Goldberg is considered a semi retired wrestler since he hasn’t wrestled in over a decade. He made in ring comeback a few months back for other wrestling shows. He returned to WWE after a break of 12 years after Brock’s Manager Paul Heyman challenged Goldberg to a match with Brock Lesnar. This led to an intense buildup which finished off at Survivor series with the two beasts finally facing off in the squared ring.
Goldberg mostly did this match to fulfill his son’s wish to see him wrestle in the ring again.
During the match Lesnar initially tried to dominate Goldberg as he carried Goldberg into the corner, only for Goldberg to shove him back across the ring. Lesnar was completely shocked by Goldberg’s power, as soon as he turned his back on his opponent to get back to his feet, Goldberg charged and landed a spear.
