WWE’s NIL Offer to Goldberg’s Son Declined

After Goldberg's retirement match at WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event, WWE offered his son, Gage Goldberg, an NIL (Next In Line) deal while Gage pursues college football at the University of Colorado. Goldberg declined the offer, expressing dissatisfaction with its financial terms, but acknowledged Gage's wrestling potential. Despite this, Gage’s primary focus remains on football, with wrestling as a backup plan. WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H confirmed ongoing interest in Gage and highlighted his charisma and legacy potential. Gage has previously appeared in WWE programming and is viewed by fans and officials as a possible successor to his father's legacy. The development showcases WWE's targeted recruitment of elite athletes with wrestling family backgrounds.
