Goldberg's Final WWE Match Set for Atlanta in 2025
Goldberg's Retirement Match Details Emerge
For several months, fans of the WWE have been eagerly anticipating news regarding Goldberg's last match. Although the organization has not made any official announcements, the wrestling icon himself has hinted at a potential farewell match in his hometown.
Goldberg is set to retire from wrestling in 2025, marking the end of his storied career. In a conversation with a local media outlet, he did not disclose specific details about his retirement match but did mention the location.
“It’s going to be in the South. This gives me the opportunity to put a stamp on my career in front of the people I care the most about.”
According to sources, the plan is for Goldberg's final match to take place in Atlanta. WWE is strategically scheduling Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12, coinciding with AEW’s All In: Texas PPV in Atlanta at the State Farm Arena, which many speculate will be the venue for his last performance.

Goldberg's Atlanta Roots and Wrestling Legacy
Goldberg's wrestling career began with WCW, where he gained fame through events primarily held in the Southern United States. As an Atlanta native, one of his most significant achievements, winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from Hollywood Hogan, also occurred in the South.
Goldberg's ties to Atlanta extend beyond wrestling; he played football for the Georgia Bulldogs and the Atlanta Falcons. His connection to the city was further solidified when he appeared at WWE Bad Blood last October at the State Farm Arena, fueling speculation about his retirement match.
As for who will face Goldberg in this anticipated match, that remains uncertain. Speculation suggests that WWE may position GUNTHER as his opponent, especially after their altercation at the WWE Bad Blood event in Georgia. GUNTHER's recent retirement announcement has led many to believe he could provide Goldberg with a fitting farewell.
