He further added, 'Gunther vs. Goldberg was always going to be the retirement match, and it was always going against All in Texas and on NBC, with the idea of maximizing that day with the big match not on Netflix but on free network TV.' Though Dave Meltzer added that the company was planning for a Gunther vs. Goldberg bout to serve as Goldberg's final match, airing on NBC rather than Netflix, so that it would get the most attention possible on that big day. However, regarding Goldberg's retirement match, nothing has been officially declared yet by the WWE creative team.

Logan Paul in scuffle with comedian Andrew Schulz on WWE Raw
On the March 10, 2025, episode of WWE Raw, Logan Paul was at the center of a dramatic incident involving comedian Andrew Schulz. The episode kicked off with Jey Uso defeating Grayson Waller in a fast-paced match, but things escalated quickly after Paul entered Madison Square Garden, greeted by loud boos from the New York crowd. Paul, hyping up his ongoing feud with AJ Styles, turned his attention to Schulz, who was sitting ringside. When Paul demanded that Schulz speak about him, Schulz deflected by mentioning WWE legends Seth Rollins and CM Punk as his reasons for being there. The tension between Paul and Schulz grew when Paul angrily pulled the comedian from the crowd, nearly tossing him into the ring. Just as things were about to get more heated, AJ Styles ran down the ramp to make the save, delivering his signature Phenomenal Forearm to Paul. The crowd erupted as Schulz and Styles posed together in the ring. Adding to the chaos, Paul had earlier gotten into a bitter spot with a fan during his entrance, tearing their t-shirt in the process. In a separate interview with Alistair McGeorge of Metro, WWE star LA Knight discussed why he faced Logan Paul at SummerSlam 2024 instead of earlier. Knight explained that WWE strategically delayed the match to build anticipation, engaging fans with various distractions. He also recalled fans at WrestleMania 40 urging him to fight Paul for the United States Championship, further fueling the demand for the matchup.
