Goldberg, being one of the biggest pro wrestling names in the pool free agents, was speculated to be in AEW very soon.

Now, Tony Khan has broken his silence and shared that he was surprised by the comments. Keep reading to know more!
For the unversed, last year, Khan had talked about his respect for Goldberg. He even hinted about bringing him into AEW, considering his free-agent status. However, the 57-year-old made it clear that he won’t be joining Khan’s promotion due to the quality of its content. He had 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,” while talking on 93.7 The Ticket.
Now, Tony Khan has reacted to Goldberg’s remarks while talking on Superstar Crossover. He said, “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. I have a lot of respect for Bill. I was surprised by that because that certainly wasn’t what he said to me when he was talking to me about working here at some point, which I’ve always been open to, and I really like Bill.”
