Bill Goldberg chatted with Ariel Helwani about his awkward farewell moment in WWE during 'Saturday Night's Main Event.'

Goldberg is grateful WWE gave him the opportunity for a retirement match, but things didn't turn out exactly how the wrestler intended.

WWE fans watching the live broadcast of Saturday Night's Main Event XL on NBC didn't get to see Goldberg's full retirement speech after the show went off the air.

Just days after his retirement match, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has revealed that he recently put a stop to his son, Gage, signing a deal with WWE. In a new interview, Goldberg stated that the financial offer made to his son was not acceptable, adding another layer of intrigue to his recent, complicated exit from the company.

Gunther submitted Goldberg via rear-naked choke in the main event of WWE Saturday Night's Main Event. This marked Goldberg's last match (for now).

Goldberg long wanted a final match in WWE to act as his official retirement bout, one last chance to do something special in front of his friends and family. He got just that at tonight’s (Sat., July 12, 2025) Saturday Night’s Main Event special in Atlanta, Georgia, in a world heavyweight championship match against GUNTHER.

After an epic clash with Goldberg that shook the WWE Universe, Gunther’s path of dominance remains far from over. The Ring General has firmly established himself as one of the most feared forces in WWE, and now fans are left wondering: who’s next?

Goldberg’s final match took place at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event XL, where he challenged GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship.
