Goldberg explains why Gunther is Next.

Goldberg is getting ready for one final ride as the WWE Hall of Famer will step into the ring one last time at Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta Against WWE World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.

While speaking to 11Alive in a new interview, Goldberg spoke about Gunther being his final opponen.

“Well, as I said the other night, um, on the show, I was vying for my retirement match, and he just so happened to put himself in that spot. I really hope for you — it could have happened to anybody that opened their mouth negatively about me and my family when we were there, um, you know, back for the pay-per-view. So, um… he— I don’t know whether it was planned by him. I—I don’t know. All I can say is he willingly stepped right into that spot, and I willingly accepted him as my final opponent.”
