In a revelation that’s sending shockwaves through the WWE Universe, WrestleVotes Radio has reported that Gunther, the current “Ring General” and one of the most dominant forces in modern WWE, is being considered as the man to face Goldberg in what may be the Hall of Famer’s final match ever.
According to WrestleVotes, WWE officials have been internally discussing several names for Goldberg’s last opponent, but Gunther has emerged as the leading candidate, thanks to his credibility, hard-hitting style, and growing star power. The idea? A passing-of-the-torch moment between a legendary powerhouse and a rising European titan.
“There have been internal talks that if Goldberg does have one more match left in him, the ideal opponent—story-wise and stylistically—might be Gunther,” WrestleVotes noted.
🛑 Why Gunther?
Gunther, the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion in modern WWE history, has garnered critical acclaim for his intense, old-school in-ring style and unmatched physical presence. He represents everything that Goldberg once brought to the ring—intimidation, impact, and invincibility—but in a more grounded, athletic form. A match between these two would be a battle of eras, and a symbolic handing over of the mantle of destruction.
From a narrative perspective, Gunther retiring Goldberg could not only elevate his status to a true main-event level but also offer a legendary finale to Goldberg’s storied career—one that includes multiple world titles, a historic WCW streak, and marquee wins over top names like Brock Lesnar and The Rock.
🎤 What Has Goldberg Said?
Goldberg has previously mentioned that he still “owes” WWE one final match under his current deal. He has expressed his desire for a proper retirement bout—preferably in front of a live crowd and under meaningful circumstances. Fans have long speculated on who might get that honor, with names like Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar, and even John Cena floating around. But Gunther? That would be a shock—and a thrill.
🤯 What This Could Mean for WrestleMania or Crown Jewel
If this match becomes a reality, it could headline a major event like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, or even Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia, where Goldberg has previously had several high-profile matches. The setting would need to be grand—and the stakes even grander.
A Goldberg vs. Gunther clash could be booked as a true legend vs. future legend scenario—two generational wrecking machines meeting in a brutal, no-nonsense fight. No titles needed. Just pride, legacy, and finality.
🔥 Stay tuned, because if this report becomes fact, we may be on the verge of witnessing one of the most emotionally charged and physically punishing farewell matches in WWE history.
