5 Superstars who could win the WWE Championship in 2021

#2 WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg

Goldberg has never held the WWE Championship during his Hall of Fame career

Since Goldberg returned to WWE in 2016, he has held a world championship on two separate occasions.

The WWE Hall of Famer defeated Kevin Owens for the gold in 2017, and he also beat "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt in 2020. Previously, Goldberg held the World Heavyweight Championship in 2003, so he is a former three-time world champion.

But even with these incredible achievements during his Hall of Fame career, Goldberg is missing one major feat. He has never won the WWE Championship, and the Hall of Famer clearly wants to change that.

The icon recently challenged then-WWE Champion Drew McIntyre for the title at the 2021 Royal Rumble pay-per-view. But McIntyre defeated the legendary star to retain the gold.

One could argue that this match against McIntyre was Goldberg's last chance to win the WWE Championship, but there is still time for the former WCW star to achieve his goal.

Goldberg revealed in 2020 that his current WWE contract requires him to compete in two matches per year until 2023. In theory, that means he has five chances to potentially challenge for the WWE Championship until his contract expires in 2023.

After his match against McIntyre, Goldberg is contracted to wrestle in one more match in 2021. This bout could end with the legend winning the WWE Championship for the first time.
