Bill Goldberg made a comeback to WWE last month, and the legendary WCW wrestler soon challenged the current World Heavyweight Champion Gunther for his final match. This bout is scheduled for this Saturday on "Saturday Night Main Event" in Goldberg’s hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Their rivalry began when Gunther mocked Goldberg at Bad Blood 2025, doing so in front of Goldberg’s son.
Just days before his retirement match, Goldberg spoke with "Shack Wrestling" about the significance of ending his career facing the Austrian star. He admitted that while he didn’t anticipate it at first, he always sensed Gunther was destined for greatness. Goldberg also touched on the fan criticism he receives whenever he returns to WWE, calling it a natural part of wrestling. When asked if his comeback was a smart business move for WWE, Goldberg said, “At the end of the day, you see how it benefits the company. I’m not trying to answer these questions. I’m grateful for the opportunity.”
Goldberg seems pleased with how his final WWE storyline is shaping up and wants to cherish his last moments inside the ring.
