Goldberg Goes Indie - Retirement Tour Revealed?!
The original Big Bill reveals abandoned WWE retirement story and surprising future plans.
Bill Goldberg wants a farewell on his own term and might be heading out on the road to get it.
This is per the former WWE Universal and WCW World Heavyweight Champion himself, who commented that an original agreement with Vince McMahon has since been dropped and he's now looking to sort out his own send-off.

Speaking to 93.7 The Ticket, he said (h/t Wrestling Observer)
I'll stop the rumor mill right now. The reason why these rumors are out there is because Vince McMahon and I had a handshake understanding that after the Roman Reigns match, I would have a proper retirement match and that hasn't come to fruition through them and so therefore, nobody puts a stamp on my career, nobody tells me when I'm done, period, end of story. And when somebody tells me that, I kind of like to fight against it. I like to do things my own way and I go out my own way and I certainly don't go out under Roman Reigns three weeks after I have COVID and agreed to a match. So, if I go on a world tour and promote it myself, that's a possibility. Hey, I'm a businessman and I'm fortunately in the position, I firmly believe, to where I can still make it happen. At the end of the day, like I said, I do believe that my character deserves a proper send-off and until that happens, I don't believe I'm hanging them up. So, anything and everything is an option. I'm very much leaning toward promoting it myself and doing a four city world tour. So, let the rumor mill start up after that.
The rumours Goldberg might be referring to are recent ones about a possible move to All Elite Wrestling following recent praise from AEW president Tony Khan.
