“I Had Covid”: Goldberg Buries Vince McMahon in Resurfaced Interview for Failing Him After Roman Reigns Saudi Arabia Match

Bill Goldberg‘s throwback remarks regarding Vince McMahon have stirred significant attention within the wrestling community. During a guest appearance on Steve & Captain Evil last year, the WWE Hall of Famer expressed his unfiltered thoughts about McMahon. He sheds light on his true feelings towards the former WWE chairman. But now it looks like the old interview is trending again.

In this resurfaced video, Goldberg didn’t hesitate to criticize McMahon for what he perceived as a failure to support him. Especially, after his match against Roman Reigns in Saudi Arabia. 

Goldberg blames Vince McMahon after post-Covid match

Goldberg recalls expecting his WWE retirement match after losing to Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber in Saudi Arabia. But Vince McMahon reportedly backed out of the deal. In the resurfaced interview on the Steve & Captain Evil podcast, Goldberg expressed disappointment over the disagreement. He understood that his loss to Reigns would lead to his retirement match, which didn’t happen.

In the trending Instagram video from January, Goldberg can be seen saying, “I had COVID. I remember calling him from my house and saying, ‘Listen, here is the deal. I’ll do it if you give me a retirement match.’ I did what he asked.” The match was against Reigns in Elimination Chamber in 2022. 

He added,” I put myself in a horribly s***ty situation to get what I wanted to but to satiate him and give him what he wanted. The problem is, he never held up his bargain.” He stated that he did not get time to work out when he had Covid and still, he went and finished his job. But to his disappointment, McMahon did not hold up his part of the deal. He also called Vince McMahon a piece of sh*t.

In 2016, Goldberg returned to WWE after 12 years and challenged Brock Lesnar to a match. Their showdown at Survivor Series shocked the world when Goldberg defeated Lesnar dominantly. This victory marked Goldberg’s return to WWE glory, leading to multiple WWE Universal Championship reigns. 

However, his last match was with Reigns in 2022 where he lost to him as per the deal with McMahon. Well after seeing the interview Ivar reached out on Twitter to challenge Goldberg for a retirement match.

The Viking Raider wrote, “If you are looking, I’ll have that retirement match with you @Goldberg.” Many fans were in favor of this decision in December 2023.
