3 WWE Superstars who criticized Goldberg's return and 2 who support him

#4 Finn Balor defends Goldberg's WWE return

While several wrestlers were taking jibes at Goldberg's WWE return on RAW Legends Night, current NXT Champion Finn Balor didn't seem to have a problem with the same. Balor had nothing but praise for WWE's legends, and said that he welcomes them with open arms.

"Those guys have carved out their legacy and proven over the years that they belong on the show. Whether it's for one night or it's every night, that doesn't affect me and it shouldn't affect anyone else."

"For me, when the tide comes in, all the ships rise. If we can have Goldberg on the show, if we can have anyone on the show for one night, I feel it's better one night than never. I welcome these legends with open arms!"

Goldberg would certainly appreciate Balor's comments

Goldberg's return has been marred with criticism from fans and current wrestlers alike. He must have been delighted to learn what Balor thinks of him and other legends of the past.

Goldberg was a megastar in WCW during the Monday Night Wars, and has somehow managed to stay relevant all these years later. Even though a lot of fans hate him, one can't say that he doesn't have a unique aura around him that keeps viewers glued to their TV screens.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
