A WWE legend has backed Goldberg to make a comeback to pro wrestling despite his retirement match at Saturday Night's Main Event XL. Da Man went up against Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Though the WWE Hall of Famer fell short, he was still praised for his performance.
While the contest was heavily billed as Goldberg's final match, former WWE commentator Jim Ross believes Da Man will make his return to the ring in one way or another.
Speaking on his Grilling JR with Jim Ross podcast, the legendary commentator was asked about his thoughts on the former Universal Champion's wrestling future.
“I think somewhere down the road, now I don’t know exactly what the presentation is gonna be, but I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Goldberg. I think if he’s booked correctly, not overexposed, he’s with the right opponent, you dress that match up with the right opponent, Billy could be certainly back in the hunt for something. He’s proven that he draws. He still draws, he’s a very unique talent,” he said. [From 58:30-59:00]

Jim Ross mentioned that with smart booking, the 58-year-old can continue wrestling, whether it is for AEW or any other promotion.
Goldberg's retirement in front of his family and friends may seem like a fitting send-off, but the former WCW Champion wasn't pleased with how things came to a close last Saturday.
Goldberg is unhappy with his WWE send-off
Following his match with Gunther, Goldberg was accompanied by his family and friends in the ring as he bid goodbye with a farewell speech. However, on live TV, his speech was cut off just 30 seconds in.
Speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, the Hall of Famer voiced his frustrations around what he felt went wrong with his farewell run.
"Let's just say I'm pi**ed off at the way I went out. I put so much into it, and I don't feel as though the effort was reciprocated to put a stamp on what I've accomplished. I'm not gonna say that I'm not ecstatic about the opportunity that I got, but I was a WCW guy, man. I was — I don't know, man. I don't know. I think it could have been done a little bit differently," he said. [14:38-15:15]
With the WCW legend being unhappy with how things ended in WWE for his final match, there remains the possibility of him returning to the ring one more time.
