The Undertaker faced Goldberg at WWE Super ShowDown in 2019. The dream match quickly turned into a nightmare due to botched moves. One of the deadliest botches was when Goldberg did not land the Jackhammer on The Undertaker properly.

It was an accident for which The Undertaker didn't hold Goldberg responsible but admits it could have ended his career. The Deadman said that he regretted the move as it could have been disastrous:

"Maybe if I was working more often I would have recognized the fact that, ‘Maybe we shouldn’t do that.’ That was one of those instances where two inches [difference in landing], I don’t get up.”
