On the July 7, 2025, episode of WWE Raw, an electrifying confrontation unfolded that left the Providence, Rhode Island crowd roaring. World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, known as The Ring General, stepped into the ring to address his upcoming title defense against WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg at Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12. Gunther, brimming with confidence, mocked Goldberg, claiming he had “verbally destroyed” the legend over the past two weeks without a response, suggesting fear kept Goldberg at bay.
The arena erupted as the sound of burning rubber echoed from a video on the tron, showing Goldberg arriving in a red Chevrolet Camaro. The 58-year-old icon stormed the ring, wasting no time. Without uttering a word, Goldberg slapped the microphone from Gunther’s hand, daring the champion to take a swing. When Gunther attempted a cheap shot, Goldberg blocked it and unleashed a thunderous right hand, dropping the champion to the canvas. The crowd chanted “holy shit” as Goldberg stalked Gunther, setting up for his signature spear. Sensing danger, Gunther rolled out of the ring and retreated up the ramp, barely escaping the wrath of “Da Man.”
Security personnel swarmed the ring, attempting to contain the chaos as Goldberg stood tall, sending a clear message: he’s ready for war in what’s billed as his final WWE match. The intense brawl has set the stage for a colossal showdown in Atlanta, where Goldberg aims to capture the World Heavyweight Championship and end his storied career on top. Despite the personal loss of his father-in-law, who passed away at 88 just days prior, Goldberg’s focus remains unshaken. Fans are buzzing, anticipating whether Gunther can withstand the legend’s power or if Goldberg will deliver a final, unforgettable performance.
