Goldberg recently revealed that he has two more years and three more matches on his WWE contract, which begs the question of whom these matches will be against and where? Not to mention what effect this will have on the future of the company and how they move forward after the retirement of a legend.
While some fans might hate on Goldberg for his stamina issues, his notoriously short matches and how he ended The Fiend's undefeated streak, older fans will realize the man's value to overall picture. Furthermore, they will understand that Goldberg will probably put someone else over on his way out.
With that being said and Goldberg's announcement now out in the public, here are five possible opponents for Goldberg before his career comes to an end. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and tell us what dream matches you would like to see.
#5 Goldberg versus The Fiend
The WWE Universe was left in shock when Goldberg vanquished The Fiend with nothing more than a jackhammer at Crown Jewel and the company should really look into some kind of dream match between the two. At least that way, The Fiend can get his win back and start to repair the image damaged by his defeat.
While this might seem like something that fans don't want to revisit, it is crucial for The Fiend character to undue his loss and try to work it into his lore somehow. Furthermore, WWE needs to explain exactly why The Fiend lost to Goldberg and finally explain how the sinister character can be impervious to pain.
In the end, this might seem like a bit of a long shot, especially since some fans probably won't want to revisit this feud, but it would do a lot for The Fiend character if they did. It might also be the company's lone chance of rebuilding The Fiend lore that they worked so hard to build up.
#4 Goldberg versus Triple H
While some members of the WWE Universe might not remember this, it was Triple H who brought Goldberg's undefeated streak to an end in a Elimination Chamber match in 2003. Of course backstage politics may or may not have had something to do with it, but it would be an interesting piece of history to revisit.
In fact, not only would it give WWE a chance to revisit a Ruthless Aggression-type storyline that hasn't been rectified in years, it would also be a pretty decent box office draw to have on a B-level pay-per-view. It might even be one of the best dream rematches of all time depending on how WWE plays
In the end, it all depends on whether Triple H can still go and if the company has any interest in putting Goldberg up against the King of Kings, but everything is there for a great match. It even falls in line with WWE revisiting Attitude Era feuds, which is one of the best themes the company has going for them.
#3 Goldberg versus Brock Lesnar
Doesn't it seem like Brock Lesnar and Goldberg deserve one more go around before they retire for good? Furthermore, with Goldberg losing their final match together at WrestleMania 34, shouldn't Lesnar get an opportunity to tie the series up?
Not only would this be a great way to have a box office draw heading into the fall months of the year, it would also be a chance to play up their history one more time. Ifn all honesty, this could do extremely well at one of WWE's B-level pay-per-views and help bring fans coming back for more.
In the end, it might not be the most highly touted rematch in WWE history, but Goldberg versus Brock Lesnar just seems like one of those things that should happen one more time. At least that way, WWE has a guaranteed box office attraction on their hands, the two can relieve history one more time and maybe even come up with a different outcome.
After all, why not put two of the most dominant performers in the past two decades back in the squared circle? It's almost always guaranteed money.
#2 Goldberg versus Braun Strowman
Bruan Strowman defeated Goldberg to win the Universal Title at WrestleMania 36 and while the match seemed like a one and done, it would be nice to get a follow-up match out of this. Now, this would involve WWE devoting two of his last three matches to Braun Strowman, but it's not like it wouldn't be interesting.
In fact, between WWE's chance to draw upon what the moment at WrestleMania 36 meant to both men, and to possibly let Goldberg even the score, this would be an upper tier dream match. Maybe not on the level of Rock versus Cena or Fiend versus Undertaker, but somewhere in the middle.
In the end, this feud has some backstory and it would be exciting to kind of play into it a bit. It would also be a huge leg up for Strowman if he ended up winning the rubber match, should we turn it into a three-match series. It might even be enough to cement The Monster Among Men as an ultra heel, especially if they play Goldberg up as a babyface in the process.
#1 Goldberg versus Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns versus Goldberg is the match that was originally supposed to take place at WrestleMania 36, but the ongoing pandemic derailed that plan and forced WWE to put Braun Strowman in his place at the Show of Shows.. Unfortunately for WWE fans, this would result in them being robbed of what would have been a pretty big dream match.
Of course a vocal minority of the fan base was upset due ot the fact that Goldberg defeated The Fiend to win the belt, but it still would have been nice to see Reigns take on the former WCW legend. In fact, the idea seems to be so tantalizing that WWE should really follow up on that.
If nothing else, Roman Reigns choosing his family over what would be the crowning moment of his career is nothing short of brilliant storytelling. It would also help show Reigns in a sympathetic hero like light again, which will definitely help fans forget about The Fiend's loss.
