Goldberg has rocketed to the top of the favorites list to win the 2021 WWE Royal Rumble this week. After his controversial run with the WWE Universal Championship in early 2021, the legend lost his title to Braun Strowman at WrestleMania 36 in one of the headline matches.

Since then, Goldberg has only been seen once on WWE television, when he was a member of the audience in the ThunderDome. He has recently been taking shots at Roman Reigns, both in interviews and on WWE's The Bump. The current WWE Universal Champion has pulled no punches in his responses.

In the build-up to last year's WrestleMania, the pair was supposed to go head-to-head for the title. But the plan was later changed at the last minute due to Reigns' decision to take a medically-motivated break from WWE.

The heat between the two stars has lead to fans speculating that Goldberg will be the last man standing at the next Royal Rumble. A victory there could pave the way for a match with Reigns.

At the moment, Goldberg is the second favorite to win the Royal Rumble, and he has odds of 7/2 on SkyBet.
