In an interview with metro.co.uk, Bill Goldberg commented on how his match against Dolph Ziggler at WWE Summerslam helped him following the Super Show Down match against The Undertaker:
“It was very important to nobody but me, OK? People were very critical of me, and I’ll be honest, I never really respond to it – I do care what people think. But when I know the whole deal and everything, it’s like, come on guys. Give me a break – I knocked myself out, dude.”
“Now let me see you walk down the street – let alone pick up a 320 lbs dude – when you’re knocked out.”
“I think for me, what the Ziggler match did, was reaffirm my own self-confidence, not for anyone else. But I just needed to go out there and go through the motions, and know, man, just ’cause you stumble once, [it] doesn’t define you.”
