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

#2 CM Punk thinks Goldberg is the smartest man in the room

CM Punk

Former WWE Champion CM Punk had tweeted out Goldberg's name when asked about his favorite wrestler in 2020. Punk occasionally answers fan questions on his official Twitter handle. When one fan recently asked him about his favorite wrestler in 2020, Punk took Goldberg's name. The comments were made soon after Goldberg's return on RAW Legends Night. What's worth noting here is that Punk called Goldberg 'smartest man in the room'.

Goldberg's WWE contract is certainly a perk-filled one

Punk's comments about Goldberg referred to the fact that the former two-time Universal Champion is a smart guy who has managed to stay relevant two decades after his heyday, and is still earning a huge paycheck in the biggest pro wrestling company in the world, while doing the least amount of work.

Goldberg revealed last year that he has a mere two matches per year in his WWE contract. What more can one ask when they're earning millions while wrestling just two matches in a year? Goldberg's impressive physique, his overall aura, and his star power all contributed to him bagging a lucrative contract with WWE, and it's safe to say that he will be called back as long as casual viewers keep tuning in to see him in action.
