Goldberg’s Retirement Match LEAKED? WWE’s Secret July Plans Revealed!”

The legendary Bill Goldberg might finally be stepping into the WWE ring for the last time—and the date and location are already creating buzz across the wrestling world.

According to a new report from Fightful Select, WWE is planning to feature Goldberg at the Saturday Night’s Main Event scheduled for July 12, 2025. The match is rumored to be a major showdown, likely positioned as his official retirement match after a storied career.

Goldberg recently hinted during an interview that his retirement match would take place “in the South,” possibly in Atlanta, Georgia a city deeply tied to his legacy. After playing football for the University of Georgia and briefly for the Atlanta Falcons, Goldberg rose to wrestling stardom in WCW, which was also based in Atlanta.

This has led to strong speculation that the July 12 event could happen in Atlanta, paying tribute to Goldberg’s roots as he exits the ring for good.

Interestingly, WWE’s rumored booking of Goldberg on July 12 would go head-to-head with AEW’s All In: Texas, scheduled for the very same day. This strategic move by WWE could be a calculated ratings war, drawing attention away from AEW’s flagship pay-per-view by spotlighting a legend’s retirement.

Goldberg last appeared in WWE at Bad Blood in October 2024, in a brief confrontation that hinted at a potential match with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther a dream bout that could now be realized.

While WWE has yet to officially confirm the July 12 Saturday Night’s Main Event, anticipation is building fast. The next scheduled edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event will take place on May 24 at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, but all eyes are on what could come later this summer.

If Goldberg does return for his final match on July 12, it could be one of the most emotional nights in WWE history—especially if it’s in Atlanta. With AEW’s All In set for the same day, fans could witness another round in the ongoing WWE vs. AEW rivalry.
