Braun Strowman was given little fanfare when he was announced as Roman Reigns’ replacement in the WWE Universal Championship match with Goldberg on Saturday night at WrestleMania 36. But “The Monster Among Men” was able to take down the WWE Hall of Famer in just two minutes, withstanding four spears before nailing the legend with four Running Powerslams for the win.

Aside from the Kabuki Warriors dropping the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in the opening match, Goldberg was the only champion to lose his title during WrestleMania 36 Night One.
Well that match was like when you gave yourself unlimited finishers on SmackDown vs Raw as a kid, wasn’t it?
