With WWE Night of Champions just days away, this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW from Columbus, Ohio, features a stacked card with major championship and tournament implications.
WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is scheduled to appear live. “Da Man” will be in the building to address his upcoming retirement match against World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER, which is set to take place at the special Saturday Night’s Main Event on July 12.
