• Tony Khan On Signing Free Agent Goldberg To AEW
As we reported recently, Goldberg’s contract with WWE has expired and he is currently a Free Agent.
Goldberg noted in an interview earlier this month that WWE owes him a retirement match.
If WWE doesn’t give Goldberg a retirement match, AEW might.
During an interview with The Bet Las Vegas & The Sporting Tribune, AEW President Tony Khan was asked if he’d be open to bringing the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion to All Elite Wrestling.
Below is what Khan said:
“I have a lot of respect for Bill. I think Bill Goldberg is a great professional athlete and has had a great career in pro wrestling. He is a very nice person.
I think he’s a household name in pro wrestling. And certainly, that’s interesting to hear that Bill is a free agent. That’s something to follow.
He’s one of the biggest names in wrestling and certainly will be something else to keep an eye on for us. We have so many great wrestlers in AEW and so many exciting things happening in AEW week-to-week that it’s always an exciting time.
Bill is an exceptionally exciting name and one of the biggest names in the sport. Certainly, it’s a big thing for us to pay attention to, so I would take notice of that.”
