Gunther dominated and defeated Pat McAfee at WWE Backlash 2025 in a match that exceeded expectations. The Austrian star brutalised his rival with a series of deadly moves and chops right from the word go but the punter, to his credit, kept coming back for more. Gunther eventually put him away with a sleeper to secure a win at the first Premium Live Event after WrestleMania 41.?After the match, he seemingly lauded Pat for putting in a solid effort and brought their feud to an end. This has opened the door for him to move on to his next feud, which may see him take on a WCW legend in his retirement match.
Goldberg was one of the mainstays of World Championship Wrestling in the 90s. He has also had multiple runs with the WWE. Some time ago, he announced that he would have one last match in the Stamford-based promotion this year. Last year, he had a confrontation with Gunther at the Bad Blood event. WWE¡¯s creative team could revisit that segment to set the stage for ¡®The Ring General¡¯ to lock horns with Goldberg at an upcoming Premium Live Event (PLE).?
Hypothetically speaking, the feud can start as early as the latest edition of WWE Raw this Monday (May 12). Gunther could brag about his actions at Backlash and even demand a rematch with Jey Uso for the Yeet Master¡¯s World Heavyweight Championship, only to be interrupted by ¡®Da Man¡¯. This could lead to a match between them at Money in the Bank this June. That said, this angle is purely speculative at this point and nothing is set in stone.?
Goldberg returned to the WWE in 2016 and beat Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series. He subsequently locked horns with the likes of Braun Strowman, Drew McIntyre, and the late Bray Wyatt/The Fiend. Goldberg has not had match since losing to Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber 2022.?
