Goldberg Confirms Retirement Match Is Coming In 2025

Whether in WCW or in WWE, Bill Goldberg has been a force to be reckoned with in the ring, resulting in World Championship reigns over four decades. In recent years, Goldberg has been outspoken about wanting one final match before ending his in-ring career, and that match will come in 2025.

Appearing for SEC Nation, Goldberg was shown footage of his confrontation with GUNTHER from WWE Bad Blood 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia. The WWE Hall of Famer confirmed that he will have his retirement match next year and said the Austrian is the current front-runner to be his next “victim.” GUNTHER has been open to the match and has vowed to teach Goldberg a lesson should they get in the ring.

Given what transpired at Bad Blood, GUNTHER certainly makes sense as the opponent-of-choice for Goldberg. If not the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, WWE could build a compelling feu of spear vs. spear between Goldberg and Bron Breakker. The reigning Intercontinental Champion is part of the Steiner family, who are no strangers to Goldberg from his days back in WCW.

2025 is shaping up to be a huge year for WWE, as John Cena will also end his in-ring career over the next 12 months. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest from WWE on the farewells of Goldberg and Cena that will take place next year.

The reunion of Roman Reigns and The Usos proved to be in vain at WWE Crown Jewel as the trio fell victim to The Bloodline in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

At WWE’s latest event in Saudi Arabia, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu defeated Reigns, Jimmy, and Jey Uso with Sikoa getting the pinfall over the OTC. Reigns and The Usos formally reunited on this week’s SmackDown, albeit with Jey Uso making clear he hasn’t forgotten at the past.

After the match, Solo’s Bloodline continued their assault on Reigns and The Usos. This was interrupted by Sami Zayn, who teased aligning with Solo before attacking the new Tribal Chief. Reigns and The Usos recovered to fight back against the new Bloodline. When Sami went for a kick though, he accidentally clocked Reigns while Solo was able to escape.

WWE Crown Jewel is taking place from the Mohammad Abdo Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The card for the show is as follows:

  • Roman Reigns and The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga) (with Tonga Loa)
  • Cody Rhodes Vs. GUNTHER (WWE Crown Jewel Championship)
  • Nia Jax Vs. Liv Morgan (WWE Women’s Crown Jewel Championship)
  • Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Bronson Reed
  • Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens
  • LA Knight (c) vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes (WWE U.S. Championship)
  • Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair (c) vs. Damage CTRL (Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky) vs. Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson) vs. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven (WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship)

WWE Champ Gunther’s Warning to Goldberg: ‘I’m Happy to Teach Him a Lesson’

Gunther is gearing up for his big match against Cody Rhodes at WWE Crown Jewel, but the reigning World Heavyweight champion hasn’t forgotten about Bill Goldberg.

Goldberg was among the pro wrestling legends on hand for last month’s Bad Blood PLE from Atlanta, and brought his wife and son to the show. The 57-year-old legend wound up jumping the barricade and having an intense face-off with Gunther.

It looked like WWE was planting the seeds for potential match between them, and now Gunther is talking about the situation. During an interview with with La Previa (WWE Español), the Austrian Superstar said it was nice meeting all the legends in attendance that night, but felt compelled to playfully antagonize Goldberg when he first spotted him.

“I was invited out there to speak about the Crown Jewel Championship. We had a lot of legends in the house and I met a lot of them backstage. One of the very few I didn’t meet that I just saw was there before was Goldberg, so when our eyes crossed, basically I was like, why not break some balls a little bit?

He doesn’t seem to be able to take things lightly. I tried to lighten up the mood a little bit, but push comes to shove, and he thinks he wants to get back into the business and wrestle again, then I’m happy to teach him a lesson.”

– Gunther

What Goldberg said about Gunther

Goldberg recently gave his side of the story last week on the CarCast podcast. He was in Atlanta to film a TV show when WWE invited him to attend Bad Blood. He appreciated the gesture, especially in light of their rocky relationship over the years.

“I should have known,” he said. “I should have known somebody was going to try and mess with me. In Atlanta, no less. We were having a great time. Gunther, I don’t want to make anything more of it than it was, but.. You know me, I’m not going to sit there and let some dude talk shit. Period. End of story.

What started out to be an innocent attendance of a pay-per-view turned out to being insulted by one of their current champions. I don’t care where we were, I would have done the same thing anywhere.

I ain’t dead yet. As long as I’m breathing, don’t ever talk shit about me, especially my family. When he brought Gage into it and me being a dad, that was it. It was nothing more than that.”

Goldberg has frequently expressed his desire for a retirement match and has criticized Vince McMahon for allegedly promising one without following through. Numerous current wrestlers and legends have noted the significant changes in WWE since Triple H took over from McMahon. The incident at Bad Blood, along with the ongoing comments from both men, suggests that Goldberg might still have one more match left in him.

On social media, several wrestlers shared their support for those cut by WWE. Former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Tyrus had an interesting offer for Baron Corbin.

AEW broadcaster Renee Paquette showed her support for Corbin, who appreciates everyone who’s supported him during his 12 years with WWE.

AEW’s Deonna Purrazzo had nothing but love for Indi Hartwell after the now-released Superstar tried to see the silver lining in her situation.

Shazza McKenzie is optimistic for Hartwell’s future post-WWE and is firmly a member of Hartwell’s fan base.

Veda Scott made clear that she sees the former NXT Women’s Champion as a star.

Fellow WWE NXT UK alum Flash Morgan Webster is excited to see what Tegan Nox does next and praised the ex-Superstar’s Shining Wizard finisher.

At WWE Crown Jewel, Nia Jax and Liv Morgan will do battle to determine the first-ever WWE Crown Jewel Women’s Champion, with the winner also set to receive a ring. With both the Women’s Champion and Women’s World Champion in Riyadh, this will be an epic confrontation, but could see one of these women lose their title.

The November 1, episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown kicked off with Liv Morgan and Nia Jax in the ring ahead of their match at Crown Jewel. During the segment, Stratton vowed to cash in her Money in the Bank contract at the event and walk away as a champion. Stratton also questioned if cashing in on Morgan means she’d also get ‘Dirty’ Dominik Mysterio as part of the deal.

Stratton initially said she’d cash in on Liv Morgan but then teased cashing in on Jax despite her on-screen partnership. The segment quickly resulted in a brawl with a match set for Morgan and Stratton. The Women’s World Champion got the win but was laid out by Jax with the AnNiahilator after the match.

Stratton has attempted to cash in multiple times, including at WWE Bad Blood last month, but her attempts have been thwarted before they could be made official. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest from Crown Jewel, including breaking news and live results, and to see whether Stratton makes good on her promise to cash in at today’s Premium Live Event.

As previously reported, former NXT Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell has finished her time with WWE after being with the company since 2019. Baron Corbin has also been cut from the company and now Tegan Nox has also been released from the promotion.

Their exits were first reported by Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select. Nox, now going by her pre-WWE name of Nixon Newell, confirmed her own exit from WWE.

Nox joined WWE in 2017 but was pulled fom that year’s Mae Young Classic due to an ACL injuries. Injuries would continue to plague Nox throughout her career and she was ultimately released from WWE in November 2021. Prior to her release, she had been drafted to Raw, but never appeared on the red brand before being cut.

Nox returned in 2022 as part of Paul Levesque’s wave of talent rehiring that also saw the return of the likes of Braun Strowman, Bronson Reed, and others. Returning on SmackDown, Nox quickly found herself in a similar position to her first run in WWE, as she was rarely used on the blue brand. Her final match on TV came on the April 1, 2024, Raw where she lost in a six-woman tag. Her final win on TV was in tag-team action back in November of last year.

116-Year-Old Footage Of George Hackenschmidt Wrestling Surfaces

Throughout the annals of wrestling history, only a select few have risen to be the very top stars of their respective eras. Before the likes of Cena, Austin, Hogan, Flair, or even Sammartino, there was George Hackenschmidt, who today is best known for being recognized as the first wrestling world champion. This week, a video surfaced online of Hackenschmidt in action from over a century ago during a 1908 match from London, England.

Born in August 1877 in what is today known as Tartu, Estonia, Hackenschmidt entered the wrestling industry at the age of 12. It was in May 1905 that Hackneschmidt was officially recognized as the World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion after a victory in New York City over Tom Jenkins. Hackenshmidt held the title for just shy of three years before losing the gold in April 1908 to longtime rival Frank Gotch.

The video above may be the most complete footage of Hackenschmidt in the ring that’s been publicly shared and serves as a window into a much different form of professional wrestling. While the industry may be a lot more theatrical than what Hackenschmidt experienced in his heyday, it was his fundamentals and popularity that would play a role in making the wrestling business the entertainment juggernaut it is today, over a century after this match.

This Saturday at WWE Crown Jewel, he first-ever Men’s and Women’s Crown Jewel Champions will be decided at the event in Riyadh. Cody Rhodes, GUNTHER, Nia Jax, and Liv Morgan have the opportunity to etch their name in the history books, but the four Superstars will be competing for much more than the titles introduced at Bad Blood.

Appearing at the WWE Crown Jewel kick-off show, WWE CCO Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque shared that in addition to a title, the winners will also receive a championship ring. Like other sports, winners will have the opportunity to accumulate championship rings over several years of competing at WWE Crown Jewel.

“The champions, whoever that is will walk way with a massive ring, like a Superbowl ring that shows they are the true champion of WWE. And as this is an annual event so we’ll see how many rings can collect over the years.”

Here’s the final card the Saturday’s event from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia:

  • Cody Rhodes Vs. GUNTHER (Men’s Crown Jewel Championship)
  • Liv Morgan Vs. Nia Jax (Women’s Crown Jewel Championship)
  • Seth “Freakin” Rollins vs. Bronson Reed
  • Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens
  • LA Knight (c) vs. Andrade vs. Carmelo Hayes (U.S. Championship)
  • Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair (c) vs. Damage CTRL (Kairi Sane and Iyo Sky) vs. Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson) vs. Chelsea Green and Piper Niven (Women’s Tag Team Championship)
  • Roman Reigns and The Usos (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso) vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga) (with Tonga Loa)

Triple H Teases Bringing NXT to Saudi Arabia

WWE may bring NXT to Saudi Arabia in the near future. On Friday, WWE held the Crown Jewel Kickoff show. The event was hosted by Michael Cole and Triple H, and featured appearances from Cody Rhodes, Gunther, Liv Morgan, Nia Jax, The Usos, Randy Orton and more.

Triple H revealed that the winners of the Crown Jewel Championship matches will receive Crown Jewel Championship rings, in addition to the men’s and women’s Crown Jewel Championship belts.

Fans in attendance chanted WrestleMania, to which Triple H replied, “Yes, WrestleMania – it’s in Las Vegas, Nevada.”

Chants then broke out for NXT and received a more-favorable reaction. Triple H then teased bringing the developmental brand to Saudi Arabia, and said he’ll speak with Shawn Michaels about making that happen.

“Who wants to NXT here in Saudi Arabia? I’ll talk to Shawn and see what we can do.”

An NXT event in Saudi Arabia would be historic, and there doesn’t appear to be any significant hurdles preventing it. In fact, this weekend will be a good test to see if it’s feasible.

The day after Crown Jewel, WWE tapes this week’s Monday Night Raw before everyone heads back to the United States on Monday. The first-ever WWE Raw from Saudi Arabia will be a chance for WWE to iron out the logistics of running back-to-back events from Saudi Arabia, and could pave the way for a hypothetical ‘NXT Takeover: Jedda’ PLE.

Montez Ford: WWE Is My Dream Job, But It’s Frustrating

While Montez Ford is grateful to be a WWE star, he has openly expressed frustration with the ups and downs of his 2024 run. From his pairing with Bobby Lashley to losses alongside Angelo Dawkins as part of the Street Profits, this year has presented its share of challenges for Ford.

In a recent interview with Mail Sport’s Lewis Browning, Ford shared his honest thoughts on his current WWE journey. “To say that everything is good would be a lie,” Ford admitted.

“There’s always pleasure in doing what you love, what you admire, what you’ve dreamt of, and what you have passion for,” he said. “But it does get frustrating when you’re trying to accomplish something, and it feels like it’s either taking too long, or nothing’s happening.”

Ford pointed out that it’s been four years since the Street Profits last held the Tag Team Championship. While he loves being part of WWE, he finds the booking decisions increasingly frustrating.

“I’m not going to lie and say I don’t see the comments and reactions,” Ford shared. “I watch everything. We’re not in conversations about top tag teams, or anything wrestling-related beyond getting handled by The Bloodline, and that doesn’t sit well with me. So, while I’m living my dream, it’s as frustrating as it is rewarding.”

Ford also noted the personal challenges of the past year, including the loss of his grandfather and Dawkins’s loss of his mother. Despite these setbacks, Ford remains focused on becoming a champion in WWE once again.

WWE Crown Jewel: Cody Rhodes vs. Gunther – Clash of Champions

In a groundbreaking(ish) announcement at Bad Blood, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H introduced the Crown Jewel Championship. This title will be contested annually between the reigning men’s world champions from Raw and SmackDown. This year, Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes faces World Heavyweight Champion Gunther in a historic showdown.

Prediction: Gunther’s recent dominance suggests he may secure the inaugural Crown Jewel Championship. However, potential interference from The Bloodline or Kevin Owens could influence the outcome.

Roman Reigns and The Usos vs. The Bloodline

The ongoing saga of The Bloodline reaches a pivotal point as Roman Reigns reunites with The Usos to challenge Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, and Tama Tonga. This family feud has intensified, with alliances shifting and tensions escalating.

Prediction: The reunited trio of Reigns and The Usos may have the upper hand, leveraging their experience and cohesion to overcome the current Bloodline faction.

Nia Jax vs. Liv Morgan: Battle for Women’s Crown Jewel Championship

The women’s division takes center stage as WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax squares off against Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. This match will determine the first-ever Women’s Crown Jewel Champion.

Prediction: Given both competitors’ heel personas, external factors could play a significant role. Interference from Dominik Mysterio or a potential Money in the Bank cash-in by Tiffany Stratton might tip the scales in Morgan’s favor.

Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens: Grudge Match

Tensions have escalated between Randy Orton and Kevin Owens, leading to a highly anticipated singles match. Owens’ recent heel turn and attack on Cody Rhodes have set the stage for this confrontation.

Prediction: Kevin Owens’ newfound aggression may give him the edge, potentially securing a victory over the veteran Orton.

Seth Rollins vs. Bronson Reed: A Battle of Retribution

After a brutal attack sidelined Seth Rollins, he returns to seek vengeance against Bronson Reed. Their escalating feud promises a hard-hitting encounter.

Prediction: Rollins’ experience and resilience could lead him to triumph, though Reed’s raw power presents a formidable challenge and he’s currently getting the major push, so we’re going with Bronson on this one.

United States Championship Triple Threat Match

Champion LA Knight defends his title against Andrade and Carmelo Hayes in a high-stakes triple-threat match. Knight’s recent actions have intensified this rivalry, making for an unpredictable contest.

Prediction: LA Knight’s current push may well mean that he will retain the championship, which is how we see this going.

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Fatal Four-Way

Champions Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill face formidable opponents in Damage CTRL (Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane), Meta-Four (Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson), and the team of Chelsea Green & Piper Niven. This match showcases the depth of WWE’s women’s tag division.

Prediction: Belair and Cargill’s synergy may secure their retention, but the unpredictable nature of a fatal four-way leaves room for surprises. Still, we see the Champions retaining.

Big Boom AJ is ready for QT Marshall at AEW Full Gear and the COSTCO Guy cut a promo smack dab in New York City.

Big Boom AJ Befumo was in the Big Apple with Big Justice and The Rizzler to appear on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and while he was there decided to share a few words with his upcoming opponent, QT Marshall, who he’ll be facing at AEW Full Gear Zero Hour. AJ says that if Tony Khan is QT’s “best friend” he can have him because he’s got two names in his corner.

“I got Big Justice, I got all the people at the Prudental Center, I got all the people around the world and we’re coming to bring the BOOM.

“We could have made everything better in AEW, but you chose to take me on in the ring. Big mistake, QT Marshall.”

AEW Full Gear goes down on November 23. AJ does have previous experience as a pro wrestler.

Jimmy Fallon May Not Be A Fan Of The Costco Guys

The aformentioned Fallon may have thought it was a “big mistake” to have the COSTCO crew on his show as guests. The former SNL star is getting some not so stellar feedback after how he handled the trio on the show. Fallon interrupted their “BOOM” catchphrase after asking about their “BOOM Meter” for rating stuff. Current GCW Champion Mance Warner made it known that The Rizzler pays no mind to funny men.

Latest on Chris Bey’s Neck Injury and How You Can Help

During the post-Bound for Glory tapings of TNA Impact, Chris Bey of ABC suffered a serious injury during a tag-team match against Matt and Jeff Hardy. After an awkward fall, medical staff rushed to Bey’s aid and after being placed in a neck brace, he was stretchered away from the ring.

Bey underwent neck surgery in a hospital in Detroit, where his tag-team partner Ace Austin, others from TNA, family, and friends have been by his side. On the Extreme Life podcast, Matt Hardy shared that TNA Wrestling has ensured that Bey is being looked after throughout his recovery.

“There have been people that have been donating and giving him money just for his life in the weeks and months ahead, however long it takes him to recuperate from this so he doesn’t have to worry about where his income comes from. Yes, TNA is taking care of the expenses, but it’s just to make sure that he’s safe and focused on himself. The wrestling community has been so selfless about it, it’s been amazing.”

On TNA’s X account, Bey issued the following statement.

“I just want to take a few moments to extend my heartfelt thanks and deepest appreciation for so much and to so many over the past few days. From everyone at TNA Wrestling, to the incredible medical staff here in Detroit, to family, friends and fans worldwide. I know you have been praying for my full recovery from the in-ring accident this past Sunday. Monday was Day One for me on this journey, which I know will be long and challenging. Thanks again for the love and support, and please keep the prayers coming!”

How to Help

TNA is making sure Bey is being cared for, but there are plenty of other ways fans can show their support for Chris during his recovery.

  • A shirt released on Pro Wrestling Tees will see all funds go to Bey during his recovery.
  • The GoFundMe mentioned by Hardy remains active. The fundraiser was made by Bey’s longtime friends Jeremy Sanchez and Stan Victor and has already raised over $80,000
  • TNA is auctioning rare memorabilia, including one-of-a-kind items on eBay with proceeds going to Bey’s recovery.
  • TNA will have numerous fund-raising initiatives to assist Bey at the upcoming tapings on November 8-9 from the Crown Arena in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Fans will be able to pick up exclusive Bey pins and limited-edition numbered collector photos.

Bey’s situation is a serious one and we aspire to provide updates as they become public. We at SEScoops are wishing for a full and speedy recovery for the TNA star.

Kayla Becker Says No To WWE Return After Samantha Irvin Exit

Samantha Irvin has parted ways with WWE after three years, during which she was praised by many, including Michael Buffer, for her work as a ring announcer. Currently, Lilian Garcia is announcing on Monday Night Raw, and whatever the future holds, Kayla Becker has no plans to return to the role.

Becker, known to wrestling fans as Kayla Braxton, was a ring announcer for WWE NXT in late 2016 but transitioned into being an interviewer the next year. Speaking to Triggered Wrestling, Becker made clear she’d turn down the offer to replace Irvin if asked.

“Do you know how much I hate ring announcing? Absolutely not. You know how that job is? Ring announcing is the most underrated job ever in the history of wrestling. It’s so difficult. It’s very stressful, and it makes your voice hoarse. So, no. I am not interested.”

Becker also parted ways with WWE in June with an emotional send-off in Madison Square Garden led by Cody Rhodes. Since then, Becker has since made moves outside the world of pro wrestling. The 33-year-old is set to be a part of Stranglehold, a new comedic thriller about a group of friends that heist a strip club which will also feature AEW’s MJF.

Irvin similarly is looking to make her name outside of wrestling and is focusing on a wider career in entertainment. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on both Irvin and Becker both in and out of the world of professional wrestling.

Hulk Hogan may have found a new tag team partner in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the WWE Hall of Famer says he wants to help kids get healthy and in shape.

Throughout the course of 2024, RFK Jr. made his own bid for President of the United States, running first as a Democrat then later as an Independent, but due to America’s established two-party system, the son of Bobby Kennedy found the deck stacked against him. That made him to decide to align with Donald Trump, who promised RFK Jr. that he’d have him be a factor in health and enviromental issues if he were to be elected as President.

RFK Jr. has been on the campaign run for Trump and so has Hogan, who not only showed up at the notorious rally that took place in Madison Square Garden, but has been making media appearances too.

Hogan was just on Fox News with Jesse Waters, who asked Hogan if Trump wins, would he play any role in helping the Trump adminstration out. Hogan certainly had an idea in mind, noting that in wrestling you have to draw a big angle and put “hot spice on a feud.”

“This Robert Kennedy Jr., he’s onto something with nutrition, but he’s gonna tag team us up as the Mega Powers – the ‘MAGA Powers,’ there ya go. ‘The MAGA Powers’: RFK Jr. and Hulk Hogan, he could get them to eat the right food and I could get all of our kids in shape, brother.”

There’s a great deal of wrestling legends who have picked sides as to who they’ll be voting for next week, but several made clear they’ll remain friends with one another despite having political differences.
