Tony Khan has confirmed reports that he has spoken with Bill Goldberg.
Goldberg has been vocal this year about his frustration with WWE not giving him a proper send off before his deal with the company expired. Since then, Goldberg has remained a free agent and is in the midst of planning a farewell retirement tour, possibly including a match in Israel.
During the AEW Double or Nothing post-show media scrum, Khan was asked whether he has talked to Goldberg recently, and he would confirm that he has had talks with the former WWE Universal Champion.
“Yeah, I have talked to Bill. It wouldn’t be that unusual. I’ve talked to Bill when he’s not been under contract at times, and I have a good relationship with Bill. I have had a good conversation with him, but I’ve had a lot of great conversations with Bill. His family has done a lot of great things in Jacksonville, he’s related to the Wolfson family, who built the Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville. Bill is a great former football star, I worked in football, and it’s a big part of my life. We have a lot in common and we have a lot of mutual friends, and I have a really good relationship with Bill. I like him a lot. As to what I’ve talked to him about, I would say that’s just between the two of us. It was a good chat. I like Bill a lot, he’s a great guy,”

We will have to wait and see if Goldberg will make his way over to All Elite Wrestling during his upcoming retirement tour but for now, Tony Khan is keeping his cards close to his chest.
