Not for the first time, Bill Goldberg has expressed his displeasure over WWE cutting his retirement speech short. This time, Goldberg would discuss it with a fan who had filmed their conversation during a meet-and-greet, asking how he felt about the situation; he replied, “It shows what disrespect they have for me.” Additionally, the fan would ask whether he believed Triple H was responsible, and Goldberg would simply respond, “Probably.”
“It shows what disrespect they have for me.” – Bill Goldberg
Goldberg wrestled his final match on July 12, 2025, at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta, facing then-World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. The Wcw legend delivered a surprisingly competitive 14-minute performance despite being injured, showcasing his trademark power and intensity one last time. Still, Gunther ultimately prevailed, retaining his title as Goldberg passed out in the ring. The icon then delivered an emotional farewell speech, but due to timing issues, it was partially cut off from the live broadcast.
