Goldberg made his first return to “WWE Raw” since his June 16th confrontation with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, appearing on Monday’s show in Providence, Rhode Island. The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion took center stage during the go-home event for Saturday Night’s Main Event, where he faced off against Gunther, who addressed the audience and taunted his challenger.
Gunther started by trash-talking Goldberg, claiming he had been speaking into the microphone for weeks without any response from the WWE Hall of Famer. Before Gunther could finish, a roaring car engine was heard outside the arena, and Goldberg suddenly entered the ring, disarming Gunther by knocking the microphone from his hand. Goldberg struck Gunther across the face, knocking him down and preparing for his signature spear, but Gunther narrowly escaped the ring before Goldberg could execute the move. The two are set to battle for the World Heavyweight Championship in the main event on Saturday, with the match billed as Goldberg’s retirement bout—though commentary hinted that the Hall of Famer still has a real shot at capturing the title.
Fan Take: This intense showdown between Goldberg and Gunther is electrifying for WWE fans, as it pits a legendary veteran against a dominant champion in a high-stakes title match. It could mark a defining moment for the sport, blending nostalgia with fierce competition and potentially reshaping the heavyweight division’s future.
