SummerSlam 2019 was the last time we saw Goldberg enter the ring. The former WCW Champion's destruction of Dolph Ziggler restored some of the credibility that was lost after his forgettable outing with Undertaker at Super Showdown.

Goldberg spoke with Instinct Culture's Denise Salcedo and revealed who he would like to have a match with from the current roster.

Goldberg named Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman as the two men who he would like to test, while specifically elaborating on a potential clash with The Big Dog and why it's a built-in rivalry.

God, who wouldn't I like to face that I haven't? I mean, Roman and Braun are two guys that I would like to test their mettle a little bit," replied Goldberg. "Georgia [Goldberg] against Georgia Tech [Reigns] - it's kind of a built-in rivalry." H/t Credit: WrestlingInc

It has been speculated in the recent past that Paul Heyman plans on using Goldberg as a special attraction. Goldberg is being seen as this generation's Bruno Sammartino, who will pop up every now and then to compete with younger generation talents. Keeping that in mind, Reigns vs Goldberg sounds like a match that could actually happen down the lane.


#3 Daniel Bryan to retire from in-ring competition in a couple of years

The in-ring return of Daniel Bryan after overcoming a long-standing battle against concussions and WWE doctors is one of the best feel-good moments in professional wrestling history.

Bryan's return has been a resounding success as he has gone on to become WWE Champion and was also instrumental in Kofimania become a major rage.

However, the Leader of the Yes Movement may not be around for long.

The 38-year-old WWE Superstar opened about his in-ring future on the Bellas Podcast. Bryan stated that his retirement could come sooner rather than later as he intends on taking up the parental role more seriously.

“My retirement from full-time wrestling which will be coming up sooner rather than later in the next couple of years, that probably won’t mean retirement for [Brie Bella] for how busy you are. It will probably be me taking on more of the parental role, and so depending on jobs and that sort of thing, that’s been a nice switch in society that can happen.” H/t Credit: WrestleZone

Bryan underwent a complete babyface turn at Hell in a Cell when he teamed up with Roman Reigns to defeat Luke Harper and Erick Rowan. There was also an injury scare in the aftermath of the PPV as Bryan was seen having difficulties walking after the match.

However, the latest update is that he is fine and is expected to be actively featured going forward.
