WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has sparked speculation about a potential Brock Lesnar showdown with a cryptic tease on social media, just ahead of the anticipated Brock Lesnar WWE Night of Champions event. As Goldberg gears up for his scheduled retirement match, conversations among fans continue to intensify surrounding his final trajectory in the ring.
Goldberg’s Social Media Hint Fuels Rumors Before Night of Champions
After announcing in 2025 that he intends for his next match to be his last, Goldberg’s potential opponent for his WWE finale became a topic of intense discussion. The scenario took a turn when Goldberg made an unannounced appearance on RAW on June 16, 2025, coming face-to-face with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. Their encounter led to a highly anticipated championship match scheduled for Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12.
However, excitement built up further when Goldberg, just before the WWE Night of Champions event set for June 28, posted a clip on X featuring his memorable battle against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2016. He did not include any text, but the choice of video stoked fan theories that Goldberg could be hinting at another confrontation with “The Beast Incarnate.” The Triple H-led creative team’s upcoming plans have only added to the anticipation.
Uncertainty Surrounds Goldberg’s Retirement and Future Plans
The question of whether Goldberg will truly make Saturday Night’s Main Event his final match looms large. In a recent discussion with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Senior Editor Bill Apter, Goldberg’s son Gage weighed in on his father’s mindset and future intentions.
“I couldn’t even tell you because he has, I wish I had his confidence, 100%. Because he has, like, anything can happen to him, and it would just go right over his head. He is still confident as ever, and win or lose, he is gonna get the itch again that he wants to stay in the ring.”

This insight suggests that even after a high-stakes match against Gunther, Goldberg may reconsider retirement if the urge to compete resurfaces. While the encounter with Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event is billed as his swan song, the ambiguity surrounding Goldberg’s comments and social media activity keeps fans and insiders alike guessing about his continued involvement in professional wrestling and the WWE storyline fabric.
Implications for WWE Fans and the Brock Lesnar WWE Night of Champions Event
With WWE Night of Champions fast approaching and Goldberg fueling buzz about Brock Lesnar, all eyes remain locked on what the company’s Hall of Famer might do next. The ongoing speculation not only amplifies fan excitement but also raises stakes surrounding both his “retirement match” and the company’s marquee events. Should Goldberg decide to postpone retirement, or if another face-off with Brock Lesnar materializes, it could significantly alter the WWE landscape and captivate audiences worldwide.
