Goldberg delays retirement after thrashing Brock Lesnar
Tuesday 22 November 2016 09:24, UK
Goldberg will compete in the 2017 Royal Rumble Match as he hunts one last reign as world champion.
The 49-year-old had intimated that his Survivor Series showdown with Brock Lesnar on Sunday - a bout he won in startling fashion in under two minutes - would be his last in a WWE ring.
However, the legend revealed on Monday's episode of Raw that Stephanie McMahon had convinced him to postpone his retirement by raising the prospect of him winning a third world title.
Goldberg will earn a guaranteed title opportunity at WrestleMania 33 if he wins the Royal Rumble Match in San Antonio, Texas on January 29 - 13 years after his previous appearance in the multi-man melee.
The powerhouse eliminated Nunzio, Charlie Haas and Billy Gunn in 2004, before he was removed by Kurt Angle following an attack from Lesnar, the man he would go on to defeat at WrestleMania XX.
Goldberg's first world-title reign came in WCW in 1998 when he defeated Hulk Hogan on Monday Nitro and went on to hold the belt for 174 days.
The Oklahoma-born star then seized WWE's World Heavyweight Championship in 2003 by downing Triple H at Unforgiven, before losing the belt to The Game after 84 days at Armageddon.
