He heavily praised the Beast for such a brave decision. Goldberg added that Lesnar tried to do something different in their encounter to make it look memorable.

I think it was something like that. It wasn't my idea. [Who's idea was it?] Brock. It shows you how brilliant he is. I mean truly, people thought he was just a muscle headed a**h*le. There is a hell of a lot more to Brock than that. You know when you reach a certain part of your career, you have to reinvent yourself. You have to pull things out that people never thought you would do. That bun that he had it was completely different & the character it was different.
Goldberg told Chris Van Vliet

It was a shocker for everyone around the world when Bill Goldberg returned and squashed a terrifying ‘Beast’ in just 86 seconds. That moment created a lot of hype around the two stars that was carried later on to WrestleMania. Their feud culminated after a banger match in Orlando, FL. Besides, the WCW Star said that Lesnar has reached a stage in his career where he tries to experiment with himself to elevate himself.

Moreover, the 47-year-old star is out of WWE right now. He has been on a hiatus since SummerSlam 2023. Recently, Triple H spoke about the plans for a comeback of the Beast. However, there is no profound update on the return of the former WWE Champion due to his name being dragged in the Vince McMahon and Janel Grant case.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio (via PWMania), there have been no significant changes regarding his creative plans. It all depends on when his name would be clear from the s*x trafficking case. The report also suggests that it is a call from WWE for his comeback.

Moreover, he was supposed to return to Royal Rumble this year. However, WWE penciled him out at the last minute. With diminishingly low chances of his return. It is going to be interesting to see how fans would react to this in the near future. WrestleMania 41 is supposed to be a huge event; all eyes are going to be around it to see if the Beast will return around it or not.
