Tony Khan needs to bring in former Universal Champion for AEW All In, veteran says
Wrestling veteran Dutch Mantell thinks Tony Khan should book a former WWE Superstar's retirement match at the AEW All In 2024 Pay-Per-View, which will be held at Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom. The star being discussed would be Goldberg.
The Myth had been one of the biggest powerhouses of WWE and WCW for a long time. Even after his return to the Stamford-based promotion in 2016, he was presented as one of the strongest stars, becoming the Universal Champion twice. He wrestled his last match in the Stamford-based promotion against Roman Reigns at the Elimination Chamber 2022 Premium Live Event.
The former Universal Champion is currently a free agent and he has often opened up about his resentment of WWE not giving him his retirement match.
While speaking on his Story Time with Dutch Mantell podcast, the 74-year-old veteran suggested that Tony Khan could give Goldberg his final match at the AEW All In Pay-Per-View this year, just like he gave to Sting at the Revolution Pay-Per-View.
"Tony Khan putting him at Wembley, that would be great. For a UK wrestling match, that would be great. They are not gonna see it anywhere else. You know, this is gonna be his last match because he doesn't take matches, Sting doesn't either. So Sting, he has had his last match, and people in Greensboro got to see this, people in UK get to see Goldberg's last match. So, Tony Khan may inadvertently fall into, 'Who else could have a last match?' as say," Dutch Mantell said. [1:18:54 - 1:19:24]

After its massive success last year, the AEW All In Pay-Per-View will be held at Wembley Stadium on August 25 this year.
Goldberg revealed why he had not signed with AEW
While speaking on 93.7 The Ticket, Goldberg said that he had talked with AEW President Tony Khan. However, The Myth claimed that he would not sign with the Jacksonville-based promotion because its product was "too cheesy."
"I've talked to him a number of times throughout the past. But, you know, and this is where you're gonna get the most blunt answer you're gonna get from me. The product is too cheesy. The product is too cheesy.(...) But not a chance," Goldberg said.
It will be interesting to see what is next for the 57-year-old legend and if Tony Khan will book his retirement match.
