Gunther to come face-to-face with a 58-year-old WWE Hall of Famer on Raw after picking up a win at Backlash 2025?
Gunther dominated and defeated Pat McAfee at WWE Backlash 2025 in a match that exceeded expectations. The Austrian star brutalised his rival with a series of deadly moves and chops right from the word go but the punter, to his credit, kept coming back for more. Gunther eventually put him away with a sleeper to secure a win at the first Premium Live Event after WrestleMania 41. After the match, he seemingly lauded Pat for putting in a solid effort and brought their feud to an end. This has opened the door for him to move on to his next feud, which may see him take on a WCW legend in his retirement match.
Goldberg to confront Gunther on WWE Raw?
Goldberg was one of the mainstays of World Championship Wrestling in the 90s. He has also had multiple runs with the WWE. Some time ago, he announced that he would have one last match in the Stamford-based promotion this year. Last year, he had a confrontation with Gunther at the Bad Blood event. WWE's creative team could revisit that segment to set the stage for 'The Ring General' to lock horns with Goldberg at an upcoming Premium Live Event (PLE).
Hypothetically speaking, the feud can start as early as the latest edition of WWE Raw this Monday (May 12). Gunther could brag about his actions at Backlash and even demand a rematch with Jey Uso for the Yeet Master's World Heavyweight Championship, only to be interrupted by 'Da Man'. This could lead to a match between them at Money in the Bank this June. That said, this angle is purely speculative at this point and nothing is set in stone.
About Goldberg's recent feuds
Goldberg returned to the WWE in 2016 and beat Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. He subsequently locked horns with the likes of Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, and the late Bray Wyatt/The Fiend. Goldberg has not had match since losing to Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber 2022.

What began as a standard matchup quickly turned personal, violent, and headline-worthy. Aleister Black vs LA Knight interrupted by Seth Rollins Aleister Black and LA Knight were putting on a hard-hitting contest, with both stars trading signature moves in what looked like a potential show-stealer. LA Knight landed a Burning Hammer, while Black responded with a sliding knee and springboard moonsault. But before fans could witness a conclusion, Seth Rollins interrupted the match and delivered a Stomp to Knight, costing him a clean finish. Black, who suffered an eye injury years ago due to Rollins' former disciple Buddy Matthews, wasn't ready to let the moment slide. He confronted Rollins in the ring, reigniting a personal rivalry that WWE never fully resolved. Seth Rollins and company lay waste to LA Knight: SmackDown highlights, June 6, 2025 The tension between Black and Rollins was cut short when Bron Breakker blindsided Black with a brutal spear. The crowd's reaction turned to shock as Rollins' faction, including Breakker and Bronson Reed - continued the beatdown. Moments later, Knight was also taken out with a Senton and a spear, marking a total shutdown of two of Rollins' top Money in the Bank rivals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like You Can Make Massive Side Income By Learning Order Flow Analysis TradeWise Learn More Undo The ambush didn't end there.

With Paul Heyman also appearing with the group earlier in the night, speculation about this being WWE's next dominant faction is growing louder. Social media lit up with passionate responses following the chaotic sequence. While some fans praised the intensity and storytelling, many were disappointed that a promising match between Aleister Black and LA Knight didn't get a proper finish.

Another fan commented, 'Y'all couldn't just let a great match have a finish?' expressing frustration with what some see as overbooking. Meanwhile, a longtime viewer recalled, 'He kept that bad eye throughout his entire AEW run - thanks to Rollins when he gave the orders to Murphy, now Buddy Matthews.'
