• Goldberg Might Wrestle One More Match After SNME
WCW Legend Bill Goldberg is scheduled to wrestle his final match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12, where he will face World Heavyweight Champion Gunther for the title. But not everyone believes this will truly be his last appearance in the ring – especially not his son. In an interview with SK Wrestling, Gage Goldberg shared his thoughts on his father’s career and future potential. “He definitely has the mindset and the mentality to be able to go for a longer match and everything, and two matches even, I think he is,” Gage said.
Despite Gage’s confidence, the 58-year-old Goldberg has insisted that the match against Gunther will be his swan song. Still, age doesn’t seem to be a concern for his son.
“If you look at Gunther right now, that was my dad a couple of… well not a couple of years ago, but back in the day that was my dad,” Gage added. “So I think it’s a good challenge for him for sure, and it could be a great retirement match.”

Former WWE wrestler Matt Riddle tweeted the following about it:
“Hmmmm (thinking face emoji)”
WWE released Matt Riddle in 2023 due to some controversies he was involved in outside the ring. He also failed two drug tests in WWE.
After CM Punk returned to WWE at Survivor Series 2023, Riddle tweeted the following:
“Hey @WWE you thought I was hard to deal with (laughing emoji) have fun with 0-2 @CMPunk”
The 0-2 part is a reference to Punk’s UFC career. Riddle is also a former MMA fighter who used to compete in the UFC (before he was fired). He has an MMA record of 10-3.
In 2024, Riddle said the following in an interview with Chris Van Vliet:
“I’ll say this and this isn’t a knock to anybody. Good luck to everybody. If CM Punk can come back, there’s definitely a possibility I can come back. I’ll say this. I have no ill will. I really don’t.”

WWE Sent Top Executive To Calm Locker Room Before Saudi Arabia Flight
With heightened tensions in the Middle East surrounding Night of Champions 2025, WWE has taken extra steps to ease concerns within the roster. According to PWInsider, John Gaburick – the executive who oversees WWE’s Saudi Arabia events – flew from Riyadh to personally meet with the talent before they boarded the charter flight to the Kingdom. His presence was meant to reassure the locker room that the trip would proceed as planned and would be no different from previous visits to the region.
This follows recent unease stemming from the Israel-Iran conflict, which only just reached a ceasefire days before travel began. WWE performers have reportedly been instructed not to discuss the situation publicly, and concerns over safety had grown backstage in the lead-up to the event. Despite that, WWE is moving forward with the show as scheduled, with Gaburick serving as the key liaison between the company and Saudi officials.
