Overview

  • Goldberg said staging his retirement bout on Saturday Night’s Main Event fell short of the grand send-off he envisioned on a major WWE stage
  • He criticized NBC’s live broadcast for cutting off his speech after about 20–30 seconds due to a “hard-out” deadline tied to an earlier injury delay
  • The WWE Hall of Famer lamented the three-week buildup and said a longer promotional arc would have better honored his two-decade career
  • Goldberg confirmed he must wait until his two-week silence clause expires before fully detailing his frustrations with the event’s planning and execution
  • Although retired in principle, he left open the possibility of a future return if circumstances align with his vision
