In a recent interview, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg made headlines by calling All Elite Wrestling’s (AEW) product “too cheesy” for his taste. However, AEW CEO Tony Khan has now responded to these blunt remarks, revealing some surprising details about their past conversations.
According to Khan, Goldberg had previously expressed interest in working with AEW. In fact, the two had met several times to discuss potential collaborations.
Khan stated that he was surprised by Goldberg’s criticism, given their positive interactions in the past.
“Bill wanted to work here. I met with Bill several times. Bill was looking to work here. It’s funny because I had a bunch of really nice meetings with Bill and would have honestly been interested in doing something,” Khan said.
Khan went on to describe their conversations as “very nice” and emphasized that Goldberg had never expressed any negative opinions about AEW during their talks. The AEW CEO seemed taken aback by Goldberg’s sudden change of heart, saying,
“It’s good to know that’s how he feels and maybe that’s an opinion he holds now, but certainly in our past conversations, he’s always been a positive and nice guy.”
This unexpected revelation raises questions about what might have changed Goldberg’s mind about AEW. Was it a particular event or storyline that didn’t sit well with him? Or did he simply decide that the company wasn’t the right fit for him after all?
Whatever the reason, it’s clear that Khan holds Goldberg in high regard and would have welcomed him to the AEW roster.
In other news, Khan also addressed Kenny Omega’s highly anticipated return to AEW on this week’s Dynamite.
Omega’s arrival is expected to shake things up in the company, particularly given his complicated history with The Young Bucks. With Omega back in the mix, fans can expect plenty of drama and action in the coming weeks.
As AEW continues to evolve and grow, it will be interesting to see how these developments play out.
Will Goldberg reconsider his stance on the company, or will he continue to pursue opportunities elsewhere? One thing is certain – Tony Khan and AEW are committed to delivering exciting and unpredictable content to their loyal fan base.
