Goldberg fought against Drew McIntyre at WWE Royal Rumble 2021. Although Goldberg lost that encounter, he could return on the Road to WrestleMania 37.
WWE officials may want to feature a couple of legendary names at The Show of Shows to draw considerable attention. Goldberg fits the bill as a legendary Superstar, which is why the WWE Icon could get involved in a feud on the Road to WrestleMania.
There is also the possibility that he may return after April 10-11, but this article will focus on the potential directions for Goldberg heading towards WrestleMania 37. This list will feature a combination of both realistic choices and purely fantasy-booking options at the same time.
With that being said, here are five potential WWE feuds for Goldberg heading into WrestleMania 37.
#5 Goldberg could enter a WWE feud against Drew McIntyre's former friend, Sheamus
Sheamus and Drew McIntyre's friendship has been a major highlight of WWE RAW over the past few weeks. However, The Celtic Warrior betrayed the current WWE Champion on the RAW after Royal Rumble.
Sheamus and Drew McIntyre will most likely wrestle each other on the Road to WrestleMania 37. When that happens, McIntyre is favored to retain his WWE Championship. In this case, Sheamus won't be left with a lot of possible directions after he is done feuding with his former friend.
Goldberg and Sheamus could be pitted against each other, and there is an important reason behind why that may happen.
McIntyre had earned Goldberg's respect at the Royal Rumble event. So it makes sense that the WCW icon may not look too kindly upon the heels who will unfairly attempt to replace The Scottish Warrior at the top.
A non-title feud would also be a fresh direction for Goldberg at WrestleMania, given that he hasn't been in a non-title encounter since 2019. As for Sheamus, a program against Goldberg would only create a resurgence for The Celtic Warrior.
Goldberg could even redeem himself by defeating Sheamus, and the loss wouldn't greatly hurt the latter star's credibility, since The Celtic Warrior has already been an established act several times in the past.
#4 Goldberg and Keith Lee could face each other in WWE
Another individual that recently faced Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship is Keith Lee.
The Limitless One failed to capture the WWE title at RAW Legends Night, but he put on an impressive performance against The Scottish Warrior. As a matter of fact, it was right after this match that Goldberg would return to the company and challenge Drew McIntyre for a clash at the Royal Rumble.
Goldberg has publicly named Keith Lee as someone who could play a major role in the future of WWE. The Limitless One has a bright future, and one way to showcase the star on the Road to WrestleMania would be to put him in a feud with Goldberg.
With RAW Legends Night and the major divide between veterans and the current generation of stars, there is already a backstory for Keith Lee and Goldberg's potential storyline. Usually, it may not be a good idea to pit a heavyweight against Goldberg, but The Limitless One is one of the most agile big men in WWE today.
Of course, the WCW icon would have to put Lee over at the end, which might truly propel the relatively younger star to the title picture once again.
#3 Goldberg could surprise WWE fans and challenge Finn Balor
When it comes to fantastical situations that may draw a lot of attention, Goldberg could potentially do the unthinkable and appear on WWE NXT.
The current NXT Champion, Finn Balor, is scheduled to face Pete Dunne at WWE NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day. The Men's Royal Rumble winner, Edge, recently appeared on the Black and Gold brand to break the barriers between legends and NXT. The Rated-R Superstar said that he will keep his eye on the Dunne vs. Balor match, and that he could also challenge the NXT Champion at WrestleMania 37.
This plot direction seems unlikely, as Edge is rumored to face Roman Reigns at The Show of Shows.
Regardless of whether or not Finn Balor will remain NXT Champion by WrestleMania, there is potential to build up a WrestleMania feud between Balor and Goldberg instead.
Firstly, Goldberg recently stated that he has always been a huge fan of Finn Balor's work. Secondly, Balor has publicly defended legends like Goldberg who return for one-off matches, implying that there is a heightened buzz surrounding WWE's shows when legends come back to the promotion.
It seems like both parties would be eager for a dream clash in WWE. This potential program will bring a lot of eyes to NXT as a result of Goldberg's presence. Facing a versatile and smaller opponent like Balor would also allow the WCW icon to do things he usually cannot do in the ring with heavyweights these days.
NXT represents the future of WWE, and if a representative of the brand like Balor was able to defeat Goldberg, it would create a brand new narrative after WrestleMania 37 is over.
#2 Goldberg and Roman Reigns could fight each other in a WWE match that was supposed to happen last year
Before Roman Reigns became The Tribal Chief, he was set to face Goldberg at WWE WrestleMania 36.
The COVID-19 pandemic changed things, as Reigns had to take a leave of absence as a precautionary measure. Even though Reigns could face several other opponents at The Show of Shows in 2021, there is a possibility that Goldberg might face The Tribal Chief at WrestleMania 37 or sometime before the event.
Whether or not that would be the most intriguing program is up for debate, but it is a huge possibility that needs to be mentioned in this list, given that their highly-publicized match never took place last year.
Goldberg even appeared on The Bump in December to make it clear that his storyline with Roman Reigns is far from over.
An interesting aspect of their potential feud would be that Roman Reigns is now a massive heel WWE Superstar, and Goldberg could be the potential babyface heading into their clash. This was not the case in 2020, and The Tribal Chief's storylines have been unanimously acclaimed since he turned to the dark side.
Perhaps Roman Reigns' newfound multifaceted character could also add some intrigue in a potential feud against Goldberg in the near future.
#1 Riddle's numerous shots against Goldberg may lead to a match between the two stars in WWE
Any WWE fan who has followed online speculation in recent times knows about Riddle's beef against Goldberg.
As a possibility, one cannot rule out a potential clash between Goldberg and Riddle. WWE has often infused real-life situations with fictional storylines in the past, and Riddle vs. Goldberg would be no different in this case.
Although Riddle has been a part of the United States Championship scenario recently, it is unlikely that Bobby Lashley's dominant run as the U.S. Champion will end anytime soon. Other than that, Riddle hasn't exactly had a proper creative direction on the main roster. Given the outrageous statements that Riddle has made against the WCW icon in the past, a feud with Goldberg could be that intriguing creative direction that Riddle needed all this time.
If Goldberg defeats Riddle, he would redeem his image and shut down his harshest critic. If Riddle defeats Goldberg, it would be his biggest victory in WWE so far.
A third option would be to pair them up together for a tag team match, which would be an amusing moment for WWE fans if both stars won't be able to stand each other throughout the entirety of the bout.
Whatever the case may be, one can never rule out WWE to blur the lines between fiction and reality.
