WWE has witnessed several intense rivalries, but few have matched the ferocity of the one between veteran Brock Lesnar and Goldberg. Their clashes have always been highly anticipated, with fans eagerly tuning in whenever these two powerhouses collided. While Lesnar is known for living a quiet, private life and keeping his distance from social media, Goldberg frequently shares updates and reflections about his career in interviews.
At SummerSlam 2023, Lesnar suffered a defeat against Cody Rhodes. Since then, he has not been seen on WWE television. Meanwhile, Goldberg is preparing for his final match in WWE, as part of his retirement plan. Lesnar’s return to WWE now seems unlikely, but Goldberg recently made a surprising revelation about their personal relationship.
What Did WWE Veteran Goldberg Say?
In an interview with The Claw Pod, Goldberg spoke candidly about his relationship with Lesnar. He described it as “very respectful” and “humble.” Goldberg stated, “We are good friends. We’re not in frequent contact because Brock loves solitude. That’s just his nature.”
Despite their fierce on-screen rivalry, the two legends share mutual respect. Their feud originally began in 2004 and culminated at WrestleMania XX. When Goldberg returned to WWE 12 years later, he reignited the rivalry. At Survivor Series 2016, Goldberg shocked the WWE Universe by defeating Lesnar in under two minutes. Their final match took place at WrestleMania 33, where Lesnar defeated Goldberg to win the WWE Universal Championship.
Who Will Goldberg Face in His Retirement Match?
Back in November 2024, Goldberg announced that he would wrestle his retirement match in WWE in 2025. At Bad Blood 2024, Gunther took several verbal shots at Goldberg in a special segment, nearly leading to a confrontation before WWE officials intervened.
Since that moment, speculation has been growing that Goldberg’s final opponent could be Gunther. Fans are eagerly waiting to see when Goldberg will make his return to the ring. All signs point to something big being planned by WWE.
There is strong buzz that Goldberg’s retirement match will take place at Night of Champions 2025 in Saudi Arabia, an event where Goldberg has performed multiple times before.
