Bill Goldberg is set to conclude his illustrious professional wrestling career after 28 years, as he prepares for what is being called his final match. The WWE legend will face Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12, marking a significant return to Atlanta – the city where he first met Gunther during the October Bad Blood pay-per-view.
This match is expected to be highly charged, with Gunther making his first defense of his newly reclaimed world title against the iconic Goldberg. In their previous encounter, Gunther notably provoked Goldberg, who was in attendance, setting the stage for this dramatic showdown. With Goldberg being a celebrated figure in both WCW and WWE, fans are eager to see if he can secure one last title before officially retiring.
Additionally, Saturday Night’s Main Event will feature another exciting match: LA Knight versus Seth Rollins. The rivalry between Knight and Rollins has intensified, particularly after Knight faced setbacks during consecutive Money in the Bank events due to interference from Rollins’ allies. Knight is ready for retribution as he looks to overcome the obstacles in his path.
More action awaits as Randy Orton takes on Drew McIntyre, marking McIntyre’s return to the ring after a brief hiatus. Their confrontation follows a prior altercation punctuated by Orton’s classic RKO, heightening the anticipation for their matchup.
Moreover, fans can look forward to Dominik Mysterio defending his Intercontinental Championship against AJ Styles, with the latter eagerly awaiting his shot after a minor injury delayed their initial clash.
As the event approaches, WWE continues to build excitement around its pivotal matches, affirming the passion and enthusiasm surrounding professional wrestling. Saturday Night’s Main Event promises to be a memorable occasion, with Goldberg’s farewell adding a touch of nostalgia for long-time wrestling fans.
The live stream will be available on Peacock starting at 8 p.m. ET, offering fans a thrilling opportunity to witness these epic matchups.
