Goldberg addresses WWE Bad Blood appearance

On a new episode of his Carcast podcast, Goldberg addressed appearing at WWE Bad Blood.

Goldberg returned to WWE programming at the October 5 event in Atlanta. After initially being shown sitting in the front row with his wife and son, Goldberg was involved in an angle with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther later in the night. He confronted Gunther after Gunther mentioned his family, but they were kept apart by officials.

Staying mostly in character, Goldberg discussed attending Bad Blood and his storyline with Gunther.

“The elephant in the room — yes, I took Wanda and Gage to an event in Atlanta. I was in Atlanta for some business, filming a new TV show. WWE extended an invitation and we came and experienced it. I don’t know how many live events I’ve ever actually experienced in that situation. And It was cool. It was a great invite. Gage had a weekend off and we went,” he said.

“I should have known, right? I should have known somebody was going to try to mess with me. In Atlanta, no less. We were having a great time and then, yeah, Gunther. I don’t want to make anything more of it than it was. But you know me, dude. I mean, I’m not going to just sit there and let some dude talk sh*t. Period. End of story. So what started out to be an innocent attendance of a pay-per-view turned out to be being insulted by one of their current champions. I don’t care where we were, I would have done the same thing anywhere we were. But it being in Atlanta, kind of my adopted hometown — you know, I ain’t dead yet, man. Come on. As long as I’m breathing, don’t ever talk sh*t about me, and especially my family. So when he brought like Gage into it and me being a dad, that was it. It was nothing more than that. Next question.”

Goldberg’s son Gage is a member of the University of Colorado football roster, being coached by NFL legend Deion Sanders.

After Bad Blood, Paul “Triple H” Levesque teased that he would be talking to Goldberg again very soon. The 57-year-old Goldberg hasn’t wrestled in more than two years but has said that he would love to have a retirement match.

Gunther is facing Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, November 2. We’ll see if Goldberg ends up interfering in that match.
