WWE Rumor Roundup - Banned move to be used again, Goldberg in backstage controversy, Big AEW signing - 10th April 2020

#5 The truth about the controversy regarding Goldberg

There have been reports stating that Goldberg refused to lose to Bray Wyatt at Super ShowDown as the loss would have destroyed his superhero image. It was said that Goldberg used his power to convince the powers that be to change the booking of the match.

However, there may not be much truth in the rumors doing the rounds.

Sportskeeda's Tom Colohue revealed on the latest edition of the Dropkick DiSKussions podcast that Goldberg was specifically brought in to beat Bray Wyatt after the company made a host of changes to WrestleMania card leading up to the show.

There were reportedly no conversations about Goldberg wanting to lose or win and the decision was just made to begin building up towards a match against Roman Reigns.

Colohue also added that WWE never intended to use Goldberg beyond WrestleMania as the WWE Hall of Famer is just too expensive for the company.

Bray Wyatt has essentially written every single part of his entire character so far. I find it more likely that he has his way rather than Goldberg having his way. Goldberg was specifically brought in to win that match.

Goldberg was brought in to take the title off, there was at no point even a conversation about Goldberg being willing to win or lose. He was already there for that one thing, and then, of course, there was a follow-up saying that Goldberg was supposed to retain at WrestleMania, carry the Universal title forward but he didn't want to. No. Goldberg is simply too expensive for the WWE to keep bringing in. He was always due to lose at WrestleMania, even though he was originally due to lose to Roman Reigns, who was supposed to beat Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania.
