Royal Rumble 2021: 5 consequences of Goldberg becoming the WWE Champion 

#2. A possible Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg bout

Will it happen?

Roman Reigns was supposed to challenge Goldberg for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 36, but the former pulled out for personal reasons. While a Champion vs. Champion bout is improbable at WrestleMania, a title unification could be possible.

We hope that isn't the case, though it would be a huge main event for WrestleMania 37. WWE may want to rebook the match they never got to go through with.

#1. Increased overall interest in WrestleMania 37

For all the negative consequences that a Goldberg win at Royal Rumble will have, there's one big positive that WWE always banks on - a high level of interest heading into WrestleMania.

While the pandemic drastically changed the face of WrestleMania 36, WWE will be better prepared for WrestleMania 37 - crowd or no crowd. Drew McIntyre has been WWE's standout Superstar over the last year, but Goldberg holds a level of star and drawing power that the Scotsman may never reach.

He remains one of the few larger-than-life figures in WWE. And if he becomes the WWE Champion at Royal Rumble, then there will be a big spike in interest heading into WrestleMania 37 season.
