In a recent interview, WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg shared his rankings of the top five Spears in wrestling history, placing Roman Reigns’ Spear at number five. The discussion sheds new light on the effectiveness and legacy of Reigns’ signature move, as well as Goldberg’s perspective on his peers.
Goldberg’s Ranking of the Best Spears
Roman Reigns is widely recognized for his powerful Spear, which has helped him secure victories in many major matches throughout his career. Despite this, Goldberg ranked Reigns’ Spear last among his top five picks. During his interview with SHAK Wrestling, Goldberg placed himself at the top spot for the Spear, followed by Bron Breakker in second place. Edge earned the third spot, while Rhyno’s Gore was placed fourth. Reigns’ Spear was positioned at number five, surprising many fans given his status in WWE.
History Between Roman Reigns and Goldberg
The two wrestlers have crossed paths just once in a major match. Their storyline began on the road to WrestleMania 36 in 2020, but the feud was cut short when Reigns went on hiatus. During that period, Goldberg defended the Universal Title at WrestleMania 36 but lost it to Braun Strowman. It was not until two years later, at the Elimination Chamber 2022 event in Saudi Arabia, that Goldberg and Reigns met face to face for the Universal Title. Reigns successfully defended his championship that night, continuing his reign as the top Universal Champion.
Goldberg’s Upcoming Match and Career Outlook
Goldberg is approaching what may be the final chapter of his in-ring career, with a highly anticipated match against Gunther at Saturday Night’s Main Event. The bout is being promoted as Goldberg’s “last ride,” with the World Heavyweight Title on the line. At nearly 60 years old, Goldberg faces a significant challenge, and many fans expect Gunther to maintain his championship status. This event marks a pivotal moment both for Goldberg’s legacy and for the future of the World Heavyweight Title.
“Starting at the 20:05 mark you can hear my comments on the Spear rankings.” —Goldberg, WWE Hall of Famer
