Goldberg Returns to WWE to Face Gunther at July Main Event in Atlanta

Goldberg made a highly anticipated return to WWE on RAW, challenging World Heavyweight Champion Gunther to a title match at Saturday Night's Main Event in Atlanta on July 12. Despite the excitement around the matchup, several voices in the wrestling community, including former wrestler Nic Nemeth (Dolph Ziggler) and radio host David LaGreca, criticized the decision to grant Goldberg a title shot given his recent record of losses and limited in-ring activity. Big E revealed he had hoped to be Goldberg's opponent in the legend's retirement match but is sidelined due to injury, adding intrigue to the clash of eras between Goldberg and Gunther. Meanwhile, some fans and commentators expressed skepticism about Goldberg's physical condition, noting signs of aging and diminished stamina during his RAW return. The controversy extends to the booking logic as Jey Uso, the former champion, must compete in the King of the Ring tournament for a rematch, while Goldberg received an immediate title opportunity. Gunther remains the dominant champion heading into this highly anticipated bout, which promises to test both competitors' legacies.
