Goldberg became the new WWE Universal Champion on Thursday at the Super ShowDown event, and fans are not happy about it. Not only does it mean WWE is entering WrestleMania 36 with a 53-year-old part-timer as one of the world champions, but it also halts Bray Wyatt’s momentum as “The Fiend.” The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion hit Wyatt with four spears and a Jackhammer, ending the match in just over three minutes. The latest reports have the WWE Hall of Famer taking on Roman Reigns at WrestleMania, while Wyatt will supposedly lock horns with John Cena in a rematch from WrestleMania XXX.

HIstory Repeats Itself
Jokes aside, I understand Goldberg is a bigger name than โThe Fiendโ Bray Wyatt … but nights like tonight are why. Wyatt had to go away for months & recreate his whole character, which was already awesome, because he lost against the big names. Now theyโve done it to him again.

Wasteful
I haven’t been as invested in a character as much as The Fiend in about five years now. Such a waste. #WWESSD pic.twitter.com/bOGOqC0SDp

WTF
It’s not often I speak out against #WWE creative. I would like to think that I see the bigger picture….

But WTF.
You had a chance to make Bray Wyatt/The Fiend an attraction.
Nothing against Bill Goldberg at all but I absolutely hated this. #WWESSD #WWESuperShowDown
