Ahead of his match with Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber in Saudi Arabia in February, Goldberg was suffering from a shoulder injury. He hasn&#8217;t wrestled since then. \u201cI just kind of needed that break,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I needed the mental focus of understanding that surgery wasn\u2019t an option at the time and I needed to put my ass to the grindstone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still waiting for that one [call] to happen one of these days,\u201d Goldberg said. \u201cBut I suppose you never retire in the wrestling world until you\u2019re dead, so who knows. Hey, I may never get the call, you never know.
