The 40th edition of Saturday Night's Main Event took place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta with various top stars performing on the show. The NBC special served as the perfect starter dish for the first-ever 2-night SummerSlam next month in New York.
The main event featured Gunther defending his World Heavyweight title against Bill Goldberg. Meanwhile, the undercard featured an array of great matches, with Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight, Solo Sikoa defending his United States title against Jimmy Uso, and Randy Orton resuming his rivalry against Drew McIntyre. Let's have a look at the results and the biggest winners from the show.
Goldberg vs. Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship
The WWE Hall of Famer entered his final WWE match with Ernest 'The Cat' Miller and his son, Gage, as part of his entourage.
The wrestling legend was physically compromised as he was dealing with a knee and shoulder injury. However, this did not stop the former Universal Champion from slowing down. He opened the bout with a flurry of multiple clotheslines and looked strong in and out.
Moreover, he even displayed his tenacity and laughed off multiple chops from Gunther, which is widely considered his staple move. In the ending sequence, Goldberg accidentally speared the referee, Charles Robinson, which helped Gunther to take advantage.
'The Ring General' then taunted Gage and even shoved him, which led to Goldberg's son stepping over the barricade before being held by the officials.
With Gunther back in the ring, Goldberg managed to hit one final spear and a jackhammer for a close fall. However, Gunther soon took control and locked in the sleeper hold to finish the bout as the Hall of Famer passed out. Goldberg then thanked the WWE Universe for a great reception and a 28-year long career before the show abruptly ended due to a shortage of time.
Goldberg definitely had a proper farewell match while 'The Ring General' continued his reign.
So, the outing was a massive win for both the veterans.
Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight
This is the contest from the night that took a sudden and worrying turn. Rollins and Knight were locked in a high-octane battle, each trying to hit their signature moves early to gain the upper hand. But the match came to a halt when 'The Visionary' landed awkwardly after a lionsault attempt, with his knee buckling beneath him.
He collapsed instantly, clutching the injured leg in visible pain.
As Knight moved in to capitalize, the referee stepped in, halting the action and calling for medical attention. A ringside doctor quickly entered the ring and had a brief exchange with Rollins. This saw an impromptu ending with Rollins, still visibly limping, walking straight into a Blunt Force Trauma from Knight, who sealed the win. Latest updates from many insiders are that Rollins suffered a legitimate injury during the show.
Solo Sikoa vs Jimmy Uso for the United States Championship
Sikoa continued his run as the champion with help from his allies. Tonga Loa, Talla Tonga, and JC Mateo all interfered during the outing. But the US title holder picked up the victory after rolling up Uso while Tonga distracted him with Talla Tonga helping the pin to be kept in place with his leg.
The aftermath of the bout was scintillating, with Jacob Fatu rescuing Uso from the MFT's beatdown. The segment also saw Talla and Fatu facing off.
After this, Tonga dropped Jacob with a big boot, but 'The Samoan Werewolf' reacted strongly with a suicide drive onto the group. Fatu got a huge reception from the crowd and is pointing in the direction of a multi-man tag match at SummerSlam next month.
Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre
The two former WWE titleholders opened the show with a solid outing. However, more than the in-ring action, it served as the precursor to a big tag team showdown with Orton teaming up with Jelly Roll to face McIntyre, joining Logan Paul.
Orton and McIntyre went back and forth in a hard-hitting match, trading their signature moves.
Toward the end, McIntyre hit Orton with a Claymore Kick, but 'The Viper' was saved when his leg landed on the bottom rope. Paul, who was at the ringside, had distracted Orton just before the kick, which led to an argument between Paul and Roll. Paul kept shoving Jelly Roll, who finally had enough and knocked Paul down with a shove.
As McIntyre turned his attention back to the ring, he walked right into an RKO from Orton, who picked up the win.
But that wasn't it! Paul attacked Orton after the match, only to be dropped by a strong forearm from Roll.
As McIntyre turned his attention back to the ring, he walked right into an RKO from Orton, who picked up the win. But that wasn't it! Paul attacked Orton after the match, only to be dropped by a strong forearm from Roll. Then, out of nowhere, McIntyre hit Roll with another Claymore Kick, leaving him laid out. WWE officials rushed to help the musician, while Raw GM Adam Pearce scolded McIntyre for the attack.
