Goldberg may have made his name in WCW, but he has still had a respectable run with WWE, which includes being the World Heavyweight Champion, and the third ever WWE Universal Champion, and is now in the WWE Hall of Fame.

What people may actually find surprising is that at one point, Goldberg was planned to win a Royal Rumble match.

No, it wasn't during his three-minute appearance in the 2017 Royal Rumble, but back during his first WWE run and first Rumble appearance, in 2004.

The plan at the time, allegedly, was for Goldberg to win the 2004 Royal Rumble and then jump ship from RAW to SmackDown, where he would challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XX.

However, Goldberg pretty much told WWE officials in early 2004 that he would not be renewing his WWE contract when it expired that April, and instead WWE went with plan B of Chris Benoit winning instead.
