5 Superstars who could return in the 2021 WWE Men's Royal Rumble match

#1 Former WWE Universal Champion Goldberg

Over the past few weeks, there have been rumors that WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will be facing Goldberg at WrestleMania 37. The pair were supposed to go head-to-head at WrestleMania 36, but plans were changed at Reigns decided to take a break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and so Goldberg faced Braun Strowman instead.

On an episode of WWE's The Bump in early December 2020, Goldberg called out Reigns when promoting WWE Untold: Goldberg's Streak. The multiple-time champion said of Reigns:

"He backed out on me at WrestleMania. He stole my move, god knows how long ago. And he continues to perform it at sub-par level. Let's me perfectly honest, I'm the dude who delivers the spear and I don't think that he understands what it's like until I deliver one to him. So Roman, it's coming and I'm coming for you. I may be old, I may be gray, but I'm still Goldberg."

As well as this, Goldberg has appeared in the crowd in the ThuderDome, to watch Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman in a match. Goldberg has continued to make somewhat of a target of Reigns for some time now, and it would make sense for him to return to WWE soon.

A Royal Rumble return for Goldberg would be a great way to bring him back to perform if he was to come back in that capacity.
