Why is Bill Goldberg retiring? WWE star says 'I've got a life to live'
Jun 28, 2025 03:13 PM IST WWE champion Bill Goldberg officially announced his retirement from the sport during a recent appearance on an episode of the CarCast podcast. The two-time WWE Universal Champion discussed his journey in the sport and reasons for retirement during the conversation. He is scheduled to compete against Gunther in the upcoming WWE Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta- a match that may just prove to be his last. WWE star Bill Goldberg confirmed his retirement. (X) Goldberg cited a desire to lead a more laid back life as reason for calling it quits. 'I've a life to live. I have a family and I have responsibilities. You know there's a lot you got to do at one point. I don't have anyone helping anymore. I've got my agents, but I don't have assistance, and I don't have anybody working under the roof other than myself. It's tough to be able to fit everything in. But there will be a lull after this match. I won't be wrestling anymore,' he said. He even pointed out his stem cell treatment as the reason he was able to return for one last match in the tournament. 'If Bioxcellerator didn't hook me up with the stem cells, I don't think I'd be able to be doing this. So that was something I strategically needed to place at the beginning so I could chill and then slowly get back into training and get my shoulder back, and hopefully get my knee back, and keep my spine aligned. There's a lot that goes into it, and I got to be a human being along the way,' he added.

Goldberg Opens Up About Knee Issues, Recent Injuries Ahead Of WWE Retirement Match
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg revealed that his knee complications have made it difficult for him to prepare ahead of his final match. Despite this setback, he is working diligently to stage the last bout of his illustrious three-decade career. He has hinted that the match will take place 'down south' before the year's end. The reports indicate that WWE creative has recently discussed his retirement plans. The match is tentatively scheduled for Atlanta, a city that holds significant meaning in his career. Advertisement On a recent episode of the CarCast podcast, Goldberg revealed that he already knows the date of his retirement match. Goldberg also admitted that the last few months have been physically challenging, as he suffered multiple injuries during training. 'I hurt myself a couple times in the past three months. But, I pulled back and it's really tough to have the mentality I do but to have the body that I do now, with the mileage on it and then go into the Muay Thai gym and hit the pads and not go crazy and then blow (your) shoulder out and blow your bicep out and pull your hamstring from throwing a high kick. There's a huge balance. I've been in the ring a couple times. I'm gonna get in the ring again today and it's just tough, man. Me doing that right there, that was the first day that I felt really good.' [H/T: Fightful] Goldberg details his grueling routine ahead of his retirement match Goldberg says he often sets unrealistic goals for himself, which makes things tougher on him. Advertisement 'I gained some good weight, I was almost up to 270 and I had to back off because I could not function. I just couldn't do it, I felt horrible, I wasn't able to move around, I (was) just sluggish, you know? And so, I changed the diet back a little bit… Man, I'm never gonna be the way that I used to be by any stretch of the imagination. But dammit, for a 58-year-old guy, I'm gonna be in some seriously freakin' awesome shape and I'm gonna freak some people out I believe and hopefully my performance is equal to my appearance which hopefully, you know, is okay. I'm terrified to put those underwear, those trunks on again. I may even go with different kind of trunks, for the only time in my life.' Goldberg 'can't run without pain' 'And then there's another thing. I'm extremely limited because of my left knee. I can't run. I mean, I can run, but it hurts. So I'm not gonna exacerbate the pain by going out and running. I'm on a sprint bike and I'm doing different stuff for my cardio. The kickboxing doesn't hurt that much because I'm not running. But, you find ways around things and I mean, the scenario's not perfect by any stretch so you gotta work around stuff. Hell, I'm working around my shoulder that you remember six months ago, I couldn't do this (lift my arm).' 'I'm pretty frickin' strong now, I mean, comparatively and it's funny because ever since we moved here, I haven't been able to use my arm for five years. I just didn't use it because it hurt so bad and I've had to retrain myself to do the normal, daily things and use my arm, and that's what's gotten me back into it. It's just not favoring it by any stretch and not having it be a hindrance by any means and going out of my way to do everything with my right hand as opposed to before; everything with my left hand… I became a lefty as a kid because I broke my right arm.'

Goldberg Provides Concerning Update Ahead Of WWE Retirement Match
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is navigating an intense and challenging preparation for his final match under the WWE banner, providing candid updates on his CarCast podcast. He revealed he knows the undisclosed date for his 2025 retirement but is facing significant physical hurdles at age 58. "I know the date (of my retirement match). No one else knows the date public-wise," Goldberg stated (H/T to Fightful). He described the unique undertaking: "And so, at my age, you obviously have to do a lot of different things to get yourself prepared for what I'm about to embark upon... it's uncharted water because not many people my age have done this." His goal is to deliver a performance true to his legacy. "I'm not just showing up to show up. I need to show up and be me and I've tapped into me a little bit more as of late." However, the path has been fraught with difficulties. "...my training, with all injuries and with my age, it makes it extremely difficult to get prepared without going overboard... I hurt myself a couple times in the past three months. But, I pulled back," he admitted. Goldberg emphasized the struggle to balance his warrior mentality with his body's current limitations, especially during Muay Thai training. "It's really tough to have the mentality I do but to have the body that I do now, with the mileage on it... There's a huge balance."

I was almost up to 270 and I had to back off because I could not function. I felt horrible," he recounted, explaining he has since adjusted his diet. He is determined to impress in his farewell. "Man, I'm never gonna be the way that I used to be by any stretch of the imagination. But dammit, for a 58-year-old guy, I'm gonna be in some seriously awesome shape and I'm gonna freak some people out I believe," Goldberg stated.

I can't run... it hurts," he said, noting he uses a sprint bike for cardio. He's also rehabbing a right shoulder that has troubled him for five years: "Hell, I'm working around my shoulder that... six months ago, I couldn't do this (lift my arm). I'm pretty strong now... I haven't been able to use my arm for five years... and I've had to retrain myself to do the normal, daily things."
