Former WWE and WCW star Bill Goldberg posted the following on his Twitter page: "So I hear the WWE made an example out of JR because he was on camera being interviewed at Brock’s UFC event. Things never change do they. Give’m hell JR!! Sounds like something they would do. Just speaking out for my buddy JR."
Goldberg then added, "Let’s just say I don’t know all the facts about JR’s situation and the WWE….hell, I don’t really know anything about it. So don’t mind me.."
