Goldberg Defeats ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt At SSD & Fans Are Pissed
WWE returned to Saudi Arabia and the main event featured Goldberg taking on Universal Champion “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt. In the end, Goldberg left with the title. But, fans were not happy.
The match lasted three minutes and there was little action. We got a few spears from Goldberg and the mandible claw from Wyatt. Then Goldberg hit a sloppy jackhammer to claim the gold. As you can imagine, fans were not and they let their anger out on social media.
Fans Are Not Pleased With Goldberg Winning
53 years old. I get that nostalgia sells, but if WWE don’t start building stars now then in twenty years time they won’t have any nostalgia left to sell. #WWESSD pic.twitter.com/0aSqeuOj1p

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

Me to @VinceMcMahon for having 53 year old Goldberg beat the Fiend in 3 minutes #WWESSD pic.twitter.com/on5bBNhUbD

Another Disappointing Show From Saudi Arabia
#WWESSD Update:
It’s been one hour since the #UniversalTitle was taken from Bray Wyatt by Goldberg.

We don’t have to pretend Bray Bray Wyatt is some kind of super worker, but pretending 53 year old Goldberg is on his level is odd.
Wyatt had good matches with Bryan, Balor, Ambrose, Sheamus, Jericho and Cena. Not great, but a level that Goldberg wouldn’t be able to reach today.

Hot take.
Goldberg winning doesn’t say WWE doesn’t care about their future. They want Reigns to be their future. NO CHANCE does Roman get cheered against the Fiend.
Having a transition to Goldberg and then another coronation at Mania is the way to put reigns back on top.

Roman: “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.”

Fans Continue To Slam Goldberg Vs. “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt
Goldberg, a guy who can barely pick up Bray Wyatt wins the Universal championship.
So we’re suppose to believe the match with Roman Reigns will be better? #WWE #WWESSD #WrestleMania

Nice to see Goldberg move on from the jackhammer to just doing a suplex. Gotta save himself in his old age. #SuperShowdown pic.twitter.com/9e1M6Vgcz8

If Tom Brady can win a Super Bowl at 41, I guess Bill Goldberg can be Universal champion at 53.

We will have to see what this means for WrestleMania. It appears, Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg will happen for the belt. As for Wyatt, he could be facing John Cena. We should know a lot more come SmackDown, as Cena returns.
