Goldberg’s promo on SmackDown Tuesday night was not scripted by WWE writers, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. Goldberg’s deal allows him to prepare his own promo material, which is then likely approved by WWE.
“Bill Goldberg’s not being scripted by these writers. Goldberg’s in the Paul Heyman, Brock Lesnar thing where they work everything out and obviously Bill is saying what Bill wants to say. He doesn’t have people telling him what to say,” Meltzer said.
