Triple H to bring back WWE Hall of Famer at the Royal Rumble to set up his final feud? Potential angle explored

Under the creative regime of Triple H, WWE is heading toward the Royal Rumble 2025 Premium Live Event, set to take place live on February 1, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Every year, the traditional 30-person match features returns and unexpected twists, making the event even more significant.

Amid this, there is a prospect that Triple H might bring WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg to Royal Rumble 2025. This could be done to set up his final feud in the Stamford-based promotion. The last time Goldberg appeared in WWE was at Bad Blood 2024, where he was involved in a heated segment with Gunther, while Triple H was also part of the segment.

Additionally, the iconic star has already confirmed that he will return to the squared circle for his retirement match in 2025. To set up this final match, Triple H may plan to bring the Hall of Famer to the traditional 30-man Royal Rumble match to initiate his final feud against Gunther.

When Goldberg is in the ring, Gunther might interfere and eliminate the veteran, intensifying the heat between them. Later, Goldberg may return post-WrestleMania 41 and eventually challenge Gunther to a match at a Saudi Arabia premium live event. For those who might not know, recent reports have confirmed that the Stamford-based promotion will be heading to a Saudi Arabia PLE in June 2025.

Saudi Arabia shows usually feature legendary names and Goldberg has already wrestled there four times. As a result, the iconic star might compete in a retirement match in the Middle East.

It remains to be seen how things will unfold in the forthcoming PLE and whether the 58-year-old star will show up in the traditional Royal Rumble match.

Does Triple H already have plans for Goldberg's WWE return?

According to recent reports, it seems that Triple H is already planning for Goldberg’s return. The iconic star is expected to make his appearance by the end of January 2025. Reports suggest that the January 27, edition of WWE RAW, taking place in Atlanta, Georgia, will be the location for his return.

Atlanta is where the Hall of Famer began his career in professional wrestling. Making his return just before the Royal Rumble PLE could be another sign that Goldberg will declare his entry into the traditional Men’s Royal Rumble match in 2025.
