Goldberg has since issued the following warning on Instagram:-

Goldberg hasn't been seen in action since SummerSlam 2019, where he hilariously squashed Dolph Ziggler after weeks of baiting from the overmatched 'Show-Off.' This was something of a recovery performance after his bout with The Undertaker went horribly wrong at Crown Jewel 2019 a few months prior.

While there's currently no word on what, exactly, Bill will announce on SD, putting two and two together comes out with a pretty obvious answer: Saudi Arabia. Super ShowDown (27 February) is right around the corner, Goldberg is a major star who fits these shows' remit, and probably wouldn't say no to another big-time payday, so perhaps WWE will use SmackDown to establish an opponent.
