Can Goldberg Defeat Gunther This Saturday Night Main Event?
Their banter took an ugly turn on Monday night’s RAW. Gunther led weeks of verbal exchanges before it escalated. This started as verbal banter, then turned into a title match. Now, the verbal exchanges reached their culmination when Goldberg smacked that punch on Gunther.
Gunther Invites Goldberg’s Wrath
But what exactly did Gunther do to invite Goldberg’s wrath? For starters, he expressed that Goldberg is scared of him, or so he thought. Goldberg stormed in at that very moment, driving his red 1970s Chevy, to confront the man who had taken him for granted.
Goldberg walked towards the ring amid echoing chants of Gold-Berg. Their war of words had reached its limit, and it was time to confront. Gunther stood in the ring unmoved, not in fear but in calculation. He’s not intimidated by legacy as he breaks it, piece by piece, strike by strike. Consequently, their face-off started with Goldberg plunging the mic from Gunther’s hand. The World Heavyweight Champion swung at Goldberg, but Goldberg blocked it and smacked him back.
Goldberg was about to deliver his enduring spear as fallen Gunther got back on his feet. Gunther escaped, cutting short the fans’ excitement. To the untrained eye, Gunther’s retreat looked like fear. But for a tactician, it was reconnaissance. He witnessed the beast up close. Now he’ll plan how to break him. Their eyes locked as they moved farther and farther. It conveyed that there would be no let-off when they finally collide on this Saturday Night Main Event.
Goldberg gave us a glimpse of the storm still inside him and his haunting, primal, and far from finished persona. Now, Gunther has the brains to gain from their last skirmish. And this time, Gunther will come prepared because the last thing he’ll do is take Goldberg for granted again.
The Final Roar of Goldberg?
We should not be astonished if Gunther can hold onto his unbeaten streak, and his methodical style could neutralize Goldberg’s usual burst offense. Gunther isn’t just fighting for his title anymore. In his eyes, Goldberg represents a relic, and he intends to bury that era once and for all. This also hints at the possible retirement of Goldberg. The question is whether he will be willing to go on a low after the defeat.
Fans theorize that Goldberg will win, only to be cashed in on by Mr. MITB, Seth Freakin’ Rollins. This gives a respectable exit to Goldberg amid his hometown crowd. Also builds another story arc for Gunther against Rollins, which we can be sure booking must have explored.
