Is Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg on course for WrestleMania 37?
#1. A feud with Goldberg could establish Roman Reigns' run as WWE Universal Champion

Roman Reigns
There is no surprise in the fact that Roman Reigns has already established himself as a heel. But some fans still wonder whether Reigns has established himself as a legitimate world champion.
It may seem odd to question Reigns' position, but on paper, his run with the title has been lacking. He's potentially in danger of becoming a part-time champion like Brock Lesnar.
I am doing nothing but what is necessary. If someone falls out of line, I will put them back in it and if someone challenges my family’s position ... they will get knocked down. Fear is a powerful motivator. #WWETLC#Smackdownhttps://t.co/YeWpszseja
Having only defended the Universal Title against Jey Uso and Strowman so far, many fans might believe that Reigns, on paper, needs a win to genuinely prove himself. He's currently feuding with Owens, but a long-term rivalry with an icon like Goldberg could erase all of this doubt.
It remains to be seen what plans WWE could have in store for Reigns come Royal Rumble 2021. A feud with Daniel Bryan might be a possibility, but a program with Goldberg could change Reigns' career. If "The Tribal Chief" secured a decisive win over Goldberg at WWE WrestleMania 37, Reigns would firmly sit on his throne for the foreseeable future.
