53-year-old wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg is a world champion once again, after stunning “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt on Thursday in the main event of WWE Super ShowDown in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
With less than two months remaining before WrestleMania 36, Goldberg is now in line for a main event spot at the biggest show in wrestling – but many fans are upset that Wyatt’s championship reign was cut short.
Goldberg announced in February that he wanted to come back to the ring, and challenged The Fiend. In his first match since defeating Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam last year, Goldberg hit four spears and a Jackhammer in the span of a few minutes to reclaim the title, which he lost in 2017.

Goldberg’s win sets up a potential title showdown with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 36, after Reigns seemingly ended his feud with King Corbin by winning a steel cage match on Thursday.
Goldberg just defeated The Fiend for the universal championship. #WWE #WWESSD

Is it possible to be outraged and elated at the same time!?
Goldberg is a 2x Universal champion!
But…WWE ruined the best character they’ve had in a long time along the way. #WWESSD pic.twitter.com/VuFcP5H4LF— KeepUpWithKayfabe (@KeepUpWithKFabe) February 27, 2020

I don't think building up Bray Wyatt for over a year as an unbeatable monster and having lose to 53 year old part timer is the right thing. I would stuck with the Wyatt/Reigns plan, but obviously WWE wanted something else. #WWESSD

WTF ARE YOU DOING??? The Fiend was the best character in WWE today and you RUINED HIM. If I’m Bray Wyatt, I ask for my immediate release. UNBELIEVABLE 😡😡😡 #SuperShowdown pic.twitter.com/tdRfWcAAy1

Jokes aside, I understand Goldberg is a bigger name than “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt … but nights like tonight are why. Wyatt had to go away for months & recreate his whole character, which was already awesome, because he lost against the big names. Now they’ve done it to him again.
