WWE sets plans for Goldberg’s return, possible return date revealed
Dave Meltzer reveals that Bill Goldberg’s final match may not take place at WrestleMania 41, despite plans for a showdown with Gunther.

According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline, Bill Goldberg will make his WWE return on the January 27 episode of RAW in Atlanta, Georgia, marking the second episode of the red brand on Netflix.
The WWE Hall of Famer, who has confirmed his retirement for 2025, had a confrontation with Gunther during WWE Bad Blood 2024.
The segment involved Gunther, and that was the planned match. I assume it wouldn’t be for the title. WrestleMania 41 makes sense, but it was never confirmed to us that it would take place at that show
Logan Paul Could Face Gunther at WrestleMania 41
Another trusted source, Mike Johnson of PWInsider, reports that WWE is internally discussing the possibility of Logan Paul challenging Gunther at WrestleMania 41. Initial hints at this potential clash surfaced during RAW on Netflix, where Paul expressed interest in the World Heavyweight Championship.
Gunther responded to Logan Paul’s comments during the show:
He’s obviously very athletically gifted. But I don’t believe being World Heavyweight Champion is one of his talents. If Logan Paul thinks he can come here and take this from me—if he earns his spot to challenge me for the World Heavyweight Championship—it will be my duty and pleasure to wipe that silly grin off his face.
According to Johnson, while nothing is set in stone, the idea is gaining traction within WWE’s creative circles. Meanwhile, WrestlePurists.com reports that a match between Gunther and Seth Rollins is also being considered for WrestleMania.

Goldberg May Face Current WWE World Champion in Retirement Match
Following Gunther’s continued attacks on Jey Uso on WWE RAW, speculation emerges that Triple H might bring back Goldberg to neutralize The Ring General.

WWE RAW featured another attack by Gunther on Jey Uso this week, continuing a pattern of weekly assaults by The Ring General on his WrestleMania opponent.
The event aired live from Madison Square Garden and included these confrontations alongside the main event steel cage match between Seth Rollins and CM Punk.
Jey Uso has been repeatedly overwhelmed by Gunther, with the confrontations becoming increasingly personal. The attacks have become so consistent that speculation has emerged about potential interventions to address the situation.
Goldberg could potentially be brought in by Triple H to counter these attacks. Despite being mostly retired, the three-time world champion remains in exceptional physical condition and could present a credible threat to Gunther.
The Hall of Famer’s presence could change the dynamic of this rivalry, as his reputation and physical presence might give Gunther reason to reconsider his weekly ambushes on Uso.
This potential return would represent Goldberg’s first WWE appearance in some time, and would insert him into one of the company’s featured WrestleMania storylines.

Brock Lesnar Reportedly Disrupting Plans for Goldberg’s Retirement Match in WWE
Reports of Goldberg’s planned 2025 retirement match emerge alongside questions about Brock Lesnar’s WWE future following his connection to legal matters involving Vince McMahon.

Goldberg has announced plans for a retirement match in 2025, potentially during the summer, as fans speculate whether WWE legend Brock Lesnar might be his final opponent. The Hall of Famer has been absent from in-ring competition since his last match at the 2022 Elimination Chamber.
The WCW icon recently shared content on Instagram reminiscing about his January 23, 2017 interaction with Lesnar on RAW, prompting further discussion about a potential final showdown between the two dominant competitors.
Current circumstances may prevent Lesnar from participating in this retirement scenario. The Beast Incarnate has not appeared on WWE television since the 2023 SummerSlam, and his name has been connected to legal matters involving former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.
Recent reports indicate Lesnar’s return prospects are minimal following his inclusion in the amended lawsuit against McMahon earlier this year. This development significantly reduces the likelihood of him sharing the ring with Goldberg for the latter’s farewell match.
While Goldberg’s last match occurred in 2022, his most recent WWE appearance took place at Bad Blood in 2024. The Hall of Famer was seated in the audience with his family and nearly confronted Gunther after The Ring General directed personal comments toward him during the show.

Controversial Ex-WWE Champion Says He Plans to Retire Goldberg if He Returns
Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ryback identifies retiring Bill Goldberg as his main goal for potential in-ring return, focusing on “new blood” afterward.

Ryback has identified retiring Bill Goldberg as his primary objective if he returns to professional wrestling.
When asked on social media about a potential return to the ring, Ryback stated his intentions regarding the WWE Hall of Famer.
That’s easy. Retire Bill Goldberg and then I can worry about the new blood and that’s the last bite. Feed me more.
Goldberg is scheduled to compete in his final match in 2025, giving potential substance to Ryback’s stated goal.
Ryback has not wrestled since 2016, which coincides with his departure from WWE.
Despite periodically teasing a return to wrestling over the years, Ryback previously conducted social media polls that resulted in fans indicating they did not want to see him compete again.
Ryback has made various claims against WWE since his departure, including allegations that Triple H altered plans to undermine him, though he has not provided evidence to support these statements.
