38-year-old willing to face Bill Goldberg after years of animosity (Exclusive)
Bill Goldberg has not wrestled since losing to Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber in February 2022. In an exclusive interview, Matt Riddle addressed whether he could finally go one-on-one with the man he has repeatedly criticized in recent years.
Riddle wrestled for WWE between 2018 and 2023 after previously making a name for himself in the UFC. In 2019, the 38-year-old called Goldberg "unsafe, dangerous, and a liability" after his match against The Undertaker at Super ShowDown.
Speaking to Sportskeeda Wrestling Senior Editor Bill Apter and host Dr. Chris Featherstone, Riddle confirmed he would like to face Goldberg:
"I would love that. I know I'm affordable. I don't know how much Bill costs. Like I said, his bank account's way bigger than mine, so he'll probably be a little more than me. But, yeah, I'm always up for anything, dude, and I think we would have a great match." [8:41 – 8:56]
Watch the video above to hear Riddle reveal what he and Goldberg said to each other at SummerSlam 2019. He also disclosed details about another interaction during a flight to the United States from Saudi Arabia.
How realistic is a Bill Goldberg vs. Matt Riddle match?
In the same interview, Matt Riddle clarified he does not dislike Bill Goldberg as a human being. His only issue with the WCW icon stems from his in-ring style, which Riddle believes is too aggressive and reckless.
Given that neither man is currently signed to a WWE contract, a match between Goldberg and Riddle is not impossible.
Although Goldberg is 57, he has not retired from in-ring competition. In a recent interview on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, the two-time Universal Champion said he would be willing to return to face former WWE Champion Big E.
