WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg is set to make his return to WWE programming on this coming Monday’s episode of RAW in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
According to a new report from PWInsiderElite.com, Goldberg will be appearing regularly on RAW to build towards his long-awaited retirement match. This return comes just one week after his likely opponent, GUNTHER, won back the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Goldberg’s Final Match
While not officially announced by WWE, it is heavily rumored that Goldberg’s final match will take place at the Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12 in Atlanta, Georgia. His opponent is expected to be GUNTHER, finally paying off an angle that began at WWE Bad Blood in October 2024 when Goldberg hopped the barricade to confront him.
Goldberg has been training intensely for his farewell match at the Black Diamond Martial Arts facility in Texas. On his podcast, he has been candid about dealing with several injuries during his training as he works to get into peak condition to deliver the full Goldberg experience one last time.

Speaking on WWE La Previa last year, GUNTHER spoke about the possibility of Goldberg wrestling again.
“I was invited out there to speak about the Crown Jewel Championship, and we had a lot of legends in the house, and I met a lot of them backstage. One of the very few I didn’t meet that I just saw was there before was Goldberg.
So when our eyes crossed, basically I was like, why not break some balls a little bit? [What] I’ve done [to] him, he doesn’t seem to be able to take things lightly. I tried to lighten up the mood a little bit, but it’s…if push comes to shove, and he thinks he wants to get back into the business and wrestle again, then I’m happy to teach him a lesson,” Gunther said.
Goldberg’s Recent WWE Career
Since returning to WWE in 2016, Goldberg has had several high-profile runs, often competing for world championships. He defeated Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship in 2017, leading to a match with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33. He won the same title for a second time in 2020 by defeating “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at Super ShowDown.
His last match in WWE was at the Elimination Chamber event in February 2022, where he unsuccessfully challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship. His return to face the current World Heavyweight Champion, GUNTHER, sets the stage for a massive, cross-generational main event for his final bow.
