When Goldberg lost to Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33, many believed that the former Universal Champion will not return to the WWE. However, after three years, Goldberg returned and challenged ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt for the Universal Championship at WWE Super ShowDown 2020. At Saudi Arabia, Goldberg did the impossible and became the first person to defeat The Fiend in a PPV. At the age of 53, Goldberg is far from ending his reign as the Universal champion and is scheduled to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 36.
