Goldberg vs. Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship is anticipated to be Goldberg’s final match in less than two weeks, which some fans find unusual. There has been some backlash regarding WWE’s choice to have Goldberg’s last match be for the world title against Gunther, as many either prefer a different matchup or are not fully supportive of Goldberg’s challenge. On Busted Open Radio, Dave Lagreca voiced his skepticism about the entire situation, especially criticizing the long wait of several months for Goldberg to challenge Gunther after their encounter at WWE Bad Blood. Bully Ray also added his perspective, noting that while he understands the delay, Goldberg’s Hall of Fame status raises questions about why his match is treated as so special.
Fan Take: This situation highlights WWE’s ongoing challenge in balancing nostalgia with fresh storytelling. For fans, Goldberg’s farewell being tied to a major title match could either elevate his legacy or overshadow rising stars, impacting the future direction of WWE’s top-tier competition.
