Goldberg is a WWE Hall of Famer and a dream opponent for several WWE stars, who were not in the company when the WCW star was in his prime. However, the stars do not easily give up on the dream matches and recently the former WWE Champion Jinder Mahal expressed his desire to face Goldberg.
Goldberg takes a shot at Jinder Mahal
On the latest edition of WWE’s The Bump, Goldberg and Mahal appeared as special guests. The two stars were being interviewed together and Mahal was asked who he would like to face if he challenges for the WWE Championship in the future. He went on to become a bit nostalgic and made it clear that he would like to face the former WWE Universal Champion, Goldberg.
Mahal made his return to WWE with an improved physique and we now know where got the inspiration to build up his physique. He recalled how he used to work out early in his career and wanted to build up his physique like none other than Goldberg. Jinder Mahal further said that it would be an honor to share the ring with the WWE legend.
He had the following to say:
“I would actually like to face Goldberg,” said Mahal. “Bill, I grew up looking up to you. Why do you think I’ve got these massive traps? It’s because I was watching you when I was a kid, started lifting the milk jugs, started doing shrugs.”

He added: “It would be an honor to share the ring with you, and it would be an even bigger honor to even defeat you for the WWE Championship, the second WWE Championship that the Modern Day Maharaja would hold.”
The former WCW star replied with a short yet shattering sentence as he slammed Mahal.
He responded saying: “Well, we can all dream, can’t we?”
The veteran star then stated it was an honor to hear Mahal’s kind words. The Modern-Day Maharaja later suggested WrestleMania be a suitable venue for them to face off. Goldberg further suggested holding the match in Jinder Mahal’s native, India.
He also stated that he will add Mahal “to the list” before the conversation was directed elsewhere. The former WWE Universal Champion is set to challenge Bobby Lashley for the WWE title at SummerSlam pay-per-view this Saturday.
