Wrestling fans are outraged after Goldberg squashes 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt to win Universal title

WWE have a tendency to make the fans mad from time to time, but they certainly pushed their luck in Saudi Arabia on Thursday night.

Goldberg, 53, defeated ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt to win the Universal title – for the second time – in a few short minutes.

Goldberg captured the Universal title for the second time

The Fiend is one of the best built characters WWE have created in the past few years if not a decade, and Goldberg ran right through him.

That wouldn’t be so bad if The Fiend hadn’t been built as unstoppable himself.

Goldberg was last a full-time performer in WWE in 2004. He entered the Hall of Fame in 2018 after a brief title run in 2017 and has sporadically returned from there.

His disaster match with Undertaker last year – also in Saudi Arabia – was met with serious criticism online and it seems this show is getting some blowback too.

Kevin Owens and The Fiend. Two hot as hell acts. KILLED by Goldberg. Vince doesn’t think the current roster are stars.

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

I hope Vince Mcmahon is proud of himself after all the work Bray Wyatt done to rebuild his career only to give it to Goldberg #SuperShowdown

Goldberg laid in several spears for near-falls before surviving a pair of mandible claws from Wyatt. However, one jackhammer was enough to lay the contest to bed.

Goldberg is not a popular choice to be Universal champion again

Earlier in the show, Brock Lesnar needed less than 90 seconds to defeat Ricochet who didn’t even get one bit of offence in on the WWE champion.

Now, WWE has two part-time champions as their title holders in Goldberg and Lesnar with Drew McIntyre and, presumably, Roman Reigns in line to take those belts back at WrestleMania on April 5.

Still, WWE have wondered for a long time why they haven’t been able to make stars like The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in recent years and they’ve answered their own questions in Saudi Arabia tonight.
