A detailed prediction from journalist Bill Apter outlines a scenario in which WWE could see its World Heavyweight Championship change hands twice during the Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12. The forecast centers on the outcome of the title match between the champion, Gunther, and the challenger, Goldberg.
The championship contest was confirmed during the last broadcast of WWE RAW. The announcement, made by the creative team under the direction of Triple H, followed Goldberg’s return to the company to issue a challenge to Gunther.
During a question-and-answer session with WrestleVotes, Apter articulated his perspective on how the match and its immediate aftermath could unfold. He projected an initial victory for Goldberg, followed by a sequence of events that would leave Seth Rollins as the champion by the end of the evening.

“I think Goldberg’s gonna beat Gunther. Not gonna be a long match, but Goldberg’s gonna get injured during the match, and then Seth Rollins comes in with the rest of Paul Heyman’s group. They annihilate Goldberg, [and] Seth calls a referee down. Goldberg gets a successful return because he won a world title, and now Seth Rollins walks away with the title,” Apter stated.

This projection suggests a narrative path where Goldberg secures a world title in a successful return, only for an injury angle to facilitate a championship victory for Rollins. The Saturday Night’s Main Event is one of two major WWE events scheduled for that weekend, with the second edition of Evolution slated for July 13.
