Goldberg isn't interested in signing with AEW.

During an appearance on 93.7 The Ticket over the weekend, Goldberg said he's had discussions with the company but said the product is "too cheesy."

Goldberg said:

I have talked to them a number of times throughout the past but this is where you're going to get the most blunt answer you're going to get from me: The product is too cheesy. It doesn't deserve to have...I mean, whatever.
If there was a comparable, viable option as a competitor that would allow me to still look myself in the mirror after I was a member of their roster, yeah, then it would be a consideration but not a chance.
Goldberg made headlines last month as well when he was critical of WWE having Asuka break his undefeated streak, referring to her as "some Japanese girl."

"Asuka [mispronounced] was her name, some Japanese girl. And they touted her as being the one to have the longest winning streak. And it just so happened that that culminated when I got there, right?" Goldberg said to Tim Green - Nothing Left Unsaid.

Goldberg was also critical of Vince McMahon and WWE during an interview with the Steve & Captain Evil podcast in December. He believes the company went back on its promise to give him a retirement match after he agreed to wrestle Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber 2022.

Don’t think the AEW fanbase would welcome Goldberg so it’s stance is moot

The only time he being there would make sense is when Wardlow was white hot and he needed someone to squash.

AEW "too cheesy"

...that take is so bad and filled with ignorance, I wouldn't even expect it from the social media hardcore anti-AEW bubble :lol

Its cause he wants his retirement match, if and whenever that happens, to be in WWE. He just hasn't come out and said it.

Honestly who would he even have as a final opponent? Everyone that was meaningful to his career has retired? I can't think of anyone in any company I want to see him wrestle. I guess Brock would be the best pick at this point, but personally I don't care if I see either of them again.
