Goldbergs farewell tour is heating up, and his next stop is Monday Night RAW on January 27 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. While fans eagerly await the WWE Hall of Famers return, the big question remainswho will step up as Goldbergs opponent for his final match?
Initial plans seemed to point toward World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER, with the two even sharing a tense confrontation at Bad Blood. Dave Meltzer shed some light on this in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, stating, The angle was shot with Gunther and that was the planned match. I would presume it wouldnt be for the title. WrestleMania 41 makes sense for it, but it has never been told to us that it would be at Mania.
However, Goldberg vs. GUNTHER might not be as set in stone as fans thought. According to a new report from PWInsiderElite.com, WWE creative has been pitching the idea of GUNTHER facing Logan Paul at WrestleMania 41. Logan Paul, recently shifted to the RAW roster, was even spotted sitting in the crowd during WWEs Netflix debut broadcast. While nothing is officially locked in, the potential clash between GUNTHER and Paul adds a new wrinkle to Goldbergs farewell plans.
Atlanta is a fitting location for Goldbergs return. From his days with the Atlanta Falcons to becoming a WCW legend, the city has played a pivotal role in his career. Fans are expected to pack the arena to witness what could be a pivotal step in his final run.
Meanwhile, WWE is reportedly exploring multiple marquee matchups for WrestleMania 41. Alongside the rumored GUNTHER vs. Logan Paul bout, another big-ticket match being discussed is Cody Rhodes vs. John Cena, further adding to the intrigue surrounding the event.
Goldbergs retirement match remains shrouded in mystery, but his January 27 appearance on RAW will surely provide more clues. Whether WWE sticks with GUNTHER or surprises fans with a different opponent, Goldbergs farewell tour promises to be a memorable journey.
Who do you think should face Goldberg in his retirement match? Should WWE stick with GUNTHER, or could Logan Paul be the bigger draw? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
