WWE legend Goldberg defeats “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt to win the Universal Championship and wrestling fans ARE NOT happy.
53-year old professional wrestling legend Goldberg defeated fan favorite “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at the Super ShowDown event in Saudi Arabia on Thursday to become the new WWE Universal Champion. Goldberg squashed The Fiend in a matter of minutes, hitting spear after spear after spear before delivering a lackluster “Jackhammer” that stunningly put the champ down for the count.
Just to reiterate, with Wrestlemania 36 just over five weeks away, Bill Goldberg is your WWE Universal Champ.
Wrestling fans were shocked and downright furious at the way The Fiend’s matchup wit Goldberg played out, as many expected the haunting figure to defend his title at Wrestlemania. That said, the rumors that began swirling prior to their main event clash hinted at the shocking finish.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer, WWE is currently planning for Goldberg to go one-on-one with Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 36 next month, while The Fiend is expected to go up against John Cena. A Fiend-Cena match, which could be set up tomorrow night when Cena returns to SmackDown, will sell itself without the need of the title. Meanwhile, the company is surely chomping at the bit to have Reigns capture the title he never lost by standing tall over Goldberg on April 5th.
Of course, the rumored Wrestlemania card can change from now until then – but it certainly looks like Goldberg will enter Raymond James Stadium with the WWE Universal Championship around his waist. Check out some of the instant reactions to Goldberg’s shocking victory below.

You have got to be kidding me. All of that buildup of The Fiend for him to lose the title to a 53 year old Bill Goldberg. Vince McMahon has officially gone mad. No wonder the ratings are beneath the toilet, not even in it…. #WWE #WWESSD

I don't give a shit who you are, or what you're opinion is, there is no way you can justify what we just seen.
Imagine being Bray Wyatt. Concept for this entire character. The hours. The ideas. The creation. Execution.
Loses to a 53 yr old Goldberg in 3 min #WWESSD

“From a completely honest standpoint, I would much rather face “The Fiend.” He’s busted his ass all year long for it. No offense to Goldberg, I think he’s a great performer, he’s a great Superstar, but I’m into the future right now.”

Then have Roman beat Goldberg at mania which the match will be BOOed throughout which would lead to Roman being constantly booed again until he loses that title..I got this right?

WWE just sacrificed one of the best characters it's created in recent years just so the crowd would get fully behind Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
Fuck you WWE & you too Goldberg.#WWESuperShowDown

Even though it's true I'm not a fan of "Goldberg is a bigger name than The Fiend so he should have won." Imagine if The Fiend won tonight, then beat Cena at 'Mania, then won a big SummerSlam match – he'd be massive in his own right. Why not build new bonafide stars now? #WWESSD
