Fans have compared Wardlow and Goldberg because they have a similar entrance and are booked similarly.
With Goldberg now a free agent and open to any possibilities, though he’s leaning toward a four-city tour, AEW President Tony Khan has stated that the legendary wrestler is on his radar.
Wardlow was asked at WrestleCon by Simon Miller of WhatCulture Wrestling if he had heard the rumors that Goldberg said Wardlow was next and pointed to him.
“Well, I actually pointed at him and I said, ‘Bet your ass I’m not next.’ Yeah, you guys just missed it. Goldberg did walk through just a minute ago and we exchanged words. Don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes, but we both mutually agreed that if the opportunity comes, we would love to see who really is next,” Wardlow stated.
When asked if facing Goldberg would be a dream match for him, he said yes.
“Yeah, if you could have Batista, Lesnar, Goldberg, I put those three in the same category of like dream monster matches. Goldberg is…we just heard, ‘Wardlow.’ We haven’t heard that chant since ‘Goldberg.’ I think Wardlow versus Goldberg, it doesn’t get bigger than that. It does not get bigger than Wardlow versus Goldberg” Wardlow stated.
This has caused speculation that Wardlow could be the one to retire Goldberg, who still wants a proper retirement bout.
