For months, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg has spoken about his desire for one final retirement match. It appears that the plan is not only in place but is being positioned for a big event, with World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER as his opponent.
The match is reportedly being scheduled to take place at Saturday Night’s Main Event next month on NBC. The event will take place hours after AEW All In: Texas PPV.
The lead-up to the match may begin as soon as this coming week. In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer detailed the plans, noting it was Triple H making the call to have Jey Uso lose the World Title to GUNTHER this past week on Raw because he wanted GUNTHER vs. Goldberg to be a World Title match.
“GUNTHER vs. Goldberg was always going to be the retirement match and it was always going against All in Texas and on NBC, with the idea of maximizing that day with the big match not on Netflix but on free network TV. Goldberg is currently scheduled to return on the 6/16 Raw in Green Bay, although the company has not announced it.”
Goldberg has admitted that he’s hurt himself a few times while training for the match.
