During WWE Bad Blood 2024, the reigning World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER delivered a riveting promo to build anticipation for his forthcoming match at Crown Jewel 2024 against the reigning WWE Universal Champion Cody Rhodes. This promo sparked a heated exchange between GUNTHER and the legendary Bill Goldberg.
In his speech, GUNTHER declared that he had falsely claimed that Goldberg, who was present with his family at ringside, was his idol during an exchange with Bret Hart on RAW.
Directing his attention towards Goldberg’s abilities as a parent and as a wrestler, GUNTHER instigated, hoping Goldberg proved to be a superior father than a wrestler. This statement triggered the WWE Hall of Famer to jump the barricade, indicating a potential face-off with The Ring General.
Contrary to speculations, there is no Goldberg vs. GUNTHER match scheduled for Survivor Series: WarGames 2024 or WrestleMania 41, as per later reports.
During an engaging Backstage Pass Q&A, there was a query about the probability of a Goldberg intervention in GUNTHER’s match at WWE Crown Jewel 2024. Although such a scenario wasn’t confirmed, it has been reported that WWE is considering future engagements involving Goldberg.
As quoted by WrestleVotes, “Yes, I don’t know for sure, but there are plans for Goldberg in the future, yes.”
WWE holds several opportunities for orchestrating a Goldberg versus GUNTHER matchup. The possibilities include events like Saturday Night’s Main Event, Royal Rumble 2024, the February pay-per-view event in Saudi Arabia, and Elimination Chamber 2024.
