WWE: Goldberg just won the Universal Championship and WWE fans are stunned

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.
