Goldberg wrestled his final match at WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

The WWE and WCW legend had an opportunity to dethrone Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, but it was 'The Ring General' who retained the title after a dramatic sequence to finish the match.

However, perhaps the most significant development on the show was what appeared to be a legitimate injury to Seth Rollins.

During his match against LA Knight, Rollins went for a moonsault but started favoring his knee. The referee and WWE officials checked on him, and once he got up, Knight quickly hit him with the BFT to score the victory.

Elsewhere, Solo Sikoa defeated Jimmy Uso to retain the United States Championship, and Randy Orton notched a win against Drew McIntyre before things got chaotic, as McIntyre hit a Claymore on Jelly Roll.

WWE announced that Orton and Jelly Roll would team up to face McIntyre and Paul at SummerSlam.

Here's everything you need to know about WWE Saturday Night's Main Event:

- Joe Tessitore and Jesse 'The Body' Ventura welcome us to Atlanta.

- Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton will kick things off. Jelly Roll is in Orton's corner, while Logan Paul is out with McIntyre after the chaos on SmackDown.

- McIntyre targets the back early by dropping Orton on the announce table, but Paul eventually gets in the mix with a distraction. That allows McIntyre to hit a Claymore, but Orton gets a foot on the rope. Jelly Roll drops Paul, and McIntyre yells at the music supertar.

- Randy Orton defeats Drew McIntyre. Orton hits an RKO outta nowhere and that'll do it.

- After the match, Paul hauls off on Orton, but here comes Jelly Roll. He drops Paul again. However, McIntyre hits Jelly Roll with a Claymore! Officials out to check on Jelly Roll, and SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis is not happy.

- Back from commercial, and McIntyre and Paul are arguing with Aldis and Raw general manager Adam Pearce. Tag team match at SummerSlam?

- IYO SKY, Rhea Ripley, and Jade Cargill are in the front row as the get ready for Evolution on Sunday. But Naomi isn't having it! She attacks Cargill from behind, and they brawl as officials try to get between them. Aldis gets on the mic and announces Bianca Belair as the special guest referee for their match. That's huge.

- Former WCW head of security Doug Dillinger is in the crowd! So is Diamond Dallas Page.

- Jimmy Uso vs. Solo Sikoa for the United States Championship is up next.

- Solo is frustrated early, but he has JC Mateo, Tonga Loa, and Talla Tonga there to get him back on track. Back from commercial, and Solo takes control and goes for the spike, but Jimmy hits multiple superkicks for a near fall.

- Solo Sikoa defeats Jimmy Uso to retain the United States Championship. Jimmy goes up top but Solo rolls out of the ring. Jimmy figures he'll just hit a corkscrew onto everyone because why not? However, Talla gets pissed and helps Solo roll up Jimmy for the victory.

- After the match, Solo and his MFT attack Jimmy, but Jacob Fatu is back for revenge! Fatu and Talla goe face to face, and then Fatu flies out onto Talla and Solo as they retreat.

- Cathy Kelley wants to know what Orton and Jelly Roll are thinking after what McIntyre and Paul did. Jelly Roll wants both McIntyre and Paul, anywhere, anytime. Orton suggests a match at SummerSlam, and there you have it. RK-Roll is official.

- Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight is next up on the card.

- Knight unleashes some frustration in the early going, and he's taking it to Rollins. Back from commercial, and now it's Rollins on the advantage. Rollins hits a frog splash off the top to quiet the crowd, but it's back and forth after that. Knight hits an elbow drop off the top for a near fall.

- LA Knight defeats Seth Rollins. They go back up, but Rollins picks Knight up and hits a Buckle Bomb. Rollins goes for a moonsault, but Knight moves out of the way and Rollins is favoring his knee after that jump. The WWE medical official comes over to check on Rollins, and Knight hits the BFT for the win. Rollins looks to be legitimately injured, and that would be brutal.

- Blake Monroe and Jacy Jayne are in the front row. Monroe pinned Jayne in the main event of NXT Great American Bash earlier in the day.

- Also, Orton and Jelly Roll vs. McIntyre and Paul is official for SummerSlam.

- Goldberg vs. Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship is the main event.

- Gunther goes after Goldberg's knee right off the bat, but Goldberg reverses momentum and sends the champ reeling to the outside. However, Goldberg goes for the spear, and Gunther moves out of the way to send Goldberg through the barricade.

- Gunther once again turns his focus to the knee, but Goldberg picks him up and throws him to the mat. Goldberg hits a back body drop on Gunther, and he goes for the spear....but Gunther moves out of the way and referee Charles Robinson is down and out.

- Gunther defeats Goldberg to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. That gives Gunther an opportunity to take Goldberg's knee brace and go to work. Gunther shoves Gage Goldberg in the front row, but WWE officials hold him back. Goldberg hits the spear on Gunther, and then he hits the Jackhammer but he can't go into the cover because of the bad knee. The new referee comes down, but Gunther kicks out at two. Gunther then puts on the choke for the victory.

- Back from commercial, and Goldberg thanks his family, friends, and fans for their support during his legendary career.
