Goldberg has been a free agent since his contract with WWE expired. During an interview with Fightful’s paywall, Sean Sapp revealed his take on AEW signing Goldberg.
“The signing is not Goldberg, although I can tell you that there have been talks, they have definitely had some conversations. I mean everyone’s asking about Will Ospreay and stuff. I can tell you this. Last year AEW came to terms with Chris Jericho. This year came to terms with Kenny Omega, Hangman Page and the Young Bucks. If Ospreay lands there, well guess who else Barry Bloom reps? Goldberg.”
Fans are excited to see Goldberg return, his latest news shows that the WWE Hall of Famer can return for one more run. What kinds of opponents would he face or will he sign in AEW in the future.
