Goldberg can be an excellent addition to the already star-studded Men’s Royal Rumble match set to take place at the name-sake event in Indianapolis.
WWE Royal Rumble 2025 is rapidly approaching and is set to take over Lucas Oil Stadium on February 1 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The event will feature some of the biggest WWE superstars of all time, such as Roman Reigns, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins, Jey Uso, and, most of all, John Cena, who will be competing in his last Rumble event.
Among these illustrious names, one more that can possibly join them in the Men’s Rumble match is Goldberg. The WCW legend had made an appearance in WWE after a long time at the Bad Blood Premium Live Event. Following that, he announced his retirement match to take place in 2025. With Goldberg reaching the end of his in-ring days, here are the three reasons that make him a possibility to appear in the Men’s Royal Rumble match:

3) Dominant impact before retirement match

Goldberg is always known for being one of the most dominant in-ring competitors in the history of wrestling despite questionable in-ring acumen. With the former WWE Universal Champion getting ready for retirement in 2025, the Royal Rumble match could be his opportunity to dust off the ring rust as he has not competed inside the squared circle for a long time. Moreover, this match could also help Goldberg re-establish his dominating persona in front of the WWE Universe again.

2) More Starpower added to the Rumble

As announced, this year’s Men’s Royal Rumble match is set to be one of the most star-studded bouts of all time. It will feature top names like John Cena, Roman Reigns, Rey Mysterio, Jey Uso, Seth Rollins and CM Punk among the announced participants. Goldberg joining the Rumble match will only add more star power to the mix, as he is still one of the most legendary names and a WWE Hall of Famer in his own right, making i,t perhaps, one of the greatest Rumble matches of all time.

1) Get rumoured World Championship at WrestleMania

Ever since Goldberg made his return to WWE at Bad Blood and announced retirement in 2025, there have been rumours of a potential match between Goldberg and Gunther. The belief became stronger when the two were involved in a heated confrontation at WWE Bad Blood PLE. Therefore, the Royal Rumble match could be Goldberg’s ticket to go to WrestleMania 41 and challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship at The Show of Shows this year.
