Golberg's last opponent could be 330 lbs WWE star, veteran explains why
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is set to have his retirement match in 2025. Recently, wrestling legend Tommy Dreamer shared his two cents on who should possibly face Da Man in his last-ever match.
A heated confrontation between World Heavyweight Champion Gunther and Bill Goldberg unfolded at Bad Blood. Following the premium live event, fans began speculating about a potential high-stakes match between the two. Then, on November 2, 2024, the former WWE Universal Champion announced his retirement from professional wrestling. He revealed that he will have one final match in 2025.
Speaking on the Busted Open podcast, Tommy Dreamer noted the 330-pound Bronson Reed should be Goldberg's final opponent. The veteran thinks this would be a good opportunity to elevate a younger talent and that Da Man doesn't need to retire on a winning streak:
"I think maybe Bronson Reed because to help put a younger talent over. I don't know if they [WWE] need Goldberg going out on top," he said.
Dreamer added:
"Gunther is easy as well for kind of what they had talked about; don't know if that's a main marquee matchup." [From 00:10 to 00:39]
