Drew McIntyre has been written off television due to his ongoing injury issues. The Scottish Warrior was forced out of his match against Damian Priest at Saturday Night’s Main Event after taking a brutal South of Heaven from the platform through a table. WWE’s medical staff has been monitoring him closely since Backlash.
McIntyre recently spoke about his injuries, stating he can’t turn his head all the way left yet due to the injury. The win by Priest was a definitive blow to their feud, and McIntyre will take time away from the ring to heal before potentially returning later this year.
Goldberg’s final match is reportedly nearing with the next SNME show scheduled for July 12 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The announcement came after Goldberg shared that his retirement bout would be taking place “in the south” part of the United States and WWE gave him creative control over the rollout plans.
While Goldberg has only wrestled once in the last three years, he’s making the most of it by putting a stamp on his career in front of the people he cares about. However, the reality of his in-ring career nearing an end is making him think about the finality of it all.
Goldberg will likely face Gunther at WrestleMania, with the two men having previously gone face-to-face at Bad Blood last October. WWE has saved the bout if it’s going to happen, and the next big date on their schedule is Money in the Bank on June 7.
WWE has announced plans to make Las Vegas a regular host for WrestleMania, with the city set to “frequently” host the biggest show of the year. The move comes after WrestleMania weekend brought in an all-time high of $55.1 billion in tourism spending for Las Vegas in 2024.
Despite some obstacles in the way, including concert schedules and venue availability, WWE is eager to bring back WrestleMania to Las Vegas. It’s likely that the company will follow a similar schedule as previous years, putting two-night combo tickets on sale for WrestleMania 41 in September 2024.
