Triple H did not have a high opinion of Goldberg when asked about him in a 2001 episode of WWE’s Tough Enough. The two men have never really seen eye to eye, but that didn’t stop Triple H from booking Goldberg’s WWE retirement match against Gunther.

The son of WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg was on hand to take part in his father's farewell match over the weekend, fueling speculation on his future

Triple H sent a message to Goldberg hours before his title match against Gunther at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event XL. The Hall of Famer will challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship.

At Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12, 2025, ‘Da Man’ locked horns with Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. Many assumed that Goldberg would capture the world title on his way out. However, the WCW legend fell short against The Ring General in their encounter.

Once Saturday Night's Main Event was off the air, Gunther offered his candid assessment of Goldberg's career in the ring. The world heavyweight champion was a guest on WWE's SNME recap show with Sam Roberts and Megan Morant and had the final word on his rivalry with the Hall of Famer.
