9. Samoa Joe

Even if Strowman won't work, there's still definite money to be made in a world-beater versus world-beater feud. Fans know Goldberg and believe in him as a true conqueror, and there are few men who are better equipped to play off of that side of "Da Man" than Samoa Joe.

Joe is currently a major part of NXT, but it seems likely that he'll be a part of the main roster by WrestleMania (it would be a major opportunity missed if he's not). A Goldberg-Joe clash could capture that "something's gotta give" feel, and all the while, Joe could make the program sizzle with his character and promo work - just imagine him cutting a heated interview on why he's nothing like Goldberg, and why Goldberg has no chance against him.

Granted, Samoa Joe - who's one of the best workers in the world - would probably be hamstrung in a bout with the then-50-year-old Goldberg. Joe could easily put on a better match with someone like Sami Zayn or Seth Rollins. Still, the story dynamic could be strong enough to make the match worthwhile.
