7 WWE Superstars who want to face Roman Reigns

#3 Goldberg wants to face Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns and Goldberg

Roman Reigns was originally supposed to face Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 last year. The match did not take place, though, as Reigns pulled out of the show due to the pandemic.

Goldberg wants to face Roman Reigns once again in WWE, which he revealed in an appearance on The Bump in December last year.

The WCW icon accused Reigns of stealing his move, the spear, and said The Tribal Chief doesn't perform it well.

"He backed out on me at WrestleMania, he stole my move, God knows how long ago, and he continues to perform it at subpar levels. Let’s be perfectly honest, I’m the dude who delivers the Spear and I don’t think that he understands what it’s like until I deliver one to him. So Roman, it’s coming and I’m coming for you. I may be old, I may be grey, but I’m still Goldberg.” (H/T WrestlingInc)

Roman Reigns was expected to win the Universal Championship from Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 last year. Reigns' absence meant Braun Strowman got the chance to get in the ring with Goldberg and The Monster Among Men won the title.

It will be interesting to see the reaction of fans if a match between Goldberg and Reigns does take place. Reigns is currently a heel, while the WWE Universe doesn't particularly love Goldberg. There's a possibility of this match happening this year as Goldberg has a contract which requires him to have two matches per year.

Goldberg has wrestled just once in 2021 at Royal Rumble, where he faced Drew McIntyre.
