WWE Hall of Fame star Goldberg returned to Raw this week and set up a world title match against GUNTHER for July 12 at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta, Georgia.
It’s been widely assumed this is Goldberg’s retirement match, and his new shirt on WWE Shop even has “Goldberg’s Last Ride” written on it. However, Goldberg never said it’s his final match during his return promo. That left the door open for fantasy bookers to at least consider the idea of Goldberg beating GUNTHER and winning the gold in his hometown, before losing it to someone else later on.
That possibility is no longer on the table, because WWE’s press release today on ticket sales for the July 12 weekend specifically uses the phrase “Goldberg’s final match.”

Whether Goldberg wins or loses in three minutes against GUNTHER on July 12, it’s officially the final match of his pro wrestling career. Does that mean Goldberg will ruin wrestling before John Cena does, if he beats John to the punch by retiring as the world heavyweight champion in July?
