Following minor setbacks and delays, the WCW legend is finally ready to grace the squared circle one last time.
Moreover, he can even ride off into the sunset as the World Heavyweight Champion. However, standing in his way is the new titleholder, Gunther. With the career of The Ring General rising to new heights, a loss handed to Goldberg is just what he needs at this moment.
Gunther defeating a legend like Goldberg is a major push for his career
Gunther appeared on the June 16th edition of Monday Night RAW to celebrate his World Championship win over Jey Uso last week.
His moment of glory was interrupted by the return of Goldberg. At first, the WWE Hall of Famer congratulated The Ring General on becoming a two-time World Champion. However, the mood quickly changed as he reminded Gunther of their altercation at the 2024 Bad Blood PLE.
On that night, Gunther dragged Goldberg's entire family into the mix in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Having said that, Goldberg announced that he would conclude his business with Gunther in the same city, with a match against him at the July edition of WWE Saturday Night's Main Event.
The match will be contested for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Despite having the home field advantage, Goldberg walking out as the victor would not be a good booking for the company's future. Gunther is the future of the business and is amidst a massive heel run. A win over a legend like Goldberg would elevate his status further in WWE and garner more heat for him, beating the icon in his own hometown.
For Goldberg, it could be his last chance for the business to showcase him as an in-ring competitor by putting over Gunther. Moreover, this could fetch The Ring General matches against more marquee names like Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and even John Cena on his farewell tour, which could be highly beneficial for his WWE run.
With the stage set for a huge collision at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta, it remains to be seen who will reign supreme when the bell rings.
