According to PW Insider, WWE kept Goldberg “very much hidden” backstage. The ThunderDome resides in Tropicana Field, and there are a ton of places where the company can hide people.

He was reportedly hidden backstage until just before his entrance. Additionally, WWE didn’t have Goldberg in the script for the show at all.

The company had timing issues with Goldberg’s return, so it was rushed. Their original idea for last night’s show didn’t include Goldberg closing out the night.
