WWE Rumor Roundup: 52-year-old replaced in Elimination Chamber, top star being 'groomed' for a big feud with Roman Reigns, another huge name to re-sign

#2 Goldberg vs. Roman Reigns has been in the works for a long time in WWE

Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer revealed that WWE had been planning a match between Roman Reigns and Goldberg for a long time.

The two were initially set to clash at WrestleMania 36 before Reigns pulled out due to the COVID-19 scare and was replaced by Braun Strowman.

''Goldberg and Roman. Makes sense, they’ve been wanting to do that match. I don’t see Goldberg winning… Like, you could do, like have Brock Lesnar get his retribution, cost Goldberg the championship," Meltzer said.

He also revealed that the chances of Goldberg winning at Elimination Chamber are low because the company has wanted Reigns to beat Goldberg for a long time.

''I think that Reigns just beats Goldberg because they’ve been wanting to have Reigns beat Goldberg for a couple years now,'' said Meltzer.
