Crown Jewel is set to take place on the last day of October, making it WWE's second pay-per-view this month. The company will return to Saudi Arabia four months after Super ShowDown was last held there in June. Last year's inaugural Crown Jewel also took place in Saudi Arabia. Since WWE signed a ten-year deal with Saudi Arabia, the company will host two shows there each and every year.

While the focus is currently on Hell in a Cell, WWE has already started building up storylines for Crown Jewel. On the season premiere of RAW, a colossal Ten Man Tag Team Match was announced for Crown Jewel, where the Ric Flair's team will face off against Team Hulk Hogan.

It is no secret that WWE brings back past Superstars for the Saudi Arabian shows, and we could see a similar scenario at Crown Jewel. Goldberg, who main evented Super ShowDown in June, could be one legendary name to make a comeback. The former Universal Champion's last bout was at SummerSlam, where he easily dismantled Dolph Ziggler.

Here are four possible opponents for Goldberg, if he decides to wrestle at Crown Jewel.

#4 Dolph Ziggler

Could another match with Goldberg be in Dolph Ziggler's immediate future?
Could another match with Goldberg be in Dolph Ziggler's immediate future?

Dolph Ziggler is currently one half of the RAW Tag Team Champions, winning the twin belts with Robert Roode at Clash of Champions. It is unclear if Roode and Ziggler will put their titles on the line at Hell in a Cell, as they already defended the belts against Heavy Machinery on the season premiere of RAW.

The WCW legend didn't have to toil hard at SummerSlam, taking less than two minutes to pin Ziggler. After having a clean bout, another rematch could raise eyebrows, but a recent confrontation might change some minds.

Goldberg recently posted a video on Instagram, documenting a confrontation he recently had with Dolph Ziggler in Las Vegas. Many believe the entire thing to be a work that could culminate at the upcoming Crown Jewel pay-per-view.

#3 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman could be a great opponent for Goldberg, considering the physicality both men bring to the table. Only a few days remain before Hell in a Cell, and Strowman has not yet been announced for the show. A number of big names will participate at Crown Jewel, and Strowman definitely should be one of them.

Strowman was the holder of the RAW Tag Team Titles a couple of weeks ago, before dropping them to Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode at Clash of Champions. In fact, Strowman also main evented the show, losing in the Universal Championship Match against Seth Rollins.

A match between Strowman and Goldberg could be short, but explosive. Goldberg, who was considered one of the strongest men in his prime, is still competent enough in the ring and might even be able to match Strowman's super human strength. While 'The Monster Among Men' has done some incredible things in WWE, beating Goldberg would be another monumental achievement for him.

#2 The Undertaker

A rematch?
A rematch?

The Undertaker is already confirmed to participate at Crown Jewel, and it will be interesting to see who faces 'The Phenom' in Saudi Arabia. The Undertaker is one of the most recognizable faces in WWE, and he was an integral part of each previous Saudi Arabian show.

'The Phenom' already faced Goldberg at Super ShowDown in June, but the match didn't meet the lofty expectations many in the WWE Universe had for it. While it was billed as a dream match, many considered it a catastrophe. With a number of shocking botches in the ring, Goldberg was busted open, and it ended up being one of the worst matches of this year.

Perhaps the disappointing performance in Saudi Arabia encouraged The Undertaker to prove his doubters wrong, as he returned and delivered a spectacular performance at Extreme Rules. A rematch between Goldberg and The Undertaker could be different this time, as both men will be aiming to erase the unpleasant memory from their last bout.

#1 Roman Reigns

Will we see it?
Will we see it?

There are several dream matches fans want to see, and a match between Roman Reigns and Goldberg is certainly one of them. 'The Big Dog' is arguably the biggest name of this era, making him a worthy opponent for the WCW legend. Reigns has conquered a number of legendary names in his career, and he would love to add the name of Goldberg to that list.

Reigns is presently involved in a feud with The Bludgeon Brothers. The Big Dog locked horns with Erick Rowan at Elimination, where he suffered a shocking loss. Nevertheless, it was not a clean defeat, as the returning Luke Harper influenced the match result. Reigns currently has a match at Hell in a Cell, where he will team up with Daniel Bryan to take on The Bludgeon Brothers.

Goldberg has already expressed interest in facing Reigns, and it won't surprising, if it happens at Crown Jewel. Given the fact that The Spear is used as a finisher by both Superstars, the match could be promoted as a 'Spear vs Spear' match. Crown Jewel will take place three weeks after Hell in a Cell, which gives WWE plenty of time to build toward this mega clash.
