Goldberg made a surprising return to WWE before WrestleMania 36, defeating the Fiend Bray Wyatt to win the WWE Universal Title for the second time in his career at the Mohammed Abdu Arena in Riyadh Saudi Arabia.

Goldberg and The Fiend both got their own incredible entrance before facing off in front of a sold out crowd in Saudi Arabia.

Wyatt and Goldberg stood face to face for a bit as “Goldberg” chants picked up. Then Goldberg hit a spear as Wyatt was taking off his entrance jacket. 1-2- kick out.

The Fiend locked on a Mandible Claw. Goldberg got out and hit another spear and then a third. Goldberg positioned himself for a fourth spear which he hit. Then he covered for another two count.

Wyatt locked on another Mandible Claw and Goldberg struggled for a bit. He got to his feet and broke the hold with a headbutt and some knees. Then Goldberg hit a terrible looking Jackhammer and won the Universal Title.

After the match was over, the Fiend got to his feet. The lights went out, and he was gone when they came back up.
