WWE: 5 matches for Goldberg if he decides to come back

Maybe these two are not finished with each other yet!
Maybe these two are not finished with each other yet!

After the abomination of a match against the Undertaker at Super Showdown, the fans have started to question the ability of Goldberg to ever step inside the ring again. We can't blame them after seeing Goldberg knock himself out during the match.

Goldberg busted himself open even before the match began when he headbutted the door while making his entrance. But he aggravated the cut when he drove himself headfirst into the ring post, which resulted in a concussion.

The failure of the match made the fans think they have seen the last of Goldberg as an in-ring performer. But we cannot pass judgments on his abilities with just one bad match.

He did well for his age in his matches against Brock Lesnar during his last run with the company. Super Showdown was unfortunately not a good outing for the WCW legend, but he could have some gas left in the tank for a few more matches.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

There are worthy and young opponents for Goldberg in the WWE. If he decides to return to the ring once again, there are lot of superstars lining up to square off with him. Let's take a look at five of those Superstars.

#5 Randy Orton

Goldberg had squared off with Randy Orton during his feud with Triple H in 2003. The Legend Killer got manhandled by Goldberg in the match, and there's no doubt Orton would love to get even with the WCW legend.

Randy Orton has become a whole different person since the last time they met inside the ring. Orton has become a 13-time WWE Champion, and his accolades have surpassed that of Goldberg.

Orton is one of the safest in-ring workers in the industry. His match against Triple H at Super Showdown is a proof the Legend Killer can safely carry out a match against part-timers.

The fans would love to see a match between these two legends, and it's up to WWE & Goldberg to sort things out to make this happen.

#4 Triple H

We can revisit one of the best rivalries in WWE history!
We can revisit one of the best rivalries in WWE history!

Triple H and Goldberg had one of the memorable feuds in the history of the WWE. Both Superstars fought over the World Heavyweight Championship and traded victories over each other.

Triple H had the last laugh in the feud after defeating Goldberg to win the world title at Armageddon 2003. One of the memorable moments of this rivalry is when Triple H issued a bounty to take out Goldberg, which was answered by Batista.

Triple H has been making sporadic returns to the ring in the past few years. His next match will be in Tokyo, Japan when he teams up with AJ Styles & the Good brothers in a 4-on-four tag team. They will take on Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Samoa Joe.

Triple H will have a few more matches left in his tank before he hangs up his boots. Goldberg will be a great opponent for the Game if the former decides to get back inside the squared circle.

#3 Brock Lesnar

Goldberg still has Lesnar's number!

We have seen this match multiple times before but Goldberg is still one up on Brock Lesnar, and the Beast Incarnate would love to get even with his old foe.

We've seen four encounters between these two powerhouses. Goldberg emerged victorious in their meetings at WrestleMania 20 & Survivor Series 2016 and had eliminated the Beast Incarnate in the 2017 Royal Rumble.

Lesnar picked up the win in their last encounter at WrestleMania 33 where he defeated Goldberg to win the Universal Championship. Both Superstars went their separate ways, and Goldberg got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame the next year.

While Lesnar went on to have two successful reigns with the Universal Championship, Goldberg only returned to the ring earlier this month.

Both of them have excellent chemistry together, and despite their previous matches being short, they created an impact which will last forever. So there is no mistake in having these two behemoths lock horns once again.

#2 The Undertaker

The disappointment in his face tells the story!

It's true their match at Super Showdown was a complete disaster, but we can't let that write off the possibility of these two squaring off once again. Both Superstars are legends of the industry and capable of lacing up their boots for one more match against each other.

The Undertaker was reportedly furious after their match at Super Showdown. They had a shouting contest at gorilla position blaming each other for the failure of the match. The Deadman flew home in Brock Lesnar's private jet to avoid meeting with Goldberg again.

WWE should have Goldberg and the Undertaker make it up for their failed match at Super Showdown. But both Superstars are in their 50s and don't have enough gas left in the tank. It's up to the two Superstars to let bygones be bygones and get back into the ring once again.

#1 Roman Reigns

A match between the two masters of the spear!

Roman Reigns currently holds the stature that Goldberg once held in WCW. We can say Reigns looked like the second coming of Goldberg during his rise to the top. Goldberg should sign off his legendary in-ring career against a young talent, and Roman Reigns is an excellent choice to take that spot.

From their signature moves to their dominance inside the ring, both Superstars have a lot of things in common. It would be a treat for the fans to watch these two Superstars go at it against each other.

Both Superstars had a brief face-to-face altercation in the ring on the October 16, 2017 episode of Raw. Their double spear on Braun Strowman was an epic sight to watch for the fans.

Roman Reigns is slowly starting his rise to the top once again. Vince McMahon is making sure he does not rush Reigns' push like he did before and that's the reason Reigns is not in a title picture yet. A match against Goldberg will be an excellent opportunity for Reigns to re-establish his dominance in the WWE once again.
