The wrestling world is buzzing with speculation as insider reports reveal that WWE is heavily discussing a blockbuster plan to bring back Goldberg for one last epic showdown—and the name being floated as his final opponent? None other than “The Ring General” Gunther.
Behind the scenes at WWE HQ, conversations have intensified in recent weeks about giving Goldberg a proper farewell on live television. And according to sources close to the situation, WWE’s creative team is circling one massive idea: Goldberg vs. Gunther in a generational clash of dominance, legacy, and power.
Goldberg, who hasn’t been seen in WWE since 2022, has openly stated in interviews that he never received the “retirement match” he believes he deserves. The Hall of Famer, known for his explosive spears and unforgettable undefeated streak in WCW, has remained a draw even in sporadic appearances throughout the 2010s. Now, at 58, it looks like WWE may be ready to close his storied career with a true “passing of the torch” moment.
Gunther: The Perfect Final Opponent?
Gunther, the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in WWE history, has dominated every opponent in his path. His methodical, brutal style stands in sharp contrast to Goldberg’s explosive smash-mouth offense, making this potential matchup one of the most anticipated “power vs. power” battles in recent memory.
WWE insiders suggest that Triple H sees huge value in Gunther being the man to put the final stamp on Goldberg’s career. “If anyone can retire Goldberg and make it feel monumental, it’s Gunther,” one source said. “He’s the future of dominance in WWE—and this match could be a defining moment.”
Early Teases Already in Motion?
Fueling the speculation further, fans picked up on a subtle tease during a recent RAW segment. Gunther, standing in the ring after a dominant victory, muttered the words, “Old legends fall like the rest,” before staring directly into the hard cam. It was vague—but fans read between the lines fast.
Could that have been the first hint?
Adding to the intrigue, Goldberg was spotted near Stamford, Connecticut, just days before WWE Backlash, allegedly meeting with creative officials. Though no official announcement has been made, the wrestling community is already dreaming of a huge live TV send-off—possibly at SummerSlam or even the first episode of RAW’s new TV deal in 2025.
The Matchup We Didn’t Know We Needed
This wouldn’t just be another legend returning for a paycheck. If done right, Goldberg vs. Gunther could symbolize the changing of the guard—where one unstoppable force gives way to the next era of brutality.
Imagine the moment: Goldberg, face to face with Gunther. A live crowd split between nostalgia and future glory. Spears vs. chops. Jackhammer vs. powerbomb. The end of one era—ushering in another.
Nothing is confirmed yet, but one thing is clear: if WWE pulls the trigger, this could be one of the most emotionally charged and physically intense retirements in WWE history.
Stay tuned. The Ring General may soon be standing in the way of Goldberg’s final march.
