Goldberg recently went off on how WWE handled his retirement match and now it appears some believe Goldbergs complaints could be a work for Goldberg to debut in AEW.
While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Ariel Helwani admitted he was surprised by Goldbergs negative attitude, especially just days after his big retirement match. Helwani said he had expected the conversation to go in a more positive direction.
Helwani explained that he thought Goldberg might have been slightly annoyed that his post-match interview got cut off, but didnt expect that frustration to affect the whole interview. He did Goldbergs farewell presentation, especially the entrance with past figures like Doug Dellinger and Josh Barnett, calling it a great touch.
Despite how things looked from the outside, Helwani stood up for Goldbergs right to feel however he does. He shared a personal story about how he also felt let down at his dream job with ESPN, saying sometimes people just have different expectations. Helwani also mentioned that Goldberg had recently lost his father-in-law, which could be affecting his emotions.
Helwani then wondered if Goldbergs attitude could even be part of a storyline. He said it crossed his mind that maybe Goldberg was working the audience and might show up somewhere like AEW soon, using the negative comments as part of a larger story.
Goldberg also previously considered going to AEW only for Stings retirement match. Whether Goldberg is truly frustrated or simply trying to make his way into AEW somehow, he definitely got fans talking so well have to see what Goldberg does next.
