Gunther is set to defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Goldberg during Saturday Night’s Main Event in Atlanta, where the Hall of Famer aims to take the title from the Austrian superstar. This high-stakes bout has generated anticipation as Goldberg plans to claim the championship on his hometown stage, intensifying the excitement surrounding the Gunther vs Penta SummerSlam showdown.
Goldberg returned to WWE on the June 16 episode of Monday Night RAW, interrupting Gunther’s promo to challenge him for the World Heavyweight Title at SNME XL. This contest has been promoted as Goldberg’s final match in WWE. Just a week before Goldberg’s comeback, Gunther retook the title by defeating Jey Uso in a rematch on RAW following Money in the Bank, confirming his dominance as the reigning champion.
Despite many expecting Goldberg to win the title on Saturday, WWE might have alternate plans, possibly having Gunther retain and ultimately retire Goldberg in a memorable moment. This outcome would pave the way for a title defense against Penta at SummerSlam. Penta is scheduled to face Gunther at the WWE Supershow on July 19, and this match could set up an electrifying rematch at WWE’s biggest summer event, promoted by Triple H as a must-see blockbuster encounter.
Fans remain uncertain about the final storyline, as the creative direction for Saturday Night’s Main Event continues to be unpredictable, keeping viewers on edge about who will emerge victorious.
Could Penta Claim the Title from Gunther at SummerSlam?
If Gunther retains his championship against Goldberg this weekend, the possibility remains that Penta will challenge him at SummerSlam with a chance to win the title. Since his WWE debut, Penta has showcased impressive in-ring skill, earning praise despite a series of losses, and steadily building momentum among the WWE audience.
At 40 years old, Penta stands as a seasoned competitor poised to dethrone Gunther, which would mark a significant milestone in his WWE career by capturing his first company championship. Such a victory would elevate him to a leading position in the men’s division, symbolizing a major shift in WWE’s competitive landscape during the summer.
