#2. Goldberg - Another WWE World title before eventual retirement?

Goldberg isn't a favorite among WWE fans, but there's little doubt about the fact that he has more drawing power than most of the roster. He's an established legend and one of the few stars in WWE that holds a larger-than-life presence.

He certainly isn't the most technical wrestler you'll see in WWE, but for years, fans paid to see him have short, but intense matches. That's a pattern that's followed, but his post-2018 WWE run hasn't always yielded the best matches.

In that time, he's faced The Undertaker, Dolph Ziggler, Bray Wyatt, and Braun Strowman. His WrestleMania 33 match against Brock Lesnar was seemingly the perfect farewell for him in WWE. Both he and Lesnar got to right the wrong of WrestleMania 20 and did so in just five minutes - which was ultimately the culmination of a five-month storyline.

It's hard to say when Goldberg will retire, but he could be a star who doesn't get a proper retirement match. However, since WWE always likes to capitalize on him as much as possible, he may have the highest chance on this list of having a retirement match.
