Goldberg has stated that he is looking to retire on his own terms this year. It has also been rumored that a 'world tour' is being planned for the former Universal Champion's retirement. However, there is only one man who should be the one to retire him, and that is his on and off-screen rival, Chris Jericho.

The real-life heat between Bill Goldberg and Jericho spilled over into public spats and exchanges on social media platforms. Both wrestlers have taken shots at each other, publicly airing their grievances and intensifying their rivalry. These exchanges have only fueled the fire, keeping fans intrigued and invested in their ongoing conflict.

The two never got along when they worked together in WCW, with Goldberg feeling Jericho tried to undermine him and didn't want to job to him even though he was the bigger star. The two also had a physical altercation in WWE when Bill allegedly grabbed Jericho by the throat, and the current AEW star responded by attacking the former WCW Champion.

With the former WCW Champion no longer under a WWE contract, he should sign with AEW, as there is a lot of interest to see him there. Both these legends can turn their real-life animosity into a spectacular on-screen feud leading to Golberg's retirement match.

Why did Goldberg and Chris Jericho have a fight in WWE?

Jericho has often spoken about how he did not get along with Bill. In his book Undisputed: How to Become World Champ in 1,372 Easy Steps, he talked about his physical fight with Goldberg when he joined WWE. He revealed that Vince McMahon had told him to 'help' Bill but the former Universal Champion was looking for an argument with Jericho.

'‘You’re totally wrong about th—’ Before I could finish the sentence, Goldfish grunted like a Neanderthal (the vein in his neck now resembling a corpulent slug) and grabbed me by the throat,'' recounted Jericho.

The Ocho and The Myth are both respected veterans of the industry and can use this storied past of theirs to create a new story that will hook the fans. Stories that have risen out of reality always work well in the industry and add the star power of the two former World Champions.
