5 potential opponents for Goldberg if he returns to WWE

#2 Riddle would be a very compelling opponent for Goldberg in WWE

Riddle has been very vocal about Goldberg over the years

Riddle has been calling Goldberg for years, both in interviews and on social media. Not only did he call out Goldberg for a fight, but he has continuously ridiculed his in-ring style. Riddle even called him "the worst wrestler in the business". Word of this insult got back to Goldberg, and he confronted Riddle backstage at last year's WWE SummerSlam, which did little to ease tensions.

Riddle and Goldberg have a legitimate, real-life feud.

Since then, Riddle made his debut on the main roster. He is now establishing himself as one of RAW's most entertaining talents. He was part of RAW's winning team at WWE Survivor Series winning team, and he remains a strong act on the show.

Riddle's place on the WWE roster makes this match possible. But the tension between Goldberg and the former UFC star remains palpable. Recently, Riddle made more disparaging comments about the WCW legend. In an interview with BT Sport, Riddle said:

"I think it makes for a great match. I think it makes for great entertainment. I don't think it'll ever happen. The guy literally refused to acknowledge me on multiple occasions in public forums and interviews and everything. 'I don't blame him. The guy is like, "What if he shoots on me?" I would be scared too, bro. Enjoy your time."

"The only way I could get @Goldberg in a ring with me is if he gets to murder me, and I HAVE to let him. He couldn't do it in real life.""The guy doesn't like me, I don't like his work!"@SuperKingofBros talking about his 'Bro' for 2:33 is everything you hoped it would be 😂 pic.twitter.com/GMjrjquslW

A match between Riddle and Goldberg may not be the smoothest encounter due to the animosity between the two. But it would certainly be an intriguing spectacle.
