Bill Goldberg has expressed disappointment over not receiving a promised retirement match from WWE after his last appearance against Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber 2022, where he was recovering from COVID-19. He believed that by agreeing to face Reigns, he had done WWE a favor, expecting reciprocation in the form of a farewell match, which has not materialized. Goldberg stated he could arrange a match independently if he truly desired one, indicating a willingness to wrestle in various locations including India or Japan. He has begun training again and is undergoing stem cell treatments but does not foresee a return to WWE. Additionally, Goldberg reflected on his infamous match against The Undertaker at Super ShowDown 2019, which was marred by injuries and miscalculations, calling it a reckless performance on his part. He admitted to suffering multiple concussions during that match, which he and others have since recognized as a cautionary tale in wrestling.
