WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns is currently feuding with Kevin Owens on SmackDown. As Reigns looks for ultimate supremacy over the SmackDown Roster, his former rival Goldberg has challenged Reigns.
WWE Hall of Famer Booker T weighed in on the potential rivalry. He even compared Goldberg to Boxing legend Mike Tyson.
“I’m down for anything if it’s right. My thing is this; he’s one of those guys kind of like Mike Tyson right now, the guy that’s been around a long time, past his prime,” Booker revealed.

“If he jumped in there with Roman Reigns, I’d expect Roman Reigns to go out there and humble him. And that’s the way it should go if he actually wants to take that route. Am I knocking him or anything? No, I’m talking from a promoter’s perspective only.”
The five-time world champion said, “Could it be something special? Yes, because what we got right there guys are two grown a** men. And that right there – just a marquee – with Roman on one side and Goldberg on the other. It’s going to sell. People are going to want to see it. Spear vs. spear. We got something here.”
Roman Reigns is the torch-bearer for the new generation
Roman Reigns has become the “top guy” after his heel turns. Both critics and fans are applauding the heel Reigns. Booker believes Roman vs. Goldberg will be a competition for passing the “torch.”
“There again, me personally, I’m all about passing the torch and Roman Reigns right now… believability, Roman Reigns is right now the most believable guy in the business right now. You watch Roman; Roman is a throwback to how guys were back in the day.”
