Goldberg Returns, Challenges GUNTHER To One Last Match For World Title At WWE SNME
According to a report from Wrestling Inc, the rumors are now officially true – it’s World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER "Who’s next," or rather, who will be last for Goldberg when the men face off at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta, Georgia next month. Goldberg returned during Monday’s episode of "WWE Raw" when GUNTHER was in the ring celebrating his victory for the title over Jey Uso last week.
As reported by Wrestling Inc, "The Ring General" came out and declared that he had heard the chatter and rumors, but he was there to talk about reality. He said that he knew Seth Rollins was lurking with his Money in the Bank briefcase. He called him out and said he’d make it easy for Rollins, but it was Goldberg who answered GUNTHER’s challenge. Goldberg said it was GUNTHER who started their issues, but it would be him to end them in the city where it all started.
The origins of this highly anticipated match date back to October of last year, when GUNTHER initially called out the WWE Hall of Famer at Bad Blood in Atlanta, as noted by Wrestling Inc. At the time, Goldberg was seated ringside with his family. Following the confrontation, Goldberg revealed on "SEC Nation" during college football season that he was gearing up for a retirement match sometime in 2025, and fans assumed he would challenge "The Ring General." Rumors began to pick up once again when it was revealed that Saturday Night’s Main Event would take place in Atlanta, following AEW’s All In Texas event earlier that day.
In recent weeks, Goldberg had previously revealed that he had suffered a few setbacks while training for his retirement match, as reported by Wrestling Inc. He noted he was being treated with stem cells for lingering injuries to his back, shoulder, and knee. Despite these setbacks, Goldberg appears to be ready to face GUNTHER in what promises to be an exciting match.
The question on everyone’s mind is, will this be Goldberg’s last match? As Wrestling Inc reports, Goldberg has been hinting at retirement for some time now, and this match against GUNTHER could be his final bow. The WWE universe will be watching with bated breath as these two wrestling giants face off in the ring.
The historical significance of this match cannot be overstated. As Wrestling Inc notes, Goldberg and GUNTHER have a long and storied history, with GUNTHER initially calling out Goldberg at Bad Blood in Atlanta last year. This match will be a culmination of that storyline, and fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome.
In conclusion, the stage is set for an epic battle between Goldberg and GUNTHER at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta, Georgia. With Goldberg’s retirement on the line, this match promises to be an exciting and potentially historic event. As reported by Wrestling Inc, WWE fans will be tuning in to see if Goldberg can emerge victorious one last time.
