AEW has been under a lot of flak in the past few months, not just from fans but also from other wrestling personalities. Eric Bischoff and Bubba Ray Dudley are infamous for their critique of the organization. Goldberg recently added to these criticisms, calling the company too cheesy. This remark provoked a response from AEW CEO, Tony Khan.

Tony Khan claimed that he met with Bill Goldberg several times, who was looking to work at the company. The AEW President added that he had several nice meetings with the former Universal Champion and was looking forward to working with him.

The AEW authority figure added that he still had a lot of respect for the wrestling veteran. He was simply taken aback as this was not the conversation he had with the wrestler. To conclude, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars clarified that he still really liked Bill.

There have been rumors about Goldberg making his AEW debut for the past 12 months, especially at All In. The AEW President even mentioned speaking to him at the Double or Nothing 2023 media scrum. However, nothing has come to fruition yet.
