I mean, what did you expect?
At Thursday's WWE Super ShowDown in Saudi Arabia, Goldberg upended the alter-ego of Bray Wyatt, The Fiend, to become the WWE Universal Champion. In a squash match. Because … reasons.

Regardless of how you feel about it, the Wyatt/Fiend character was one of the hottest things going in wrestling less than a year ago and has been booked in a way that made it nearly impossible to predict who would beat him for the title.
Enter Goldberg.
Well, the 53-year-old, who might as well be an octogenarian in the ring, dethroned the Fiend for that title in less than two minutes in Saudi Arabia. Needless to say, the vocal minority (but seeming majority) on Twitter was not a fan of the outcome.
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

They buried what was the hottest thing in wrestling to put it on a part-time old man who can’t physically compete for more than 5 mins. What a joke. This company is obsessed with Brock and Goldberg idk why. The fiend was literally unbeatable this whole time #WWESSD pic.twitter.com/cgG86UQI0z

Goldberg in 2020 beats the Fiend to win his second Universal Championship
Two of the very best characters in professional wrestling loose for Goldberg's gain #SuperShowdown
I love Goldberg. He's the reason I got hooked on pro wrestling back when I was 8 years old. But to build up Bray like that for so long and have him lose to a 53-year-old clean. What a bloody waste. What a load of shite. #WWESSD

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