Store value of a button in a variable when button is clicked out of multiple buttons in Javascript

I am trying to store value of a button when it is clicked out of multiple buttons but when I am console logging the variable it says undefined.

const getBtn = document.querySelectorAll('button')
const playerSelection = getBtn.forEach((item) => {
  item.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    return e.target.textContent
  })
})
console.log(playerSelection)
    <body>
      <div id="buttons">
        <button id="rock">ROCK</button>
        <button id="paper">PAPER</button>
        <button id="scissor">SCISSOR</button>
      </div>
      <p id="output"></p>
    </body>

When I am console logging "e.target.textContent" then it's working but not when I am console logging playerSelection.
