Fightful Select has an update on a rumor that Goldberg was about to sign a new WWE contract. According to sources close to the WWE Hall of Famer and former Universal Champion, Goldberg getting a new contract is news to him.
The rumored contract was for two years and five guaranteed matches, with three matches against new talents he has yet to face. It would also mainly see Goldberg booked at Saudi Arabia and WrestleMania-type events. Sources close to him say this is not true. Specifically, they noted, “That would be news to his reps that negotiate those kinds of deals.”
Goldberg’s previous deal runs through the end of 2022. However, he has no matches left on his contract. Fightful noted while there’s a chance that Goldberg signs a new contract with WWE, his reps stated that has not happened yet.
The 55-year-old Goldberg last wrestled at WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia earlier in February. He lost to WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns via technical submission in a title match. It was reported that the Hall of Famer was not set for any WWE premium live events beyond his match with Reigns at Elimination Chamber.
