The former World Heavyweight Champion initially signed with WWE in 2003, two years after his former company had folded. His first run lasted only a year, but he scored major victories over top stars like The Rock and even managed to win his old title back.

Goldberg is currently a free agent, as his contract with WWE has expired. His most recent match was a collision with the Tribal Chief at Elimination Chamber.
