Why Goldberg retiring as World Champion could be a major mistake at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event | WWE News
Goldberg has been waiting a whole year to step back inside the squared circle for one last time. However, his retirement match will have high-stakes implications. The WCW Icon will battle Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. The match will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, Goldberg’s hometown. Despite it being his last match and happening in his home field, WWE could be making a huge mistake if they let Goldberg walk out of the match as the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Goldberg vs Gunther will be a hard-hitting match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event
Goldberg made an appearance at the 2024 WWE Bad Blood PLE and had an altercation with Gunther when he insulted his family and him in front of the audience. A while later, the WCW legend announced that he would have his retirement match in 2025. The match was supposed to happen earlier, but it got delayed due to Goldberg recovering from a stem cell procedure. However, on the June 16th edition of Monday Night RAW, he finally made his return to WWE and confronted Gunther, who had won back the World Heavyweight Championship from Jey Uso a week before. Following some heated words and not forgetting the disrespect Gunther showed him at Bad Blood PLE, Goldberg announced that he will be challenging him for the World title at the upcoming edition of WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event.While Goldberg has the home crowd advantage and can ride off into the sunset in a big way, making him lose to Gunther could be a huge blunder on WWE’s part. The Ring General suffered a huge setback when he tapped out to Jey Uso at WrestleMania 41 and lost the World title. He regained momentum just weeks ago, and a loss to Goldberg could once again push him to the sidelines.On the other hand, Goldberg will be gone, while it will be Gunther who will represent WWE as a full-time competitor for the future. So, having him drop the belt to the WWE Hall of Famer would impact his push significantly. With the event rapidly approaching, it remains to be seen which direction WWE will eventually pursue regarding the Goldberg vs Gunther match.
