#2 Matt Riddle defeats and retires Goldberg

The art of storytelling and engaging the fans into believing that the animosity between the two Superstars fighting it out in the ring is what makes pro-wrestling so captivating. No doubt, the current generation of WWE Superstars are exceptionally talented with their in-ring skills, but when often we see many storylines that make close to no sense.

Thankfully, there still are many yet-to-be explored rivalries which, if done properly, could lead to a memorable feud. The prime example of the above is strife between NXT Superstar Matt Riddle and WWE Hall of Famer, Goldberg. The Original Bro has been very vocal about criticizing Goldberg and his dislike towards the Superstar. Interestingly, WWE has also been teasing a feud between the two for some time now.

In WWE Network's Special - WWE Chronicle Goldberg, the former Universal Champion had a confrontation with Matt Riddle, and the friction between the two was so real. The visual of a displeased Goldberg reminding Riddle "I'm not your BRO" was chilling. Honestly, it would be a missed opportunity if WWE doesn't utilize this and book the two in a proper feud.

A match of this status deserves a stage like WrestleMania and should end with Riddle going over and retiring Goldberg. WWE has a chance to make a big Superstar out of Riddle if they go ahead with this, and potentially set up another dream match between him and Brock Lesnar.
