WWE Rumor Roundup: Reason for 4-time Champion being unexpectedly pulled from matches, Details on popular tag-team's split, 3-time World Champion hits back at Reigns' jibe

#3 Goldberg responds to Roman Reigns' jibe

The Big Dog Roman Reigns recently took a subtle shot at WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg on Twitter. When a fan asked Reigns why he uses a crash mat for his entrance, the former WWE Champion stated that he does it so he doesn't break his hand as he has to perform 48 weeks a year.

Roman Reigns then took a slight jab at Goldberg saying that not using a crash mat would be as stupid as headbutting a door before a match - something that Goldberg has ritualistically done in the past and continues to do to this day.

Even though Reigns didn't mention the Hall of Famer by name, it didn't take long for Goldberg to notice and respond to the tweet:

1 of those “C’mon man” ESPN moments. I’ll stick with my old school ways ....seems to of worked 99% of the time. We all have bad days. I tend to tap into an entirely different level of intensity. Doesn’t work for everyone. Kinda like the difference between #UGA & GeorgieTech. 🤣 https://t.co/MpixoWjgDU

While this seems like friendly banter at this point, it wouldn't be surprising if we see these two behemoths clash inside the ring sometime in the future. Would you like to see a match between Goldberg and Roman Reigns? Let us know in the comments!
