5 Biggest WWE promos that were actually unscripted

#2 Goldberg cut an unscripted promo upon his return

Goldberg was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018, a year after he lost the Universal title to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33. Many fans had assumed that this was it for Goldberg in terms of an in-ring career, but they were dead wrong. WWE brought Goldberg back a year later for a dream showdown against The Undertaker in Saudi Arabia.

Goldberg made an appearance on WWE SmackDown ahead of the show and cut a scathing promo, hyping up his upcoming match with The Undertaker. Soon after, it was reported that the promo Goldberg cut was completely unscripted. Everything Goldberg said in the promo came out of his own mind. What's more, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was very happy with Goldberg's promo on the Blue brand.

The eventual match was a major letdown though. Goldberg and The Undertaker both struggled throughout the match and it was incredibly scary to see them do major spots that could have resulted in major injuries. The match was slammed by the WWE Universe as well as the critics.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
