WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg continues to make headlines after he became a free agent following his contract end with Standford’s company. Earlier he claimed that WWE owes him a retirement match. However, WWE didn’t seem to pay heed to Goldberg’s requests, making room for the possibility of his AEW debut.
Fans have been making buzz about the former Heavyweight Champion joining Tony Khan’s promotion for a while now. Currently, it seems like Impact Wrestling is the latest addition to the list of future possibilities for the 56-year-old star.

Goldberg’s days of dominance over the opponents have clearly gone. Referring to that, some even mocked the former Hall of Famer for considering impact wrestling as his last left option.
Take him. Nobody enjoys his matches

Go to impact. Stay away from everywhere else.

Tony Khan addresses Bill Goldberg’s free-agent status
Goldberg’s AEW debut possibility did not fade out completely as Tony Khan refused to rule out the potential in his last interview with The Bet. Khan has been asked whether he would allow the former WCW icon to be an all Elite. Khan replied, ‘I Have a lot of respect for Bill. I think Bill Goldberg is a great professional athlete and has had a great career in pro wrestling and is a very nice person. He’s a household name in pro wrestling, so it’s interesting to hear that he is a free agent, so that’s something to follow. He’s one of the biggest names in wrestling and certainly will be something else to keep an eye on for us.’
