1. The Undertaker

When the news was announced that Goldberg, Lesnar and The Undertaker would all be participating in the third Saudi Arabia show, it was probably a common consensus that Goldberg would be wrestling one of the other two.

However, to avoid cheating the system and including two obvious wrestlers in this list, we are not going to include Lesnar. We have already seen Lesnar vs. Goldberg enough and it would be nice to see Goldberg wrestle someone else. That someone else could be The Undertaker.

Heck, I would not be surprised if WWE does a triple-threat match to try and keep all three guys fresh and keep the match from totally stinking. However, in terms of a singles match, Taker is the guy.

This would be perfect for Goldberg. He would be wrestling someone that does not put on long matches anyways, but is still able to call the match as it goes along. It certainly would be spot-heavy, and there is a worry about Taker’s health against a stiff Goldberg, but it would be entertaining regardless.

The seeds are there for this as well and WWE can easily start to plant them. Taker is the one that eliminated Goldberg in the 2017 Royal Rumble, making it easy to write in some kind of storyline for Goldberg wanting his vengeance.
