#4 Goldberg wants to right the wrong that was Super ShowDown

At WWE Super ShowDown, Goldberg faced The Undertaker in what was a dream match. The battle saw both men botching a bunch of moves, including their finishers. The match ended when The Undertaker hit Goldberg with a terrible looking Chokeslam. Goldberg could be seen collapsing after the match, in a disturbing visual.

There's a good chance that Goldberg wants to make up for the travesty at Super ShowDown. This could be the reason we are getting Goldberg vs Dolph Ziggler, and not Michaels vs Ziggler, even though the past few weeks' worth of storylines were indicating the latter. Goldberg probably didn't want to end his career with a match that would be slammed by fans and critics for years to come, and hence WWE allowed him to have a go with someone like Ziggler, who is capable of getting a good match out of almost everyone he faces.

While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
