WWE has seemingly booked a dream match for the Royal Rumble 2021 PPV featuring Goldberg on it. Although the official confirmation of the match wasn’t received, it appears that The King of Claymore Country will take on The Myth at the first PPV event of the year over the WWE Championship.
This week’s Legends Night edition of RAW which was the first show of 2021, witnessed Drew McIntyre retaining his title over Keith Lee in the main event by executing his Claymore Kick. After the match, Goldberg made his return and confronted McIntyre in the middle of the ring to the shock of the WWE Universe.

The former Universal Champion gave some major props to Drew McIntyre for having what it takes to represent the company as the WWE Champion. But then he doubted whether McIntyre has the respect for the legends. Goldberg went on and accused McIntyre of thinking low of the WWE Legends who were lined up, on the ramp during the main event.

He then added that he wasn’t coming to RAW to demand anything, but he was here to challenge Drew McIntyre for the title at the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Drew denied the accusations made by the returning superstars and said that fighting Goldberg would be like fighting his dad.
McIntyre was then shoved to the mat by the Hall of Famer but he was right back on his feet and bumped his head with him. Goldberg was being rumored for an upcoming match against WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns during the WrestleMania 37 season. No update is available if WWE will reincarnate that feud but per his WWE contract, the former WCW franchise player will compete in at least two matches through 2023.
Goldberg is likely to exercise that contract by competing in one of those two matches at Royal Rumble 2021 PPV event. The show will air, live on January 31 from The ThunderDome at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. You can check out the current card of the show as given below,
