The emergence of rumors about WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg's potential comeback continues to intensify ahead of WWE Backlash 2025. The current Universal Champion has announced a retirement match for 2025 which has fans guessing if they will see him soon. The status of Goldberg's participation in Backlash this Saturday remains unknown.
At the Bad Blood premium event this year Goldberg created excitement about his upcoming matches when he unexpectedly met Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER. The powerful encounter between these two top contenders at the PLE created immediate speculation about a generational showdown for an upcoming premium live event. Since the brief segment aired no further developments have occurred in the storyline across WWE programming.
WrestleVotes recently faced questions regarding Goldberg's possible Backlash appearance. The response failed to confirm the news but shared information about internal thoughts regarding the matter.
“I haven’t heard anything. The Bad Blood show marked GUNTHER's first encounter with Goldberg. They haven’t done anything since. McAfee comes from professional football just like Goldberg does. Pay-Per-View programming from Saudi Arabia will soon be available. Goldberg's match with GUNTHER could begin in May if WWE plans to have them fight at the June Saudi Arabia PLE. There’s no word on whether Goldberg will appear at Backlash on Saturday nor is he supposed to participate.
The current backstage requirements match this development. Backlash on May 10th will go forward without Goldberg's participation according to reports. The Saudi Arabia PLE in June appears to be WWE's choice venue for setting up the next chapter in this teased feud given its history of showcasing legacy stars and spectacular battles.
Audiences will need to watch carefully to see whether WWE chooses to spark a renewed Goldberg-GUNTHER feud in upcoming weeks. A potential showdown would serve as a spectacular final match for Goldberg while pitting him against one of WWE’s current top champions.
WWE continues building toward what promises to be a fascinating blockbuster match this coming year.
