Bill Goldberg’s next victim will be his last. Goldberg ends his professional wrestling career 28 years after his debut, looking to add one last world title to his resume. Gunther vs. Goldberg headlines WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12.
Gunther’s first defense of his second world title reign comes against a bona fide legend. Gunther and Goldberg first crossed paths at October’s Bad Blood pay-per-view. Goldberg returns to Atlanta, the site of their first encounter and home base of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), for Goldberg’s retirement match.
One other match is confirmed for Saturday Night’s Main Event. Seth Rollins and LA Knight have been at odds since Money in the Bank. They collide in a bitter meeting on the same weekend as WWE Evolution.
Take a look below at the confirmed matches for Saturday Night’s Main Event and take a glance at the crystal ball of what may come. The event streams live on Peacock on July 12 with the main card starting at 8 p.m. ET.
2025 WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event matches
World Heavyweight Championship — Gunther (c) vs. Goldberg: WWE planted the seeds for Gunther vs. Goldberg eight months ago. Gunther provoked Goldberg, who was seated ringside at Bad Blood. After defeating Jey Uso to regain the world title, Gunther turns his attention to his most experienced opponent. WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg, a former WCW and WWE world champion, wrestles for the first time since losing to Roman Reigns in 2022.
LA Knight vs. Seth Rollins: Knight is 0-3 in consecutive Money in the Bank matches. That undesirable distinction wouldn’t be true if not for Rollins’ associates, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed, interfering in the match. Knight is seething for revenge, desperate to beat the man who stopped him from ascending the mountain top.
2025 WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event predictions
Intercontinental Championship — Dominik Mysterio (c) vs. AJ Styles: A minor injury postponed Mysterio’s title defense at Night of Champions. Styles is owed an intercontinental title shot, and Saturday Night’s Main Event seems like an appropriate venue.
Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria: Bayley and Valkyria’s independent issues with women’s intercontinental champion Becky Lynch put them in each other’s crosshairs. Valkyria’s obsession with Lynch cost Bayley a title match, leading to hostilities between them. Bayley vs. Valkyria, perhaps in a title eliminator, is a logical step forward.
