New AEW TNT Champion Wardlow recently spoke with Simon Miller from WhatCulture on a variety of topics such as how he and WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg did briefly exchange words at a convention and Goldberg did tell him that he is next, so if the opportunity comes, then they would love to face each other in a one-on-one match.
Wardlow said:
“I actually pointed at him and I said, ‘Bet your ass I’m not next.’ So yeah, you guys just missed it. Goldberg did walk through just a minute ago and we exchanged words. Don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes, but we both mutually agreed that if the opportunity comes, we would love to see who really is next.”
Wardlow also spoke about how he had other legends in mind as a potential opponent, but it doesn’t get bigger than himself vs. Goldberg.
Wardlow said:
“Yeah, I mean, if you could have Batista, Lesnar, Goldberg, I put those three in the same category of dream monster matches. So yeah, Goldberg is… I mean, we just heard, ‘Wardlow.’ We haven’t heard that chant since ‘Goldberg.’ So I think Wardlow versus Goldberg, it doesn’t get bigger than that. It does not get bigger than Wardlow versus Goldberg. It doesn’t.”
Wardlow then spoke about how if he is the man to retire WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg, then he would not mind dying peacefully.
Wardlow said:
“If it comes down to Wardlow is the man to retire Goldberg, I can die peacefully.”
