Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is gearing up for his final in-ring performance. While full details remain under wraps, he recently shared his original "dream" location for the match and offered insights into his current plans. Appearing on The Claw podcast with Ross and Marshall Von Erich, Goldberg discussed his connection with Wrestling Israel and his personal aspirations. "I'll do anything for my faith," Goldberg stated. "Truth be told, my dream was to have my retirement match in Israel. Quite obviously, because of the surroundings right now and over the past five years, it just hasn't been the right place to do it. I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that I was sorely disappointed that I couldn't do something in Israel, but retired doesn't mean dead."

Never say never, but we've been trying to do it for the past number of years and it didn't work out. Fingers crossed, that's all you can do." While Israel was his dream, current indications and Goldberg's recent comments to MySA suggest his actual retirement match will be "in the South." Sources speaking with Fightful Select have indicated Atlanta is the city tentatively planned for this farewell bout.

LAS VEGAS, NV - JULY 08: Bill Goldberg speaks at the roundtable panel during HISTORY's Live Event 'Evel Live' at Omnia Nightclub at Caesars Palace on July 8, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. This aligns with Goldberg's deep history with Georgia, having played for the University of Georgia and the Atlanta Falcons, and his WCW career being based there. His last major WWE appearance was at Bad Blood in Atlanta on October 5, 2024, where he confronted then-World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER after verbal jabs were directed at his family, teasing a potential future clash. Adding another layer of intrigue, WWE Saturday Night's Main Event is internally slated for Saturday, July 12, 2025, in Atlanta. This date is notably the same day as AEW All In" in Texas. Although AEW's event is scheduled for the afternoon, WWE's special expected in the evening. Goldberg has been training for months and reportedly has some creative control over the rollout for his final match announcement. The match that makes the most sense would be against GUNTHER. However, WWE has yet to announce it. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
