"WWE has not called me to be a part of any roster. My relationship with WWE stands with the video game and the video game only," Goldberg clarified.

"If they want to extend an olive branch and pick up the phone, then I will make a comment on that once they do it. But prior to that, nothing's been done," he went on to say.

"I have no issues whatsoever working with the WWE as you see with my involvement with WWE 2K17," he said via Forbes.
