Goldberg is back in WWE and from the looks of it, Bobby Lashley is next! As much as they may boo him and be up in arms about him taking up a spot...when Goldberg returns, the crowd celebrates in unison.

Goldberg is signed to a deal until 2023 and will wrestle two matches a year. There's still a large percentage of the WWE roster that he's yet to face in first-ever dream matches.

No, they won't be Daniel Bryan-style technical masterclasses, but what Goldberg brings to the mix is genuine unpredictability. You don't see his wins coming, be it against WWE Universal Champion Bray Wyatt or even Brock Lesnar when he first returned to action.

Feel free to peruse this list and mention five WWE Superstars you wish to see mixing it up with Goldberg. We're going to leave Bobby Lashley off this list because that match is likely to happen at SummerSlam.

Without wasting any more time, let's talk Goldberg dream matches!

#5 Goldberg vs. Keith Lee, maybe for the WWE Championship?

If you check out both of Goldberg's recent appearances, he's shown up after Keith Lee's lost a big match. The first time was against Drew McIntyre and this time against Bobby Lashley. There is an angle that WWE can explore, a path they could go down to book this big match.

If Keith Lee does get a few wins under his belt, he could build up his steam once again. As dominant as Lashley looks right now, one has to remember that he was once cast in THAT angle with Lana. It's never too late to build momentum by running through the WWE roster.

Keith Lee and Goldberg are both powerhouses to the core. If Lee managed to defeat Goldberg, he would be elevated to the next level!

#4 Goldberg vs. Seth Rollins

Goldberg is the ultimate WWE babyface, a superhero for kids, despite the fact that many modern fans are critical of him. It makes sense for him to go up against the cackling, maniacal heel Seth Rollins, almost in a Batman vs. Joker kind of way.

Goldberg has lost far too many matches, coming up short against Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre, severely diminishing his aura. Even if he defeats Seth Rollins away from the title picture, no damage would really be done!

#3 WWE Champion Goldberg vs. Universal Champion Roman Reigns

We have already seen the Goldberg vs. Roman Reigns showdown, but the match did not happen at WrestleMania last year, when the latter bowed out, understandably, due to health reasons. Braun Strowman would take his place and go on to become the brand new WWE Universal Champion.

There's still a story to be told between the two men, and a very interesting situation could emerge. Could Goldberg win the WWE Championship from Bobby Lashley and challenge Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Survivor Series?

#2 Goldberg vs. John Cena

Why have two WWE part-timers in Goldberg and Cena clash against each other, you rightfully ask? The answer is simple. Both men are household names and a clash of this magnitude will definitely sell a whole bunch of tickets.

Also, when a part-timer like Goldberg goes up against Drew McIntyre, you invariably know the result.

Because it's not the classic case of a part-timer returning to WWE to put younger talent over, in this case at least, the outcome would be very hard to predict.

#1 Goldberg vs. his WWE megafan Big E

Big E has been vocal about his love for Goldberg, someone he idolized growing up. If Big E does cash in on Goldberg, after the former beats Lashley at SummerSlam, then his childhood dream would come true.

It would also set the stage for WWE Champion Big E vs. Goldberg at some point down the line, maybe in 2022. Goldberg could return to claim that his title was unfairly taken from him by Big E. The results could be absolutely amazing.
