WWE Sets Date And Location For Gunther vs. Goldberg
A challenge was issued and accepted on WWE RAW, confirming a major championship match for the upcoming Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta.
A first-time-ever match between Gunther and Goldberg has been made official for the Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12 in Atlanta, Georgia. The confrontation that sealed the bout took place during the June 16 episode of WWE RAW.
While Gunther was in the ring addressing his recent reclamation of the World Heavyweight Championship, Goldberg made his return to the program. The Hall of Famer walked to the ring and directly confronted the champion before issuing a concise challenge.
“YOU’RE NEXT,” Goldberg stated.
The segment formally establishes the direction for both competitors heading into the summer. The challenge occurred one week after Gunther defeated Jey Uso on the June 9 edition of WWE RAW to become the new World Heavyweight Champion, a title change reportedly designed to facilitate this specific marquee match-up.
This encounter is positioned as the central bout in what is expected to be Goldberg’s retirement tour. According to WWE Hall of Famer JBL, the booking represents a compelling clash of styles.
“The perfect matchup,” JBL commented on the contest.
