When Gillberg made his WWE debut in the late 1990s, he started to impersonate Goldberg. He made fun of the former WCW star’s whole act, including his well-known entrance and move repertoire.
Many fans wanted to see Goldberg vs Gillberg, but it never went down. Gill revealed that the two-time Universal Champion always declined any confrontation throughout the years on Rene Dupree’s Cafe de Rene podcast.
I tell you one thing: Goldberg fears Gillberg. I’ve asked him many times to his face, ‘Let’s have this match?’ and he won’t do it. It’s the only thing I can figure, he’s scared of me. He knows I’ll bust him up, man. Look out!

At Elimination Chamber 2022 in February, Goldberg lost to Roman Reigns in his most recent ring action. He may or may not wrestle in additional matches for WWE.
