WWE now promoting Gunther vs. Goldberg as Goldberg’s last match

Gunther vs. Goldberg at Saturday Night’s Main Event is now officially being promoted as Goldberg’s final match.

In an announcement regarding ticket sales today, WWE wrote that the July 12 Saturday Night’s Main Event episode will be “headlined by Goldberg’s final match versus WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.” It was already expected that this would be Goldberg’s retirement match, but — with the title being on the line — was only advertised as “Goldberg’s Last Ride” until now.

WWE announced that individual tickets for Saturday Night’s Main Event and the company’s Evolution PLE will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Eastern next Wednesday (June 25). The shows are taking place at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on back-to-back days.

Atlanta is where Goldberg’s wrestling career began at the WCW Power Plant. He went to the University of Georgia in Athens when he was in college, later playing in the NFL for the Atlanta Falcons.

Goldberg last wrestled in 2022 when he faced Roman Reigns in Saudi Arabia. The 58-year-old’s decision to return is because he wasn’t happy ending his career with that match and is determined to go out on his terms.

No other matches have been announced for the July 12 Saturday Night’s Main Event card yet.
