At WWE Saturday Night’s main event, Gunther is set to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Goldberg, promising to punish the Hall of Famer in front of his family and friends. After what is expected to be a successful title defense, Gunther plans to adopt a strategy similar to Goldberg’s. Following recent developments on “WWE Raw,” it seems that Seth Rollins, also a villainous character, might be the next to challenge Gunther.
On a recent episode of “Busted Open After Dark,” WWE veteran Tommy Dreamer talked extensively about the possibility of Gunther turning face and the effects this change would have on the characters involved. Dreamer expressed surprise at the idea, especially suggesting that Seth Rollins would not switch to being a fan favorite, but he showed openness to Gunther’s potential face turn.
Regarding the upcoming high-profile match between Gunther and Goldberg, Dreamer shared mixed feelings about fan reactions. He admitted uncertainty about whether Gunther would receive cheers during the match, especially since it might be Goldberg’s final bout. Dreamer expressed admiration for Goldberg’s persona and the support he gets from fans, hoping Goldberg could have a memorable exit.
Notably, aside from vying for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, this match at WWE SNME on July 12th will be Goldberg’s last career contest.
Fan Take: This storyline is significant as it could signal a major shift in WWE’s narrative dynamics, particularly with Gunther possibly turning from villain to hero. For fans, Goldberg’s farewell match adds emotional weight, making this an event full of high stakes and memorable moments for the sport.
