"Oh yeah, I did [talk to Charles Robinson]. He actually broke his rib. I saw on his Instagram he broke his rib. I had to say sorry to him just for my dad. Charles is bada**. He's taken the spear from him, and he took it like a champ, I will say. Big kudos to him." [8:43 – 9:08]

Bill Goldberg's honest reaction to his WWE SNME match

Although the event was widely viewed as a success, Bill Goldberg made it clear in an interview on July 15 that he was not happy with his final WWE match.

Speaking to Ariel Helwani, the 58-year-old questioned why his full speech after the bout was not televised on NBC. He also hinted he will have more to say on the matter in the near future.

"100 percent," Goldberg replied when asked if he would have preferred to compete at a premium live event. "Yeah, absolutely. They cut me off in freaking 20 seconds with the microphone in my hand, for God's sake. I've got two weeks, man. I've got two weeks before I can really spill the beans, make my feelings kind of known about the entire rundown from the inception of the idea to its delivery."

In the same interview, the 2018 WWE Hall of Famer refused to rule out the possibility of wrestling again one day.
