Stephanie McMahon Reacts to Goldberg Calling Triple H a “Jackass”

Goldberg’s frustration with WWE just got a response — and this time, it came straight from Stephanie McMahon during WrestleMania 42 weekend.

After Goldberg went off during a March 29, 2026 meet-and-greet — blasting WWE for cutting his mic during his retirement speech and even backing a fan who called Triple H a “jackass” — a fan brought the situation directly to Stephanie McMahon at a WWE meet-and-greet during WrestleMania 42 week.

When asked how she felt about Goldberg’s recent comments, Stephanie McMahon initially tried to clarify the timing before brushing it off entirely: “When? A long time ago or recently?”

After being told it just happened, she didn’t escalate the situation or defend anyone directly — instead, she gave a measured response that made it clear she wasn’t putting much weight on the remarks: “Well, people say a lot of things.” Even when the fan pushed further and tried to dismiss Goldberg altogether, Stephanie kept the same tone and made her stance clear: “Yeah, I don’t [worry about Goldberg].”

The exchange comes after Goldberg’s heated reaction at his own meet-and-greet, where he sarcastically responded to the controversy around his farewell moment — making it clear he felt disrespected when WWE cut off his mic.

“Yeah! What do you think it did for me? It made me really happy. It shows what disrespect they have for me.”

Things escalated further when a fan directly blamed Triple H for the decision, and Goldberg didn’t exactly shut it down: “Probably.” When the fan doubled down and called Triple H a “jackass,” Goldberg fully agreed: “100%.” Despite the anger, Goldberg also admitted he’s not dwelling on it — though he still believes the situation could’ve been handled better: “I ain’t worried about nothing. Could’ve shown a little respect.”

Stephanie’s response now puts a clear contrast on the situation — while Goldberg is openly venting about how his WWE exit played out, WWE leadership doesn’t appear interested in engaging publicly with the criticism. With both sides now on record, the situation leaves a noticeable gap between Goldberg’s frustration and WWE’s response — or lack of one.

Do you think WWE should have handled Goldberg’s retirement moment differently, or is Stephanie McMahon right to brush off the comments? Let us know your thoughts.
