A two-time WWE Universal Champion has accidentally confirmed that he is retiring from the company. The star has inadvertently confirmed it.

WWE has not confirmed the match as Goldberg's final one, and while reports suggest it, there has been no official announcement declaring this as the star's retirement match. Hints have emerged that this contest might be his retirement match, especially since the merchandise is selling, saying that it's about "who's last."

Now, though, Goldberg has confirmed it. He said that he knew he was going into his final match against an opponent like Gunther and that the star was a formidable opponent. The Hall of Famer said that it was an honor to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at the age of 58. He ultimately confirmed that he would be retiring with this match. The veteran said that he didn't know anyone who retired after a match like this.

The fact that this is a retirement match has not been announced officially. However, with Goldberg now saying it, the fact that this will be the star's last-ever WWE match has been leaked. While speaking on Jakib Sports, the Hall of Famer said:

WWE fired her, but she started earning more than ever - Check out!

“He’s a formidable opponent. I mean, he’s the World Heavyweight Champion. I remember meeting him years ago, right when he broke in. The guy had a shooting star up his a** at that point, and I knew he was going to be destined for big thing. And, hey, it’s an honor for me to get in the ring with him. It’s an honor to step into a position to be vying for the World Heavyweight Championship at 58 years old. I mean, I don’t know of any other ones who have retired with a match like that.” (1:53:51 - 1:54:26)
