WWE Saturday Night's Main Event and Evolution 2025: Goldberg's Retirement, McIntyre's Return

Why this matters: These events will significantly impact the WWE landscape, potentially ushering in new champions and rivalries. Goldberg's retirement marks the end of an era, while McIntyre's return adds another layer of intrigue to the main event scene.

WWE is set for a monumental weekend with Saturday Night's Main Event and Evolution 2025. The events promise high-stakes matches and potential shifts in the WWE hierarchy.

Saturday Night's Main Event (July 12):

The card is headlined by Gunther vs. Goldberg for the World Heavyweight Championship. This match is particularly significant as it marks Goldberg's retirement after a career spanning 28 years. Goldberg, a WWE Hall of Famer, looks to add one last world title to his resume. The event takes place in Atlanta, a location that holds special meaning for Goldberg, as it was the home base of World Championship Wrestling (WCW).

Drew McIntyre makes his return to face Randy Orton. McIntyre interrupted a segment between Orton and Cody Rhodes, questioning Orton's killer instinct. This sets the stage for a heated match between the two superstars.

Solo Sikoa defends his United States Championship against his older brother, Jimmy Uso. This match comes after Uso's interference with The Bloodline, adding a personal dimension to the contest.

LA Knight faces Seth Rollins. Knight is seeking revenge after Rollins and his associates interfered in his Money in the Bank matches.

WWE Evolution 2 (July 13):

This event will showcase WWE's women's division, featuring several high-profile matches. IYO SKY will defend her Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley. Becky Lynch, Bayley, and Lyra Valkyria will compete for the Women's Intercontinental Championship. Other notable matches include Tiffany Stratton vs. Trish Stratus for the WWE Women’s Championship and a Women’s Tag Team Fatal 4-Way Match.

The event will also feature a battle royal for a Women’s Championship match at WWE Clash in Paris on Sunday, Aug. 31, 2025, Jade Cargill vs. Naomi in a No Holds Barred Match and NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne vs. Jordynne Grace.

Raw (July 14):

The fallout from Saturday Night’s Main Event and Evolution 2 will be felt on the July 14 episode of Raw. While no matches have been announced yet, Rhea Ripley, Jey Uso, Raquel Rodriguez, and AJ Styles are listed to appear. Last week’s episode of Raw saw Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, and Bronson Reed continue their dominance, antagonizing Jey Uso, Sami Zayn, and Penta. LA Knight made an assist to save Penta from a beating, raising the temperature between him and Rollins ahead of their Saturday Night Main Event match.
