5 WWE Superstars who could retire Goldberg

Goldberg's WWE run is one of the most conflicting returns in professional wrestling history. One of WCW's most successful homegrown talents, he was given a mega push that saw him defeat his opponents in a matter of minutes. His popularity barely decreased even after the end of his winning streak.

When Goldberg joined WWE, he was treated as a major player, but he wasn't used to his limited strengths. He feuded against Brock Lesnar and has since maintained a part-time schedule limited to two matches per year.

The arrangement has been praised for the company finally learning to use the man to his strengths and criticized Goldberg for receiving major spots and title reigns in place of younger talents.

Goldberg is hardly a spring chicken at the age of 54, and he can only enter the ring for a limited number of matches before retiring for good. WWE must not squander the opportunity and let a major talent or a rising superstar gain a clean victory over the Hall of Famer.

Here is a list of 5 WWE superstars who could retire Goldberg when the time comes.

#5 WWE Superstar Austin Theory

The idea has been conceptualized by former WWE and WCW veteran Vince Russo. He believes that Theory, who is currently under the tutelage of Vince McMahon, would gain a long-standing connection with the fans if he manages to retire Goldberg.

Theory defeating Goldberg and putting an end to the latter's legendary career is a far-fetched idea, but so is him becoming Vince McMahon's on-screen protege. The latter idea is a real, observable event on weekly television and the former too might turn into reality.

#4 Current WWE Champion Big E

The second New Day member to win the WWE Championship, Big E has been a fan-favorite champion since his Money In The Bank cash-in. However, his booking has hardly been perfect, with the company making him look weak on multiple occasions.

However, if Big E wrestles and manages to defeat Goldberg at the upcoming Wrestlemania, it would act as a strong boost to his reign and immediately mark him as a dominant world champion.

#3 Former WWE Raw Tag Team Champion Omos

Ever since he debuted and showed dominance in the ring, Omos has put the fans on notice. His partnership with AJ Styles recently ended and he'll probably defeat the veteran performer in their upcoming match.

Omos is definitely in the company's good grace, and WWE needs a dominant giant after the shocking release of Braun Strowman. If the former RAW Tag Team Champion defeats Goldberg and ends his legendary career, he will immediately become a force to reckon with.

The only problem with Omos defeating Goldberg is the former's limitations in the ring. The feud against AJ Styles will prove whether he can go toe-to-toe with a veteran in a singles match or not.

#2 Current Universal Champion Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns is the highlight of WWE SmackDown, a must-see attraction reigning atop the blue brand's kingdom. However, he has run out of credible challengers.

Drew McIntyre is the only realistic challenger left on the blue brand and if Reigns defeats him, Goldberg can be a challenger to be reckoned with. Of course, The Head of the Table should defeat Goldberg and end his in-ring days for good.

But whether an already dominant star like Reigns needs a victory over Goldberg is an important question to ask. If the match ever takes place, it would surely be interesting to see who comes out on top.

#1 Former WWE Champion Bobby Lashley

Bobby Lashley and Goldberg's recently concluded rivalry was surprisingly entertaining. It involved the Hall of Famer's son, and the heroic father avenged him to end the rivalry with The Almighty.

However, Lashley needs to remain relevant. Even if he doesn't get a Championship run, retiring Goldberg could achieve the goal.

If Bobby Lashley defeats Goldberg, preferably on Wrestlemania, and ends the WCW legend's career, it will add to his legacy and provide him with incredible achievement. The Almighty could then go on to challenge the company's Champion.
