Braun Strowman had his own push towards the Universal Championship following Roman Reigns' leukemia revelation back in November 2018 and it led to a match between then champion Brock Lesnar and Strowman, where The Monster Among Men was defeated by The Beast.

This year's WrestleMania should have been Roman Reigns' chance to win back the Championship be was forced to relinquish over a year ago, but once again his health got in the way and Braun Strowman was the man who stepped up and took on Goldberg for the Championship instead.

There were rumors before the match that this was Goldberg's final WWE appearance for a while and that the Championship had to change hands, and it obviously should have been Reigns that defeated the WWE Hall of Famer, but instead, it was Strowman.

This is one of the company's biggest Championships and Strowman was able to win in a match that had no buildup and was announced as part of a throwaway segment on SmackDown. What does this mean for Strowman's Championship reign moving forward?
