Why did he leave in the first place?
Goldberg is a former professional wrestler who is best known for his time in WWE. He left WWE in 2004 and has since made sporadic appearances. In March 2017, it was announced that Goldberg would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
His contract
Goldberg’s first run in WWE came to an end in 2004 when he failed to come to terms on a new contract with the company. As a result, Goldberg became a free agent and was free to sign with any wrestling promotion he wanted.
Goldberg ended up signing with All Elite Wrestling in 2019 and made his return to the wrestling world at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view, where he competed in the Casino Battle Royale.
His health
Goldberg had retired from professional wrestling in 2004 due to injuries he had sustained throughout his career. He had numerous concussions and suffered from multiple headaches daily.
