Report: WWE Apologised To Goldberg Over Cutting Away From Retirement Speech

At Saturday Night's Main Event XL, Goldberg wrestled his last-ever match, losing to WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.

After the match, the WWE Hall of Famer gave a speech that, regrettably, was cut off due to a timing issue with the show.

This obviously wasn't intentional and, according to a report by Fightful Select, a number of people within the company felt bad that it happened.

Per the report, at least one WWE higher-up apologised to Goldberg over it.

WWE did attempt to remedy the situation by uploading a video of the whole speech to their YouTube channel.

During the speech, Goldberg spoke about how important Atlanta was to him and his career, thanked his friends and family and emphasised the need to treat people with respect, saying:

"Treat everyone like you would like to be treated. Black, green, purple, Christian, Jewish. I don't give a damn. You treat every single human being with respect, and if I did anything in my career, I honoured that and tried to pass that down".

Goldberg may not be the only legend to have their last match with Gunther this year, as The Ring General is reportedly in line to be John Cena's final opponent.
