WWE: Roman Reigns, Wrestlers, Fans React To Goldberg Winning Championship

Bray Wyatt has been one of the best stretches he’s had in the WWE with his new persona The Fiend. His reign as the WWE Universal Champion has been met with positive regard. The creativity of his dual personality of children’s host coupled with the unbeatable and frightening image has propelled the gimmick to success.

The supernatural character he brings as The Fiend has been used to portray an indestructible force ready to manhandle any superstar that comes across his path. The push he’s been getting has turned his career up a notch. A twist in Wyatt’s new character is his strength and durability to take multiple finishers without missing a beat. In his feud against Seth Rollins, the Monday Night Messiah from time and time again kept hitting The Fiend with multiple curbs stomps to no avail.

Unfortunately for the Firefly Fun House host, this aura of invincibility has come to an end. His momentum as the top star of Smackdown was abruptly stopped with the emergence of Goldberg to the championship scene.

The two battled it out in the Saudi Arabia pay per view Super ShowDown. The match was expected to be quick with the trend Goldberg has had in recent appearances. True enough, the matchup between the two lasted for around three minutes and included a multitude of spears and ended with a jackhammer.

This caused multiple reactions from people across social media. Roman Reigns shared that if he were to pick a match between Wyatt or Goldberg, he would have wanted to face The Fiend in Wrestlemania. He emphasized that he’s looking into the future of the company now.

One fan page reacted after the match with a gif of the classic moment where Scott Hall electrocuted Goldberg, costing him his historic 173-win streak in WCW.

Hall took notice of this and shared that he better dust off his taser for Goldberg.

Fans were displeased with the ending with the sentiment that Goldberg is burying top talent in the company – blaming the management for taking advantage of nostalgia rather than writing quality booking.
