It’s not going to be easy for Roman Reigns at Elimination Chamber when Goldberg steps inside the ring with him.

The Icon is ready to smash The Tribal Chief at Elimination Chamber. He’s already reached the destination, but he’s not taking a break. He’s at the gym, hitting the weights, building the strength, and gathering the energy to defeat Reigns. Interestingly, the second one to be at the gym was Michael Cole.

This could be the beginning of Roman Reigns’ end.

After his match at Crown Jewel 2021, Goldberg reportedly had only one match left in his WWE contract. If he hasn’t negotiated a new contract with the company, this will be his final match in WWE.

He has vowed to make the match count, and walk out of the ring as the new WWE Universal Champion. But, if he can’t defeat Roman, he will ensure Roman regrets setting foot in the ring with him.

If Goldberg wins the championship and it’s also his last match in WWE, he will have to vacate the position once he is officially gone. At that point, Roman Reigns can try to become the champion again but there are quite a few men on the roster who would love to hold the Universal Championship Belt.
