Maven disputes Goldberg’s claims about Regal incident

In related news, former WWE superstar Maven Huffman has challenged Bill Goldberg’s version of events regarding a controversial 1998 WCW match with William Regal. Speaking to WSI’s James Romero, Maven addressed Goldberg’s previous statements about the February 9, 1998, bout on WCW Nitro.

“Bill’s a nice guy, sweetheart of a person,” Maven told Romero. “But he lived off of this aura and he believed his own hype.”

Maven specifically contested Goldberg’s 2016 comments on The Steve Austin Show, where the former WCW Champion suggested he would have prevailed in a legitimate fight with Regal. “Take the match he had with Regal in WCW, and if you interviewed Bill he would talk about how, ‘Oh, if it was a shoot, I would have killed him.’ No, you would not have,” Maven stated.

The match between Goldberg and Regal has remained a topic of discussion in wrestling circles for over two decades, with Goldberg previously suggesting on Austin’s podcast that Regal had attempted to cause him harm during their encounter.

Lilian Garcia announced she will no longer serve as the ring announcer for Friday Night SmackDown. She shared the news through her Instagram following the conclusion of the March 14 broadcast from Barcelona, Spain.

Garcia revealed that while stepping away from weekly SmackDown duties, she will remain with WWE in multiple capacities. Her new role includes handling ring announcing for all Saturday Night’s Main Event specials, which occur quarterly on NBC and Peacock.

The veteran announcer shared details about her transition in an Instagram post after her final SmackDown appearance.

Garcia originally returned to WWE on the October 21 episode of Raw, resuming her role as a ring announcer. She subsequently moved to the SmackDown brand earlier this year before this recent change in responsibilities.

WWE has yet to announce who will replace Garcia on the Friday night program. Alicia Taylor currently serves as Raw’s ring announcer, while Mike Rome handles announcing duties for NXT.

The announcing roles have been fluid recently, with Garcia filling in for Rome on NXT and Rome appearing on Raw before returning to NXT the following night.
