Best of WWE past and present clash as Goldberg and Roman Reigns go head to head at Elimination Chamber in Jeddah

  • Wrestlemania 36 title meeting between the two had to be canceled and will now take place in Saudi Arabia on Feb. 19

Past will meet present at this year’s WWE Elimination Chamber in Jeddah when hall-of-famer Goldberg and Roman Reigns battle it out for the Universal Championship on Feb. 19.

Reigns will look to continue his streak at the top of the WWE, as the man nicknamed “The Head of the Table” has defeated a series of big names on his way to becoming the Universal Champion. It will be a new challenge for the current champion as the recent return of one of the sport’s greatest competitors, Goldberg, will see Reigns compete in his biggest showdown yet.

Their previously announced match-up at Wrestlemania 36, which Reigns pulled out of due to health issues, left Goldberg having to bide his time for a shot to take down the Universal Champion. Following his recent return to the ring, it will be a major moment for Goldberg as he looks to put a stop to Reign’s domination of the WWE world.

Elimination Chamber will also see Scotland’s Drew McIntire take to the ring with revenge in his sights against Madcap Moss and Happy Corbin.

A feud has developed in recent weeks after McIntire had to leave the WWE Day 1 event with severe injuries after a backstage assault by Moss and Corbin, before returning in dramatic style to come close to victory at Royal Rumble.

“Not how I want to win a final,” he wrote on X

DUBAI: Daniil Medvedev was awarded the Dubai Tennis Championships title after his opponent Tallon Griekspoor withdrew due to an injury he suffered in the semifinals, tournament organizers said on Saturday.
Russian Medvedev was chasing a ⁠second title in ⁠Dubai after he beat Felix Auger-Aliassime in the last four, and the former world number one ⁠reached the final without dropping a set.
Griekspoor said after his straight-sets win over Andrey Rublev that he was struggling with a hamstring injury and would have retired had he lost the ⁠second ⁠set.
“Not how I want to win a final. Hoping the injury for Griekspoor is not too bad and wishing him a speedy recovery,” Medvedev wrote on X.
