much speculation in wrestling world regarding who can be the best opponent for the 56-year-old former superstar. AEW champion MJF emerged as the rumored opponent of him over the internet at one time.

He wrote. ”I will be cleared this summer to officially return to wrestling. I challenge @Goldberg in my return to a Retirement Match. #Ryback #Hungry#FeedMeMore.”
