Time passes quickly when you are a fan of WWE, and so the fact that Goldberg was a part of the active roster as recently as WrestleMania may be lost to some. It does seem like a lifetime ago that Goldberg pinned The Fiend to become the WWE Universal Champion, especially if you consider everything that has happened since then not just in WWE but across the world.
Because of the nature of Goldberg's matches and the fact that he's a physical beast, there's always the chance that he could come back for yet another run with the company. Especially if you consider that WWE has been banking on part-time stars at marquee events like WrestleMania.
So, with that said, who are some of the top WWE superstars that Goldberg could face in dream matches if he was to make a comeback?
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg, a match that WWE had already advertised for WrestleMania
This is certainly the easiest of the 5 picks by a long margin, considering that this was a match that was actually advertised by WWE. Before Goldberg lost the WWE Universal Championship to Braun Strowman at WrestleMania, by all accounts, the plan was for him to put Roman Reigns over and have him be crowned as the Universal Champion. Sure, you may say that Roman Reigns will not be returning to WWE until the pandemic passes, but does one really believe that Goldberg will?
And the best part is that this time, because the match will likely not be for the WWE Universal Championship, the match is not going to be as predictable as it was, the last time around. Goldberg actually has a realistic chance of winning the contest to begin yet another WWE run.
#4 Randy Orton may want to end the legend of WWE Hall of Famer, Goldberg
Sure, Randy Orton and Goldberg have faced one another in the past but it was a different time in WWE and it certainly was a very different Randy Orton as well. The current avatar of Orton is at the top of his game, doing some of his best work in WWE and would make a formidable and worthy adversary for Goldberg somewhere down the line.
In fact, it may take someone like Goldberg to step in and end the tyranny that is being inflicted across the WWE roster by someone like Randy Orton.
Randy Orton is one of the final WWE Superstars from the old guard who is still active in the roster and may, in fact, be almost as well known as Goldberg to the world at large.
While it is difficult to imagine Goldberg putting Randy Orton over clean, it is a distinct possibility for sure, and either way, it is one of those dream WWE matches that is impossible to call.
#3 Seth Rollins vs. Goldberg (perhaps with other WWE Superstars in the ringside area?)
Seth Rollins has been portrayed as the most despicable heel in the WWE roster at the moment, popping out the eye of the legendary Rey Mysterio in his last encounter in what was a very polarizing match. One has to say that while an encounter with Goldberg may seem very one-sided at first, WWE has a variety of ways to make this interesting.
Murphy (and possibly even Austin Theory) are likely to be at Seth Rollins' side when he eventually has the showdown with Goldberg to tip the balance in his favor when he takes on the seemingly unstoppable beast. And Seth Rollins is no slouch either, especially if you consider that he has defeated top WWE stars such as Brock Lesnar and Triple H in past encounters.
It may even get the audience in 2020, that hasn't necessarily been a fan of Goldberg's recent runs to root for him considering how much the WWE Universe detests the Monday Night Messiah.
#2 Drew McIntyre is challenged by Goldberg for the WWE Championship
If Goldberg ever returns to WWE again, it is probably safe to say that he will not be returning in the mid-card. No, he will be a top-tier WWE Superstar when he makes his comeback to the company. And there is nobody who's ruling the roost at the moment that Goldberg can have a showdown with, like Drew McIntyre.
Much like Goldberg, Drew McIntyre has been portrayed as absolutely bulletproof with all his challengers succumbing to the Claymore. Whether it is Seth Rollins or Dolph Ziggler or even Brock Lesnar, they have all faced the unstoppable power of Drew McIntyre in WWE, to the point where one has to wonder if the man is indeed invincible or not. The best way to verify this is to have a massive showdown with Goldberg, one of the most protected sports entertainers of all time, WWE or otherwise.
If Goldberg was to put over Drew McIntyre, it would be the passing of the torch in a sense, between two similarly booked top-tier talents.
#1 Edge vs. Goldberg, presumably at a WWE event in Saudi Arabia
One would assume that when things are back to normal again, WWE will go back to Saudi Arabia for the Super ShowDown event and Goldberg, one of the last icons in the sport, will play a prominent part in these Super ShowDowns.
Speaking of a spear vs. spear match, it does not get much bigger than Goldberg vs. Edge, two legends in the business at some point in the future. Yes, I am aware that Edge is currently on the shelf, but by the time things go back to normal and Saudi events start again, one would assume that Edge would be fit and raring to go for yet another WWE match, for sure.
Be sure to leave a comment and let me know whom you'd like to see Goldberg tussle with next. Do you think that he should come back for another run in WWE at all?
