Goldberg Denies Changing The Finish Of Bray Wyatt Match At WWE Super ShowDown

says his win over Bray Wyatt wasn’t his call.

During a recent interview with Shakiel Mahjouri for SHAK Wrestling, Goldberg addressed the rumors that his win over “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt was a result of him politicking to get the finish changed in his favor. Goldberg and Wyatt squared off at Super ShowDown 2020 in Saudi Arabia, and Goldberg’s win over Wyatt rubbed fans the wrong way, but Goldberg now says that didn’t happen and he was just doing his job.

“Let’s put it this way. I’ve never said anything that wasn’t true in the wrestling business. I’m a talent and I do what the boss tells me to do. I flew to Saudi Arabia knowing I was going to lose. Then somehow it changed and the finish was different. It surely wasn’t me because it’s an extremely selfish move to do. Number two: truly it wouldn’t be about the business. It would be about myself. Number three: who the hell am I as a part-time guy to come in and demand anything? Truly, I’m not. Vince gave me opportunities that maybe I didn’t deserve in the past. I owe that man just about everything,” he explained.

“First and foremost, I’ve never said no to putting anybody over. Maybe back in WCW I didn’t agree with putting [Chris] Jericho over or something like that. If I can remember correctly because I didn’t think it was time for the character [Goldberg] to be involved in any comedy. But not in a million years in that Fiend situation in Saudi [Arabia] would I have done that. No way in hell. I’d love to see him [Bray Wyatt] face-to-face and make sure there is not one percent of his being that believes that I changed that match,” Goldberg said. “That’s the first time I’ve actually been able to defend myself in that situation.”

Goldberg also spoke about his relationship with Bret Hart before the infamous kick that ended Hart’s career, explaining that he actually learned quite a bit from the WWE Hall Of Famer.

“I was a sponge and he taught me. I learned through osmosis from Bret. To have a talent like that down in WCW at a time when I felt as if everyone was trying to expose me and push me in the wrong direction, I saw in him an ally. For what happened to have happened, I’ll be remorseful to the end of my days. For anybody who thinks that was intentional, that is extremely foolish and I’ll just leave it that way.”
