#5 WWE Champion Big E retires Goldberg

Big E has been open about the fact that he's the world's biggest Goldberg fan. Although it may not be fashionable in 2021 to admit that Goldberg's matches are exciting, Big E maintains that a clash with his childhood hero would be a dream match. As WWE Champion, he has the chance to retire Goldberg and send him packing into the sunset for good.

Goldberg has just one match left on his contract and it wouldn't make sense for him to make yet another comeback for a while at least. His aura and mystique have been diminished thanks to a variety of losses in his last WWE run. Could he put over Big E in a major way in his very last match?

What would it be like if the WWE Hall of Famer gave a Jackhammer to Big E following his loss?

#4 Could Naomi win the Royal Rumble and defeat WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair?

The feud between WWE official Sonya Deville and Naomi has made the latter one of the top babyfaces in the company. Everyone wants to see Naomi get her due and rise to the top against all odds.

Well, at the top of the card is the WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Charlotte Flair who rules the division with an iron grip. Could Naomi win the upcoming Royal Rumble match and go on to defeat Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania in 2022?

#3 Jimmy Uso vs. Roman Reigns

Well, if the wife's due a big moment under the spotlight, the husband can't be too far behind. WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion Jimmy Uso hasn't yet had a heated feud with Roman Reigns as his twin brother did.

It may be time for a showdown between the two Samoans in what could be one of the most highly-anticipated matches of the coming year. The Rock vs. Roman Reigns may not be on the card, but this match may well be!

#2 Could Becky Lynch and Lita actually have a match?

The seeds for arguably the biggest WWE dream feud may have been planted with an SK Wrestling article. When Pranay Rangra wrote about matches that Lita could have with the current crop of talent, he didn't know that it would lead to a Lita vs. Becky Lynch confrontation on Twitter.

They say that where there's smoke, there's fire. Could we see a contest between two of the greatest female superstars in sports entertainment in the coming year?

#1 Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley could take WWE by storm

Long before he arrived in WWE and became the most dominant force on RAW, fans wanted to see a Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley match. Both men, as accomplished as they are in WWE, are also legitimate MMA stars as well.

The setup is perfect, leading into WrestleMania next year. Brock Lesnar has become a beloved babyface whereas Bobby Lashley is your cocky and self-obsessed monster heel, with a string of victories that qualifies him as a legitimate opponent for Brock Lesnar.

Could we see the dream match that fans of both superstars have been clamoring for, for years? 2022 may be the perfect time for this feud to culminate.
