Massive Goldberg injury update following setback (Exclusive)

Former WWE Universal Champion Goldberg has had a storied career in professional wrestling. He was a huge hit among fans when he first broke into the business in the late '90s, with his undefeated streak still fondly remembered by many.

Da Man has announced in the past that he will return to WWE sometime in 2025 to have a final match. The 58-year-old has been away from the ring for a while and wants to retire on his terms. The potential plans for his retirement bout were seemingly in jeopardy after he suffered an injury.

Addressing the situation on WrestleVotes Q&A on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, WrestleVotes said the aforementioned injury wasn't serious. He assured fans that Goldberg should be good to go in the ring when required.

"He was training, I don't think he did anything serious, but maybe a little setback, so hopefully when the bell rings whenever this match happens, he's good to go," WrestleVotes said. [From 27:20 onwards]

Fans have been waiting eagerly for a match between Goldberg and current WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther for a long time. If the legend can get fit enough to get in the ring, he can have a solid retirement match against the Austrian.
