10 WrestleMania 33 Matches Fans Want (But Won’t Get)

5. Roman Reigns Vs. Goldberg

The other side of the Brock-Goldberg coin is that Goldberg won't be available to work with anyone else on the roster at WrestleMania - including a younger star in what could be an intergenerational dream match.

One obvious opponent for Goldberg would be Roman Reigns, and sure enough, WWE teased a confrontation between the two men on a recent Raw (before they both Speared Braun Strowman). The similarities between the two men are more pronounced than just a shared finisher, though - both received meteoric pushes to the top of their respective companies while being booked as world-beaters (probably before they were ready).

There are differences between the stars - Goldberg is a proven draw and more charismatic than Reigns, while Reigns is better worker than Goldberg ever dreamed of being - but that could have played into the bout as well. Instead, Reigns's plans for WrestleMania are currently up in the air, but Goldberg's are documented.
