WWE Elimination Chamber 2022 - 6 Potential finishes for Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg: Major interference, potential squash match? 

#4. Roman Reigns does the squashing at Elimination Chamber instead of Goldberg

Roman Reigns believes that Goldberg will be the one getting squashed at this stage of his WWE career at Elimination Chamber. As part of the storyline, even Paul Heyman has boldly claimed that this scenario is a spoiler — not a prediction.

Last week on SmackDown, Reigns admitted that the WCW legend would have stood a chance against him two years ago. However, the Universal Champion has drastically changed since then, all thanks to his ascent as WWE's top villain during the pandemic.

Anyone who has stepped up to The Tribal Chief in recent times has ultimately failed to capture the world title. And if the plan for Goldberg is to take significant time off after his current contract ends, Reigns could gain a lot of momentum by squashing the WWE Hall of Famer on the road to WrestleMania 38.

Following Elimination Chamber, the Universal Champion will cross paths with Brock Lesnar again. So from a booking standpoint, serving a humiliating defeat to Goldberg could realistically propel Reigns to a level where he can beat Lesnar clean.
