Nick Aldis to bring back WWE legend for first title match in 1,213 days on RAW? Possibility explored
WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis will be replacing Adam Pearce on the upcoming edition of Monday Night RAW. The blue brand's GM could bring back a legendary name for a huge title match on the red show. The legend in question is Goldberg.
Goldberg last competed inside the ring on February 19, 2022, at Elimination Chamber. Last year, the legend announced that he would wrestle in his final match in 2025. Since this announcement, many people have been speculating who could be Da Man's last opponent in WWE. Several rumors suggest that the former Universal Champion could face a beast like Gunther in his last outing. The two men even had an altercation at Bad Blood last year.
For those unaware, The Ring General dethroned Jey Uso as the World Heavyweight Champion on last week's RAW. Following this title change, reports emerged that the Triple H-led creative team took this decision as they wanted Gunther vs. Goldberg with a title on the line for Saturday Night's Main Event on July 12, 2025. However, this is all speculation at the moment, and nothing has been confirmed.
Nick Aldis, who will be replacing Adam Pearce on WWE RAW, could bring in Da Man after 1,213 days on the upcoming edition of the red brand to book a surprise world title match with Gunther. This wouldn't come as a huge shock, as the Triple H-led creative team has been booking title matches on their weekly programming in recent times.
WWE analyst believes Goldberg will lose to Gunther
During an edition of his Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts said that if the Triple H-led creative team wanted to stay true to Gunther's on-screen persona, then they would book The Ring General to destroy Goldberg in his final match.
"Goldberg beat [Brock] Lesnar. Goldberg beat Bray [Wyatt]. Goldberg, he beats people. Now, if you want to stay true to the Gunther character, that would be the thinking going in like [sic] I would love that if we went in going, 'Oh man, they ended Jey’s title reign just to put the title on Gunther so that Goldberg could beat him,' and then Gunther just destroys Goldberg," Roberts said.
It will be interesting to see what the Stamford-based promotion has planned for Goldberg's final match.
