WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event 40 Exhibition Concludes with Gunther's Triumph over Goldberg via Submission
In a historic night at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, WWE legend Goldberg faced off against the formidable Gunther in his final match, marking the end of an illustrious career. The World Heavyweight Championship match, which started at 6:42 pm PST, lasted about 14 and a half minutes and saw Gunther retain the title after Goldberg passed out in the ring.
The match began with a fierce exchange between the two wrestlers, with both Goldberg and Gunther smashing into each other, shoulder-first. Goldberg demonstrated his resilience, delivering multiple shoulder blocks and a spinebuster. However, Gunther targeted Goldberg's injured knee, relentlessly attacking it throughout the match.
The crowd, filled with "Goldberg" chants before the match started, rallied behind the veteran wrestler as he fought Gunther's offense. The atmosphere reached a crescendo when a referee counted two and three-quarters, leading the audience to believe that Goldberg had won. But alas, the count was premature, and the match continued.
Goldberg retaliated with a Spear and a Jackhammer, but Gunther showed his resilience by no-selling Goldberg's chop, receiving a big babyface reaction. The crowd was on the brink of losing its mind when they thought it was three, only for Gunther to apply a rear-naked choke and secure the victory.
Unfortunately, the night was not without incident. Earlier in the evening, Seth Rollins, who has a history of knee injuries, appeared to suffer a knee injury during his match against LA Knight. Rollins collapsed clutching his leg, causing the match to be abruptly ended. The nature of the injury is still unknown, with speculation swirling as to whether it was a work or not.
As for Goldberg's son, Gage, there is no evidence to suggest that he was involved in the event or the storyline surrounding Goldberg versus Gunther. Goldberg walked out with his son and the icon Ernest "The Cat" Miller after the match.
The night also saw Gunther's ring introduction at 6:32 p.m. PST, and a surprising moment when Goldberg threw Gunther to the ground during the match. Goldberg also performed a spear on Charles Robinson, adding to the excitement of the evening.
This final match for Goldberg was a testament to his enduring spirit and determination, even in the face of adversity. His career, filled with iconic moments and memorable matches, will undoubtedly be remembered for years to come.
