Saturday night will mark the end of a career for a WWE icon.
Saturday Night’s Main Event is back on WWE programming, and the July 12 show of the special event won’t just be the 40th edition of it, but it will be headlined by the final match of Goldberg. The WWE Hall of Famer has been one of the most menacing wrestlers to ever step foot in the ring, and he will try to go out with a big bang when he faces Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship.
While the night likely will be dedicated to Goldberg, other bouts will take place. LA Knight has made it his personal mission to mess with Seth Rollins, and he’ll finally get a one-on-one match with ‘The Visionary.’ Plus, Drew McIntyre is back in the ring.

Goldberg calling it a career
It be will be the end of the road for Goldberg, as he caps of a career that made him one of the most iconic powerhouse wrestlers the business has seen.
A former all-SEC linebacker for the Georgia Bulldogs, Goldberg started his wrestling career for WCW in 1997. After competing in dark matches for the promotion, he made his television debut in September where he went on a remarkable undefeated streak that catapulted him to stardom. He started his career with a 173-0 streak, capturing the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in the process.
He appeared briefly for WWE in 2003-04 and has made sporadic appearances as a wrestling icon since then, including being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018. But he still had bright spots in the ring, including winning the WWE Universal Championship in 2017 and 2020.
Goldberg has the chance to add to his decorated career against Gunther, but if not, he will end his wrestling career a three-time WWE champion, a one-time WCW World Champion, two-time United States Champion and one-time WCW Tag Team Champion.
