The match is expected to be the last in Goldberg's legendary career and is taking place in the same city where he won the WCW championship in 1998. Goldberg has a fellow bruiser standing across the ring in the form of Gunther, who is on his second run as world heavyweight champion.

Overshadowing all of the in-ring action was what appeared to be a serious-looking knee injury to Seth Rollins, one of the most important and talented performers on WWE's roster.
