Goldberg was recently interviewed by Sports Illustrated. This was in order to promote his role as the host of the new season of Forged in Fire: Knife or Death. During the interview, Goldberg spoke about if he would be interested in a return to WWE.
Specifically, Goldberg was asked if he was interested in a return for the next show in Saudi Arabia, WWE Crown Jewel.
It turns out that Goldberg cares more about the storyline than a quick cash grab. Here is what he said:
“I don’t really foresee that happening, but if Vince [McMahon] picked up the phone and asked me to do something of that magnitude, I’d have to listen. It’s always a possibility.”
“If it’s just a money grab or it’s just a thing to throw me out there, I’m not interested. The biggest issue there is storyline. I don’t do things just to do them. If they can come up with a story or a reason for me to go back comparable to what they did last time, I’m in.”
Goldberg also spoke about his recent run with WWE, that ended at Wrestlemania 33:
“The last run was so special. It was everything it could have been, I believe, storyline-wise. As a whole, I couldn’t have asked for much more.
“All things considered, nothing that they put out there is ever guaranteed to succeed, but I think the stars aligned. It was the right time and the right circumstances. I don’t know if the stars will align like that again.”
