Goldberg's Last Match at Saturday Nights Main Event
The recent episode of WWE Saturday Nights Main Event 2025 was broadcast live from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. The highlight of the event was a championship match where Gunther defended his World Heavyweight title against Goldberg, surrounded by his family and friends.
Goldberg made a memorable entrance, accompanied by his son and friends, marking his final appearance in a WWE ring. As the match commenced, Goldberg showcased his strength, initially overpowering Gunther, who struggled to make an impact with his chops.
Goldberg executed a clothesline followed by a Jackhammer, but Gunther countered with a clothesline of his own. The action intensified as Gunther attempted to climb the ropes, only to be brought down by Goldberg.
Gunther shifted the momentum by targeting Goldberg's injured knees. Despite this, Goldberg retaliated with a Spine Buster. Gunther attempted a powerbomb, but Goldberg countered, tossing him aside. In a moment of chaos, Goldberg accidentally speared the referee, leaving him vulnerable to Gunther's knee brace attack.
Gunther Submits Goldberg to Retain Championship
Gunther taunted Gage Goldberg, who was present at ringside, leading to a confrontation that was quickly quelled by security. As Gunther returned to the ring, Goldberg managed to land a Spear and a Jackhammer, but Gunther kicked out just in time.
With Goldberg unable to stand due to his injuries, Gunther seized the opportunity to apply a Sleeper Hold, rendering Goldberg unconscious and securing his victory. Following the match, Goldberg's friends and family joined him in the ring, where he expressed his apologies to fans for not meeting expectations.
Thank you Goldberg.
