Former 2-time Universal Champion Goldberg has opened up about his disastrous match against The Undertaker at WWE Super ShowDown 2019 in Saudi Arabia.

Goldberg recently appeared on The Pat McAfee Show. The WWE Hall of Famer admitted during the interview that he didn't know if he was going to get through his bout with The Undertaker.

“Yeah, 100%. Undertaker in Saudi," said Goldberg. "I’d been out for a while and everybody’s got a routine, and I kind of forgot my routine. But I remembered the headbutt. So, on the way out, I headbutt the door. And I don’t know where I am after that, I’ve got no idea what’s going on."
“I’m kind of getting to the ring and then we’ve got the spot where he moves and I hit the turnbuckle. Well, I didn’t go out and look at the turnbuckle beforehand, and it was a different setup from what we normally would have at Raw or SmackDown. I took that one,” he said. “I try to take things as realistic as possible and I took it wrong. So, let’s just say I got another concussion right there and opened myself up pretty good."

Goldberg then added that the referee checked on him multiple times during his match against The Undertaker. Every time he said he was fine, but he had no idea what was going on.

“It was a different answer every time and the fact is, I never should’ve done what I did. But I did, I tried to go through with it but unfortunately, it turned out to be a debacle. It’s a wonder that we both didn’t get smashed during that match,” he reflected. “It was a very bad missed opportunity. But hey, at the end of the day, I was just trying to provide a better show for everybody else.” (h/t WrestlingInc)

The Undertaker and Goldberg both soon redeemed themselves after this disastrous match
